THE COLUMBIA.
The Old Homestead
Plays may come and plan may go, but
"The Old Homestead" goes n roreyor.
Season after season It has been welcomed,
and the present la no exception, for the
greeting given It at the Columbia. The
ater last night, left no doubt of the pleas
ure felt at the return of an old friend.
There Is a refreshing homeliness about
this play. One meets simple folks with
plain, unvarnished speech: the scenes are
such as are seen every day in the Ni
Hampshire hills, no problems -ex the
mind, no hothouse characters oppress the
atmoahere. The only lesson it pretends to
teach Is that which good old Joshua
Whltcomb brings out at the close, when
he cautions fathers not to be too severe
on a son who may have fallen under
temptation, and to remember that he may
haie inherited some of his fallings. Thus
with gentlest pathos and most Innocent
fun the action unravels Itself before the
spectator, who can sit back comfortably,
nor rack his brain as to what hidden
meaning may lie In this phra or that.
Edward L. Sander Is tho Joshua Whlt
comb. and he gives the character the
same homel grace which one was wont
to see In Denman Thompson s Impersona
tion In appearance and in speech, in
action and no less In repose, he Is al-
was the true tire of the shrewd, kindly.
wholesome New England farmer whose
highest ambition Is to so order his life
and the lives of those about him that
peace and contentment shall rule the
day Joshua's one great sorrow the son
who left home under a cloud to go to a

and all shares his joy when he finds his
lost one Mr Sander need not fear com
parison with his predecessor In this role

Mr. Sothern boasts no more eminently

gallant of the times, a figure splendidly

tones, now domineering as the lord
