and this popular Theatre is crowded to the
doors at every performance. No better at
traction could have been secured tor the holt
days than this intensely interesting and real
! tsttc play of New England life. way Down
East is the most deeply impressive and enter
tanning of all the pastoral plays and owes its
interest of its story, its mtngling of true pathos
| With the most quaint and natural humor and
| the remarkable realism of the scenic product
ion which includes the most beautiful rural
/ landscapes ever laid on canvas and the most
terribly realistic snow storm, indeed verit-
able blizzard the sight of which sets people
