NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT.

“Wintergreen Farm” the great rural play to be presented at the Ellis Theatre, Tuesday, Dec. 7, is a drama that appeals to the masses. It is a story that deals with plain people down East, a story of homefolks in old New England, and one of its chief charms lies in the that it reflects, in the most natural manner possible, the daily routine of life that more or less is the same East or West, North or South. The character® of the play are such as one may meet in any New England villag*?, and while Aunt Samantha, Obedias, Ebeneezer Stebbins, Bill Jones and Sally Topipkins are types of a locality, their counterparts exist the world over. The play tells a story of absorbing interest that holds the closest attention of an audience from the rise of the curtain on the first act, disclosing Bill Jones at his woodpile, to the final scene of the fourth and act, when Obedias is left musing in the big chimney corner of the farm-house.
