State Board ofoMedica1 Examiners has
the right to determine whether an
applicant for registration is reputa-
bic resident' physician and that it's de-
cision on this question cannot be

is of the greatest interest to the physi-

WAY DOWN EAST coM1Nc.

"Way Down East" possibly the
most successful of modern dramas be-
cause it has attracted wide attention,
not only in the theatrical world, but
from a class of people who as a rule
are not disposed to look with favor
upon the stage, is soon to have its in
itia1 production here. It is announced
at Rhode opera house for next Sunday,
April Is. This play from the pen OF
Lottie Blair Parker, aided by the deft
elaboration of Mr.. Jos. r. Grismer
has gone far toward elevating the tone
of the stage. First produced under
the direction of Mr.. William A. Brady
it remained for an entire season at the
Manhattan theatre, New York, and
then again at the Academy of Music
for 427 representations. It has been
visited by hundreds of C1ergymen, who
have not hesitated to chronicle the de-
light it afforded them in letters of the
highest COMMUNICATION. The play will
be given here with a great cast, ST.
perb scenery and mountings, all the
mechanical effects and appurtenances
so noticeable in the metropolitan pro-
duction. ''Way Down East" is a
strong presentation of moral truth, is a
pure, sweet story, full of home1y hu-
NOR, so strongly characteristic of New
England life. It is a safe prediction
to state that this play will be sure to
repeat the success here that has chron-
ic1ed it's presentation elsewhere.
