IT'S THE OLD
HOMESTEAD
TONIGHT
"The Old Homestead," the mas
terpiece of New England rural
dramas, is now in the twenty-fifth
season of its success. It is still
owned and controlled by the veteran
author-actor, Dertman Thompson,
though the old gantleman seldom ap
pears in the play nowadays. He Is 77
years old, and Is taking a much
needed rest these days in his splen
did summer home at West Swanzey,
New Hampshire. He takes a deep
Interest In "The Old Homestead,"
however, and the company never
starts out on a season's tour without
having been thoroughly rehearsed by
him. No 'one Interested in the thea
ter should miss seeing "The Old
Homestead" this season, for the play
will probably not last forever, and
time slips past with a whirr these
days, and the changes are great as
they are unexpected. And no one
who holds the theater as vile and
contaminating should miss seeing
"The Old Homestead," or they will
lose their chief argument of what
might have been. If you belong to
the first class, you say you have seen
It before, even twice before you may
bo sure you will enjoy it as much at
the third time; If you are of the sec
ond set, you say that you have heard
that originally "The Old Homestead"
was broad and unseemly, then all
more credit should fall to him who
has lifted It out of the mire and
cleansed and purified It. It is one of
the plays that can be recommended
to all sorts and conditions iof men,
and, while this advice is an old story,
It naturally follow in the wake of
this classic among heart-plays. "The
Old Homestead contains the beet
comedy, the purest homely sentiment
and the sweetest breath of natural
ness the stage knows. Grand opera
house, tonight.
Prices, $1.50, $1.00, 75c, 50c.
PILES CURED IX 6 TO 14 DAIS
