COMING TO THE THEATRES
The National-"w.y Down East"


No better proof that the public mind is
against the prurient drama. and that the
public purse is open to the manager who
has the good sense to produce plays that
appeal to the best emotions OF the heart
rather than to the vulgar and material
side of nature, could be advanced than the
remarkable success of William A. Brady's
production of Way Down East" which
will be seen at the New National Thea
tire next week.
When the drama was first presented
there were wise ones who shook their
heads and said 1t would never succeed.
no matter how great it might be; that
the day of the rustic play had passed and
that the era of the play of problems had
taken it's place. But the wiseacres were
wrong. Way Down East" was marvel
Gus success. and has been growing In pop
ularity ever since. Now, with scenic
investiture rarely IL ever equaled. II is

Phoebe Davies will be seen in her orig
inal creation Of Anna, and Odell Will
liams will be the same Squire Bartlett

the others whose names are linked with
the play and who are Washington favor

there will be the village choir. the realis-
tic snow storm, the country dance, and
all the features Of the now famous New
York presentment. Many have wondered
at the marvellous vitality of Way Down
East" but the reason is or should be
clear. 1t tells a natural story of human
hearts in a straightforward comprehen-
sive manner. in most dramatic way and
with strong comedy element that is not
dragged in by the heels.

New Grnud-The Lafayette SNOW.
What is credited as being the finest yau-
deville road company in America, the
Great Lafayette Show, headed by the
American magician whose name forms the
title OF the company, viii appear at
Chases Theatre next week. Mr.. Chase
makes the emphatic claim that 1t COM
bines more comedy, more novelty, more
beauty, and more variety than all the
other similar organizations combined. The
Great Lafayette is said to surpass CHING
Ling Foo, the Chinese wizard, in perform
ing feats that are beyond the reach OF the
most acute imagination. In his perform
ance there is a bit of everything from
lightning changes to a travesty on Ching
Ling Foo said to be more marvellous, il
possible. than the performance Of the dis
tin2uished Chinaman himself. From n
square of cloth he produces n kettle of
burning and exploding fireworks, and then
