"osvIo AoIeomb. /"

rhe rural drama. David Holcomb, T"
was presented by William Lawrence and
his company to q good sized audience in
Chandler Music hall Saturday evening.
William Lawrence, who took the title
role, is an actor OF some reputation, hav-
ing played the part Of Joshua Whitcomb
in "The Old Homestead" several seasons.
The scene OF the story is New Hamp-
shire farm and the time is the present.
The first three acts represent the loss to
David and his wife Of nearly everything
they love. First Charlie, their son, re-
turns home from the city with his friend,
Fred MunrOe. In talk with his father
he confesses that he is in love with an &C.
tress. David flies in passion and orders
Charlie from the house. After he is
gone, David's drunken brother, Hiram,
steals the money which has been saved to
pay the mortgage and the theft is laid to
Charlie when Square Jackson calls for his
money. In the second act Hiram, after
some words with David, leaves home to
make his own way without any OF
David's help. In the third act Grace,
David's daughter, elopes with Fred
Munroe, who leaves a check to pay OF the
mortgage. At the close of the act Hiram

"snIy. the Boz Ar.Ist COMING"


"Billy, the Boy Artist" who will be
seen in Chandler Music hall Tuesday
evening, April 5, has been known to
readers Of the Sunday Globe for the last
ten years. He and his friends, Prof. o.
Howe Wise and Prof. |. B. Schmart, Mr..
Chumpleigh, Sister Maud and Aunt Abby,
are the creations OF Ed. Payne, who is
not only cartoonist but a playwrig ht
with three successful productions to bis
credit. He is also one of the cleverest
miniature painters in this country. All
these things, however, are Mr.. Payne's
methods Of having fun; bis serious work
is as a designer OF advertising and writer
OF booklets.
The plot Of the play is simple; the incl
dent is multiiarious, and the humor is
rich. Billy, of course, is on in every
scene with his paint-pot
Aunt Abby, at W bose farm the first act
takes place, has made a will and has hid
den it carefully away in carefully dis
closed place. Billy has been playing his
pranks on everybody so long that there is
universal desire to have him quietly
kidnapped. The two professors engage a
gypsy to do the trick. But Billy's paint
ish humor stops for no plots, and before
night fall be has accomplished SO much
in the way OF practical joking that he is
condemned to spend the night out of
doors.
The gypsy, unable to carry out his con-
tract because the victim is not at the APP
pointed place, kidnaps the will instead.
This climax ends the first act.
In the second act an artist photograph
er adyertises for a gypsy model, in order
to corral the gypsy who has the will He
succeeds. This il all the plot there is to
the second act, but there is incident till
the audience holds its sides.
There are % musical numbers in the
play, some OF them topical songs and one
OF them barefoot dance by chorus of
eminently pretty chorus girls.
On the opening night in Portsmouth,
the theatre held the largest audience in
its whole history. The reception of the
play was enthusiastic in the extreme.
I be second night, also, failed to show the
usual Stacking off in interest.
Last Thursday the company moved to
Dover, to finish out the week and Mon
day appeared at the Grand Opera house
in Boston for weeks run. The rest of
the season is already booked, the tour be-
ing mainly through New England states
on the theory that in this section people
are more familiar with Billy than across
The New York line.

instrument somewhat puzzles David.
Finally Charlie discloses he fact that this
Ethel Oonnelly, who has previously ad-
mitted being an actress, is his fancee.
Seth, one of David's farm hands, claims
Grace. Then all celebrate with a dance
in the midst of. which Square Jackson
calls for the mortgage money and much
to his surprise he gets it. The act closes
with the playing Of "Home, Sweet
Home"
The play was well received by the audi
ence, who applauded ii generously.
