‘'THE LITTLE HOMESTEAD.”
Theater goers will anxiously
await the coming of ‘ ‘The Little
Homestead” to the Newport
opera house on Thursday even
ing. The play introduces a hap
py little home in a New England
village, broken up through the
desire for revenge upon the
young husband. It tells of a
blind infatuation which leads the
wife to forget her vows and
depicts the sorrow and remorse
consequent. The ultimate tri
umph of right, though too late
to atone fully for the past,
points to a healthy moral. The
play, and company are among
the best on the road this season.
The author of “The Little Home
stead” is W. B. Patton, whose
play ‘‘The Minister’s Son” has
been an unequaled success.
