THE OLD HOMESTEAD
PLEASING AS EVER
Denman Thompson's Delightful
New England Comedy Re-
tains Former Charms.

The Old Homestead is the same
success as of old. Appearing year after
year, the play has retained its hold
and there is no need to give ii any
modern embellishments. At the Colum-
bia last night a strong company was
seen in the old Denman Thompson pro-
duction.
Edward L. Snyder, in the role OF
Uncle Josh, and Mrs. Maggie Breyer,
as Aunt Matilda, headed a cast
which did justice to the old story so
often told. Their work, and that, of the
supporting cast, was so refreshing as to
bring new delights in a production
which was making its twenty-eighth
appearance here. The old quartet sang
the same old songs with the old time
vigor and brought laughs as of old.
The Old Homestead" seems destined
to last for years, If for no other reason
than to give US a reminder of day
when people enjoyed themselves with
plain, homely pleasures, and before
the fads and -yeneers of present day
life became the rule.
There are few communities left such
as that in which Uncle Josh and Aunt
Matilda were moving figures, as most
of them have succumbed to the influ-
ence of modern tendencies, but that the
picture The O'd Homestead" draws
is a pleasant one and one that continues
to make an appeal is attested by the
annual success scored by this pioneer
Of the stage.

airs just enough of the international
Spy variety of melodrama to afford
ullivan and Redding a vehicle. The
Ipporting company, which includes A
baron" an adventures and two or
/ free army officers, seems determined
tc make their parts serious, although
the audience is palpebly prepared for
extravaganza and burIesque.
The serious side of the company's 5
support throws Sullivan and Redding

ariety of acting known az comic re-

their values. On the whole, however,
