Tue HomeE-coMING OF “THE Ar- 
CADIANS.” 
Monday, April 24th, will usher in 
at the Colonial theatre, Boston, what 
may be termed the ‘“Home-coming of 
“The Arcadians’,” for that delightful 
musical comedy, which enjoyed a rec- 
ord engagement here early in the 
season, returns to us, for two weeks 
only, before continuing on a tour that 
has been one long ovation. 
“The Arcadians,’ which is un- 
questionably the most brilliant musi- 
cal comedy production that even so 
great a manager as Charles Frohman 
has offered, comes to us with several 
records to its credit. 
In the first place, “The Arcadians” 
has played continuously ever since it 
won the applause of public and critics 
in Philadelphia in November 1909. 
After a short engagement there, “The 
Arcadians,” with its wonderful com- 
pany of 100, went to New York and 
remained there for nearly a year be- 
fore coming to Boston for an engage- 
ment that will long be memorable for 
both artistic and financial success. 
From Boston “The Arcadians” went 
to Chicago for six weeks and then 
played one week visits to the princi- 
pal cities of the middle West and the 
East. 
“The Arcadians” returns to Boston 
with the additional record of having 
held together for so long a time a 
cast including Frank Moulan, Julia 
Sanderson, Percival Knight, Alan 
Mudie, Ethel Cadman, Harold Clem- 
ence, Mary Mackid, Lawrence Grant, 
and H. H. Meyer, and this cast has 
been further strengthened by Jose- 
phine Hall, one of the best known of 
American musical comedy artists. 
While “The Arcadians” comes here 
with all the favorites of the early 
season and all the songs which so 
quickly become famous, it will cele- 
brate its second Boston engagement 
by several new features of song and 
dance. 
Owing to the elaborate musical 
program the evening performances 
will begin promptly at 8 o’clock and 
the Wednesday and Saturday mat- 
inees at 2 o’clock. 
Horas STREET THEATRE. 
“Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm,” 
which proved to be one of the most 
popular of last season’s dramatic suc- 
cesses in Boston where it ran for nine 
weeks to crowded houses, is an- 
nounced for a return engagement of 
two weeks, commencing Monday, 
April 24th, at the Hollis Street The- 
atre. The entire original company 
and production returns to Boston di-

rect from a triumphant engagement 
of seven months at Belasco’s Repub- 
lic Theatre, New York. 
At the close of the Boston engage- 
ment the company and_ production 
will sail for London where it will ap- 
pear at the Criterion Theatre during 
the Coronation ceremonies. The 
play was selected for this honor by 
Sir Charles Wyndham, who wit- 
nessed the play last winter during its 
run in New York. 
The story transpires in a little vil- 
lage, amid the sunshine of the open 
air and in the shade of majestic trees, 
with beautiful fields stretching away 
in the vista. Rebecca, the heroine, 
only 13 years old, and a poor relation, 
arrives in the stage-coach to take up 
her abode with a crabbed old aunt. 
During the three acts her childish 
romping with four other children, 
and her occasional sorrows, due to 
the failure of her severe old guardian 
to understand child nature, make up 
the light and shade of the picture. 
In the last act, Rebecca, four years 
older, and just home from boarding 
school, is wooed and won in a most 
charming little scene by “Mr. Alad- 
din,’ whom the child had so named 
in her earlier years because of his 
‘penchant for doing kind things and 
helping her out of childish scrapes.
