Who hasn't laughed at the chanco humor of a country store? For off band wit and banter, it Is as good as a caucus meeting sometimes. Tho country store in Den man Thompson and George W. Ryer's Hardscrabble comedy, "Our New Minister." Is fun nier than the real thing, naturally. It's just like a country store, too, the scene, with Its long porch, three or four steps up. and the boots and tho onions and the leather and things hanicing right beside the ham. No attempt to show tho bargaining that sometimes goes on at the store is made by the authors, but they get 'their characters Into some Interesting land a musing talk on the porch. Taken 'altogether the store part of "Our New Minister.- which will be at the Acad emy Saturday matinee and night. Is a mort interesting part of tho play. Seats will go on sale tomorrow.
