The guild_ production will be directed by rlavtd Owen , and will be presented on the regular guild schedule in the early weel~s of March. "The Old Homestead" is a play which seems to defy the canons of dramatic criticisms. Its plot, insofar as it has any, is as old as the hills. Its technique would be denounced by any dramatic critic as lacking, to say the least. It is a melodrama, and yet it has no villain and no love story. It is just the story of the old homestead and of a father who seeks his wayward son in the big city. It is the story of the prodigal son in modern guise. The costumes and songs of the nineties will prove a great attraction in themselves, and the knowledge that the guild production is a revival of an old masterpiece of our nat.ve drama will stimulate much interest in the play alone.
