1.-THE old homestead" OF the BOYD.
The old Homestead" Is still a good play,
no matter how often you have seen IL.
But. without the charm OF Denman
Thompson's personality something seems
lacking. Mr.. Edward L. Snader, who Is
playing Uncle Joshua whitcomb, IL an ex-
cellent substitute for Mr.. Thompson, who
has reached the age where long tours
with a play-actlng troupe are out OF the
question. Many OF the quaint turns and
merry. %twinkling ways Of the originator
Of the famous character have been caught
by Mr.. Snader. who is natural and very
effective throughout. His work lacks moth
ing In sincerity, and at all times he in
vests the character with the rugged quail
ties of the New England farmer, tempered
with q jovial good humor and marked by
a kindly ~shrewdness that endeared the old
boy to all.
But Mr.. Snader cannot give the whole
show. and most Of the other lack the
spontaneity essential TO the proper Illus
tration of the several situations. A most
enjoyable feature OF the production is the
double quartet of male voices, which sings
several songs very well. The piece is beau
tifully mounted, great attention having
been paid to realistic details and the effect
Is charming. The door yard at the New
Hampshire farm home, the parlor In the
New York residence, the street at Grace
church and the living room in the old
homestead are all reproduced most faith
fully.
