William A. Brady's Way Down
East" which will be seen for the first
time in this city at the Barre opera
house on Tuesday, Oct. 81 is sufficient
ly original. We find the same set Of
people who have figured in other New
England plays but their motives are
changed. The story Of the play is
simplicity itself. A young woman
who has been betrayed by means Of a
mock marriage finds refuge in the
house Of an honest New Hampshire
farmer. Her child is dead and 50 are
all her hopes in life. Netherless, She
wins at once the love Of the old
farmers only son. The latter is en-
engaged to be married to his cousin,
his fathers pet. Neither Of them
cares for the other and the unhappy
waif who has been taken into the fam
lily circle seems likely to find hus-
band and happiness in fact, until d
village busybody reveals her notified
past. Then the father with some JUS
LITIGATION sets his foot down and turns
the girl out of the house on winters
night. Before She goes, however, she
is able to denOunce the author Of her
wrongs, who happens to be counting
the very girl whom the old farmer is
intent upon marrying to his son. This
is the climax OF the play and as the
curtain falls We see the heroine going
out into the storm pursued by the
farmers son. The last act brings the
farmer to full realization of the Sit
uation, the unhappy girl is transform
ed into the heartily welcomed bride
to be of the farmer lad, and her be-
trayer is kicked out rather too politely
but none the less thoroughly. As a
whole the story is well told and the
third act is nationally developed and
the dramatic climax as strong as one
could ask for. 1t must be said that
the play aims for wholesomeness and
