| No attraction at the Barre opera
house this season has given greater
satisfaction to the people in general
than WAY Down East last night.
The play itself is fully the equal OF
the sold Homestead and many con-
slider it superior to that famous pro-
duction. 1t is an intensely laScinat-
ing and pathetic story that brings
tears to the eyes Of the most SYmpa-
thetic, and alternately proNokeS a
burst of laughter from the audience.
The company was excellent through
out. Especially fine was the acting OF
Miss Irma Laricrrc as Anna Moore.
One of the features Of the play was
the singing Of the Village Choir, who
were encored time after time. The
. scenery was magnificent and no better
scene has ever been introduced in Barre
than that of the snow storm, as repre-
sented in the third act.
