Fine Character Sketches.
There are many bits of excel
lent character drawing in ‘The
Shepherd of the Hills”, the dra
matization of Harold Bell
Wright’s most widely read novel,
which comes to the opera house
for its first annual engagement
Thursday night, November 5.
It is a beautiful play filled with
tears, and laughter, one cannot
help laughing or crying by turns
if his heart is right. The peo
ple that move within it are so
human that the auditor will pick
them out for like and dislike as
if he had really known them in
flesh, rather than on the boards
of the stage.
