Denman Thompson as Joshua Whitcomb. ca. 1890.
This delightful, early theatrical image advertises the Portland performance of Denman Thompson's four-act play, The Old Homestead. It premiered in Boston in April 1886; the play was performed across the country and debuted on Broadway in 1904. Based on Thompson's New England upbringing, the lead character travels to New York City to find his son who fled home after his reputation was destroyed; they eventually return home together. The play was a huge success, and Thompson continued to star in the production for over 25 years.
