Old Homestead revival draws warm La Crosse audience
A lively revival of The Old Homestead at the local theater delighted La Crosse patrons with a strong cast led by William Lawrence as Joshua Whitcomb. Charles Carter and Oscar Sidney gave solid rural character studies while the quartet and Swanzey band provided standout vocal and comic moments. Scenic realism and period detail enhanced the farm-house setting as memories of classic productions lingered.

CIVILIAN CLOTHES AT RIVIERA AND MAJESTIC
Review notes that Thomas Meighan stars in Civilian Clothes as a bungling butler in a Paris story, with strong emphasis on humor and social satire. The Riviera program features The Blood Barrier with Sylvia Breamer, Robart Gordon, and Louis Barry in a tense jealousy plot with attempted German dye formula theft. Majestic presents Humoresque starring Meighan and Hurst themes, while Casino screens Under Crimson Skies, a sea adventure led by Lime Lincoln with Harry Van Meter and Mabel Ballin. Enid Bennett stars in Hairping a domestic tale at the Bijou.
