ATTRACTIONS At
THE Theatres
eREBEccA OF sUNNYBROOK FARM

"REbECCA OF SUNNY bkOOk FARM.
One Of the prcttiest plays Of the sea
son, or Of any season. in fact. is "Re-
becca OF Sunnybrook Farm" which will
be seen at the Playhouse for a three
days engagement beginning this even
ing with matinees on Tuesday and
Wednesday The play is based on the
Kate Douglas Wiggin "RebeccaD books,
with Mrs. Wiggin and Charlotte
Thompson collaborating in the drama
tization. II has been skilfully done,
carrying life in reality in every line
and word, and will be capably present
ed by an exceptionally fine company.
John W. Bratton, songwriter and mu-
sician, who formerly lived in Whining
ton before going TO New York where
he achieved many success, presents the
play and expects to attend some OF
the performances and TO renew acquain-
tances.
The story is too familiar to need de-
tailed mention. In brief, it deals with
the growth from girlhood to young wo-
manhood of rOmantically inclined
child from a poor family OF seven. who
is taken under the wing of two maiden
aunts for education and religious
training" The rrepressible spirit, OF
the girl. keeping its buoyancy through
all the rebuiTs of the Older
and sterner OF the aunts is the
theme OF the story, surrounded by girl
ish escapades of the hcroines and hall
dozen spritely playmates, by exhibi-
tions of the village narrowness and OF
village gossip, and by the sometimes
laughable, sometimes pathetic doings OF
country life in Maine. OF course, there
is love story, only budded when the
play ends, in which Rebecca, then sew
enteen and just graduated, and the sue
cessful Young man of thirty, whom she
called "Alr. Alladin' when she was a
child because he made SO many Won
deriul things happen, are the princi-
pals. The play runs smoothly through
four intensely interesting acts, to a nat
ural, entirely delightful conclusion.
