CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.
"PEAcEFrrr. VALLEY -


The Orpheum players will present this
delightful play of rural life which was
made famous by the venerable actor, Sol
Smith Russell, story in three acts writ
ten by Edward E. Kidder. 1t will be piv-
en- at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Phila-
delphia, next week. Peaceful Vallevn
is so well known by every theatre-goer
that words would be wasted in retelling
OF it. 1t can only be said that this play
was used as vehicle by Mr.. Russell to at
tain the popularity which he afterwards
held in the hearts of the American people.
In the Orpheum production Mr.. Howell
Hansel will assume the role played with
such success by Mr.. Russell, that of Hosea
Howe, and Miss Marion Barney will be
seen as Virgie Rand, Mr. ]. ANTHONY
Smythe as Jack Farquhar, Mr.. Edwin
Middleton as lothian Ford, Mr.. Wilmer
Walther as Leonard Rand, Mr.. Percy
Winter as Ward Andrews, Mr. Charles
Stewart as Wilson, Miss Edith Walls as
Phyllis Howe, Mrs. Clara Lambert as
Martha Howe, and the other Orpheum
favorites will be seen in equally as good
parts. In picturesqueness the play will
necessarily be more than is usually called
for, owing to the plot being laid in the
White Mountains of rocky New Hamp-
shire-in fact, scenically it is a stupend-
Gus undertaking, but the patrons of the
Chestnut Street Theatre will find that the
expectations in every detail will be lived
up to, as they always are in Orpheum
presentations A coincidence in connect
ION with the presentation of this play is
the fact that in 1866, Mr.. Smyth, be-
came member of the stock company at
the Chestnut Street Theatre, in Philadel-
ph1a, then under the management of Col.
William E. Sim. There he was brought
into contact with the best sort of leeiti
mate actors, and his ambition was fred to
become one of them.

Henry b. Kemble.

Henry B. Kemble, a former resident of
this county, was buried in Millville, on
Tuesday, having died suddenly the pre-
yious Saturday evening.
Mr.. Kemble seemed in good health and
assisted in the planting of peach trees on
his farm Saturday morning and went about
his duties as usual throughout the day,
retiring apparently quite well. About II
O'Clock as a storm was raging, he was
attacked with acute indigestion and de-
spite all efforts of the physicians in attend
ance, passed away shortly after midnight.
Born and raised IN Burlington county,
Mr. Kemble, who was 66 years old, at one
time very creditably filled the unexpired
term of sheriff of this county when his
father passed away while in office.
Going to Millville in the '70's, he was
engaged by the Millville Manufacturing
Company to manage their store, and for
over thirty years had entire charge of that
business with its various departments,
always conducting 1t In a most satisfactory
manner to his employers and continually
raising and improving the standard of the
business.
He resigned few years ago and has,
since retiring, taken great interest In
his excellent farm on the Vineland pike,
where he spent part Of his time directing
the labors of his men, to make that prop
ertyone of which he was justly proud.
