sister OF Joshua Holbrook, one of the
sweetest and most lovable characters

all Swanzey as Aunt Rhody.'
~. PRIME had his flesh and blood
original, but since he was known
all over Cheshire County as the big
gest liar in them parts, as Uncle Josh
would say, perhaps his name were
best omitted. Though the other char
acters in the play had no actual in
dividual models as their bases, they
were r composite photograph of the
types which abounded in the COM
munity. They are not all dead yet,
after these thirty years.
1t Is more or less common knowl-
edge that the play was written in its
original form as a one-act sketch
while my father was suffering from
a severe attack of rheumatism That
was ii February of the year 1875,
while he was playing an engagement
in Harry Martins Varieties, in Pitts

hen having given my consent to
the filming of the play, my interest
IN the production grew rapidly as
the enthusiasm of the film men be-
came contagious Accordingly, I was
only too glad to offer to the producers
the facilities of the old home in

The Old Homestead" started upon
its celebrated career.
he Old Homestead in its final
version was written while the whole
Joshua Whitcomb' company was on
tour through Pennsylvania. in 1885
Ii was in April, 1880 that the second
play was presented to Boston at the
Boston Theatre. Strangely enough,
though the Hub City had not taken
kindly to Joshua Whitcomb when
that play was FIRST presented in its
expanded form, it was warm in its
praise of the new play, TO which it
never failed TO accord a cordial well

Turing its existence. the play cir
cled the globe three times, and in
the old Academy OF Music alone it
cleared 81 100000 in four years at pop

say that the proceeds OF that play
built the present Palace Theatre in
New York. AS for the number Of
times that it was presented, am
always reminded of the rejoinder

IT was some time before I could see
my way clear TO consent to the con-
yerting of THE Old Homestead IN
to q motion picture, as II seemed best
from sentimental and business rea-
sons to preserve its unique status as
. play 1t scarcely seems possible that
any play ever written could have quite
the same sentimental value to the
family Of the author as Denman
I hompson's has had for his heirs.
Particularly is this true in my own
case. as [ also had the pleasure OF ap-
pearing IN the production with him.
The very nature of the subject, its
association with the old home in
Swanzey and the fact that some OF the
characters depicted in it were actu-
ally prototypes of my fathers own
neighbors, makes the play much more
than a mere successful theatrical en-
terprise and gives it a truly hallowed
association. The present old home on
the New Hampshire farm was granted
10 the Thompson family as one Of the
sixty to whom the township Of Swan
zey was decided by the Massachusetts,
authorities in May. 1875, and though
my father was born near Girard, Pa,
he returned to the old family seat so
early in his life that he was essentially
2 New Hampshire youth. My grand
father, in whom the love OF old New
England was ever alive, despite the
fact that the paths Of opportunity
seemed to point to the then newer
country, never failed TO inculcate into
his boy the sturdy and old-fashoned
nobility of mind and heart that were
traditional among the people Of New
England

asked that question.
