and separated. He came to America and
in a few years became famous. In after
years she repented and came toe this
country to join him. but fate prevented
them from ever seeing or hearing of each
other again, though years were spent in
searching. He died last week at Clarks-
VILE, Tenn, in poverty. and on his death
bed made the request that some effort
be made to inform the sweetheart of his
youth of his death. She is thought to
be in America. The story. most affect

the opera house was vacant. AS carry
as > o'clock yesterday afternoon, Aaha-
ger Sutton had only two seats unsold.
When the performance CT way Down
East opened last night, many were
content to stand from a position close
to the door.
The story of Way Down East is
Lain and simply told. There is an OLD
farmer who has a son designed ny the
father to marry his cousin the young
people do not care for each other the
girl falling in love with butterfly
hunting professor, while the young man
is desperately smitten with mysterious
girl who strays into the family as a
servant, although it is quite obvious
she is of higher station in life. Later 1t
appears she has been deceived by
mock marriage. her betrayer being
rich young fellow, who is now trying to
marry the cousin. Just as the time
when the son declared his love. his
father goes away to follow up some ru-
mors relative to the girl his son loves.
Discovering their truthtulness, he re-
turns and drives her from the house.
This is the strong episode of the play.
All the characters of the story are upon
the scene, and when the stern old coun-
tryman orders the betrayed woman out
into the snow, his son declares he will
accompany her. Then comes the old
mans bitter denunciation of the girl. of
her admission of guilt and finally her
statement that the man who is respon
sible for her betrayal is an honored
guest in the house. AS she points him
out, his very manner betraying guilt,
all the other personages imDulsively
turn, beseeching her to remain. The
girls Indignation is great and she
lashes out into the snow, the son fol-
lowing the wronged woman, the love of
whom fills his heart.
OF course, the heroine has been far
more sinned against than SHINING. and
all the crinkles are so Strengthened out
that there is a happy ending. There
are many amusing scenes, in fact, the
play is full of homeiy humor. There is
some Notification, and in all it is
sterling drama of rusticity, bubblins
with sensation and showing humor
enough to stay sweet all the time.
Not to mention the many things in the
play which cause old timers in these
mountains to recall incidents Of their
childhood and live their lives over in
couple of hours, the village choir in
Way Down East is one of the strong
est features. dreaming the Happy
Hours Away''--one Of the sweetest mel
odies warbled from the throats of old
time minstrels-made one feel young
again. and when the choir, in response
to an encore, gave waiting for the
Wagon" the dream of youth for the
aid timer reached fulfllment.

series of circumstances that would not
do violence to the original The recep-

hoped to see her pictured, and the play
