The perennial drawing power of
s The Old Homestead" is indisput-
Able, and its long success and con-
inuous popularity are due in no
nconsiderable measure to the fact
hat it is perfect transcript of ma
lure; holding the mirror up to ma
= ure as do few other plays of mod
brn times. 1t was accounted a good
play twenty years ago, as far back
is 1886, when it had it's initial per-
&ormance at the Boston Theatre and
made the most telling success ever
scored by new production in Bos-
&on. Year after year since then it
has repeated that success, and 1t has
bven improved with age. Little
melodramatic touches and effects
have been eliminated until now
here is more natural wit and humor
in the dialogue and more genuine
touches of pathos and sentiment
than ever before. In Joshua Whit
Eomb, the central figure of that cir
Ele of familiar types, we have to
welcome a perfect representative of
he best and broadest type of hu-
manity, a prosperous, warm-hearted,
5beace-loving, God-fearing Yankee
Farmer. 1t will be seen at the
Lyric on Thursday evening, Dec.
R8. This is play that everyone
should witness.
