PALACE THEATRE FRIDAY' NIGHT, OCTOIJEIl 23. Denman Thompson's perennial drama of New England country life, Is a coming attraction hero. The play Is now in the 27th year of Its existence. "The Old Homestead," is a play that pleases all classea. When ministers of the gospel urgo their congregations to attend a theatrical performance and preach Its moral from the pulpit It rollows necessarily that the play Itself Is far above the average In point of merit, whole somcness, purity and truth. Yet, we are told, thnt is precisely what the ministers of the gospel have been do ing and are doing in the case of "The Old Homestead." Not a night passes, we are assured, when the company Is on tour, that clergymen of all do nominations, protcstants and Catho ollcs, are not present, Interested and enthusiastic spectators and auditors of this grand old New England Idyll. Like the play ItBnlf the audiences are a study, an object lesson In the life of the community. All classes are rep resented in "The Old HomeHtead" audiences the banker, the lawyer, the merchant, tho plain mechanic and the plain farmer. To the young It Is a delightful and romantic Idyl, the youngest child In the audience enjoy ing Its humor. If not Its pathos, quite as much as the older generation. The original company under the persoual direction of Mr. Frank Thompson, will be seen here. Reserved seats now on sale at Mursters drug store.
