In the first act an outline oJ the history of the town, which is Grovers Corners, N. H., and some thing of the charactef of its citi zens, is given. The audience is car ried into the homes of the Gibbs and Webb families, and goes through an entire day with them. The second act concerns the love affair between young George Gibbs and little Emily Webb, and culminates in a moving wedding scene, which contains all those elements of poignant sorrow and abundant happiness that make for solemnity and impressiveness. Tnp. third act takes place in the cemetery on the hill, where many of the townspeople introduced previously, are patiently and smil ingly awaiting not “judgment” but greater understanding. Into their midst is led the bride, a little timird at first, a little wistful to go back to life, to live again with her mem- ■Ai'iec. But she is shown liow im possible, how futile it is to return. The past cannot be re-lived. Liv ing people, humans, occupied with their petty occupations and small thoughts, know little of true joy or happiness. Truth is to be found only in the future.
