LYRIC

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm the work of Kate Douglas Wiggin and Charlotte Thompson. and founded on the sR Rebbecap books of the former, is all ready for its presentation at the Lyric theatre by the Cecil Spooner Stock company beginning Monday night The play will be seen at the theatre every evening and on Tues day Wednesday,. Thursday and Sat- urdayz afternoons. The special mat inee "Wednesday is an innovation at the Lyric.
 Rebecca Of sunnybrook Farm is really a series of charming little in cidents fIlustrating the sweet trustful- ness of childhood and the good in huence Of young love upon old hearts. As a little sermon &on simplicity and purity the authors have won through bravefy with little Rebecca., who is Pippa in a Maine xillagesaf all, as their text. There is great deal of rEaL wit in the Hnesl a freshness in the character drawing that is grad- lying and some lines which creep into tEe heart because of their ten derness.
 It. fsE a simple story, sthe plot of the, play. Little Rebeceas is the child Of poor panents who have many off, spring and a prosperous mortgage. SO Bebecca is sent to live with two rather trying maiden aunts.
 One of the aalnts is so austere. that che drives the child away and she fees to old Cobb, the stage driver. in thunde erstorn. But the kindly old man makes her see the light and sends her back. Rebecca wants to help everyone so she sells soap to MT. Aladdin to get the Simpsons a piaslo lamp. and then she begs wedding ring for Mrs. Simpson who has all wayBsW wanted zone rather badly. This tells the story of the first three acts; in tt1a fourth we find Rebecca. stand :. ing on the vSrge of wo1nanhood and looking into the future with loving eyes,. Mr. Aladdin being the future which promises to wait for her. So you can =see the story is slender and the incidents must necessarily be m ost ss<i1fulIy handled and deVeIoped to hold the attention of the audience. This the authors have managed to do with fine effect and 6s d result aRe-. beeea of Sunnybrook Farm has been acclaimed one Of the real American 7lays of 6. generation.
