For twenty-six years "The Old Homestead"
has been presented to the American public, and
in all that time it has steadily gained in popular
estimation. There is no doubt of its broad
humanity, its uplifting influence. It has no
pretentious plot, but rather a succession of
scenes, in which country life in New England
and city life in New York are contrasted, and in
which the old familiar story of Hope, Faith and
Charity is preached, with the inevitable associa-
tion of laughter and tears, humor and pathos,
sunshine and shadow.
POST CARD 17. (TRENTINE)
There is always a new generation to see this
hardy old perennial and to wonder, laugh at,
and admire its quaint representative characters
of an old, but none the less familiar school in
rural New England. The old generation feels
a particular enjoyment in renewing acquaintance
with, and the new generation delights to see
Joshua Whitcomb, the personification of all that
is good and kindly, lovable and generous; Cy
Prime and Seth Perkins, those two whimsical
"old boys;" Aunt 'Tilda, that sweet, even-
tempered spinster; Happy Jack, Rickety Ann,
and the Ganzey Boy, can you ever forget them?
It is not necessary that one should be born in
New England to thoroughly enjoy a visit to "The
Old Homestead." This homely old play and
its quaint rural characters have attracted the
same large and appreciative audiences all through
the North and South and West, as in the Eastern
States. It appeals with equal power to every
locality and to every individual.
