The Old Homestead

There is not much to be said of The Old Homestead which comes to the Bradley theatre next Tuesday night,at this late date. The firm hold that this old play holds and has long held on the hearts.of large portion of the American theatre going public makes any extended eulogy needless, while any words of adverse criticism provid- ed there is anything in the play to be adversely criticised, would have little weight with those to whom the fa- miliar characters of the play have been lifelong friends.
 The Old Homestead is wonderful play in many respects. Comparing IL with the modern type of drama which is chiefly in faver at the present time, one is inclined to wonder how 1t Is that play of such simple theme, such quiet tone, such quaint and homely characte rization, could ever have kept pace with the spectacularism and novelty which the present stage so largely demands. But it is that very simplicity of theme that constitutes the plays chief charm, together with that quietness of action and those old and lovable characters. Old Joshua Whitcomp is as real to most people as 
 all the other figures in the play sound a certain human note that does one good to respond to. Everybody knows the story of The Old Homestead. It is primarily a series of pictures of New England life. manners and philosophy, but there is enough of plot to permit the logical development of that origi- nal idea. Joshua's search for his way ward son, who has drifted to New York city, and the manner in which he discovers him, miserable and frlend- less, in front of Grace Church, and carries him back to the old New Eng. land homestead, is the main narrative of the theme, which proceeds leisurely through the four acts of the play.
 The present production of the play probably would be a revelation to those who first witnessed it half cen tury ago. The art of stage craft has made rapid strides since then, and the rustic scenery of the Old Homestead and the picture of Grace Church in New York city probably would be a revelation indeed to many Of the by. gone friends. Then there is the double quartette of farm hands, who sing old melodies in stirring fashion, and Grace Church choir, which is sending forth song as Joshua meets his lost son.
 The acting, too, is probably of higher standard than ever before. Ed ward l.. Snader's picture of Joshua Whitcomb is one of the most entirely real charaete rizations of the present stage. The secret seems to be that MT. Snader loves the old character, and while he is on the stage he ceases to act the part, but instead lives it in ac- tuality. One cannot dissociate MT. Snader from the part which he so con- vincingly pOrtrays. Mrs. Maggie Breyer likewise creates complete H. fusion of Aunt Matilda. Her appear ance and her acting breathe the typi- cal New England atmosphere.
 The balance of what might truly be called an s'original company" as most of them have been playing their part for score or more years will be seen here. The famous double quarlette is the same as of yore, and their singing one of the special delights of the per formance. adv

Ancient Builders EciIpsed.

The pyramids of Egypt would not be the type of permanence they are were they exposed to the vicissitudes of the American climate. At the annual meeting of the Modern Historic Rec ords association 1t was stated that the ancients are eclipsed by the moderns in storing records:
 We have better methods; with ce ment and granite and steel we can build to last indefinitely. We are more careful than the architects of the mediaeval cathedrals in planting our foundations, and more skillfui than the Roman in constructing cur vaults and roofs. There is no reason why a building erected with proper care should not endure forever, acts of Providence aside. and shelter In. definitely whatever may be stored ID it7
