AT THE WORCESTER THEATRE

cation makes itself felt on even the au-
dience who witnesses it.
The setting for this barn dance scene
is described as being most picturesque.
The picture shows a typical New Eng
land barn dressed in its holiday rig.
From the rafters hang decorations of
various kinds, including pumpkins
scooped out and cut to resemble faces
of boyle men, which are Illuminated
with candles All around can be seen
the various things essential to we'll
kept building of this sort, and through
an open door on the left can be dis
covered the stalls where the kline con-
tentedly chew their cuds as they listen
TO the strains from the violin, cornet
and hageolet players, seated near on a
platform made of old boxes and cam
opted with festoons of straw ropes,
with punches of onions and cobs of dry
ing corn. The whole picture is a de-
light to anybody who knows anything
about a. New England barn or a New
England barn party in the winter time.
When the dancing begins then indeed

THE WAY OF THE WORLD"

1.-THE Way of the World which will
be seen at the Worcester Theatre
Wednesday afternoon and evening, is
a story of life in New York's smart
set. Miss Elsie de Wolfe will make
her initial appearance here as a star
in the role of Beatrice Croydon, in
which she has made the hit of her
career in New York. John Mason,
whose name is sufficiently we'll known
to theatregoers of this city to be its
own Endorsement. will be seen as
George Croydon, the leading male role
in the play.
The scenery is one of a society flirta-
ton which pretty Mrs. Croydon is
carrying on with a man of the world
named Nevill. Croydon is running for
the governorship of New York, and
the scandal which is caused as a re-
suit of Mrs. Croydens indiscreet,
though harmless, Irritation comes near
to destroying his chances of election,
as we'll as wrecking the social position
of himself and his wife. Nevill tries
to induce Mrs. Croydon to elope with
him, and with the insult comes her
realization of the indiscreet game
which she has played in all innocence
A divorce is threatened, but averted
in time to save the situation. Croy-
den is elected and the play ends hap
PLY.
Act first shows q scene in Central
Park with the Croydens out for a
spin in their automobile. There is a
most effective moving panorama in
the background. Act second shows
the beautifully-furnished interior of
Mrs. Croyden's home in New York. In
act third many of the handsomest
gowns worn in the play are shown at
the musical party. The fourth act in
PRODUCES the sensational episode at the
christening, and the last act gives the
audience view of the illuminated
tower of Madison Square Garden on
the eve of election. Special property
men are required to care for the prop
critics used in the play. The furniture
is genuine old Sheriton and Louis XVI
and all Of the bric-a-brac used is
genuine also. Among the long list of
names in the cast are those of Mrs.
Clara Bloodgood, Miss Alison Skip
worth, Miss Jane Holly, Miss Frances
Duff, Miss Maude Thomas and Mrs.
A. Oakley Hall, Harrison Hunter,
Sydney Booth, Franklin Hurleigh,
Frank Andrews, Henry Stokes, Ralph
Theodore and Frederick Wallace.
