natural, but that all natural things are
not artistic. The charm of ''Way Down
East, " which is announced for three weeks
hon ct he
Street Theatre is due in a large measure
to the fact that it is both. The environ
nent, dialogue and incidents of the play
produced by William A. Brady are OF an
order familiar to every person who has
lived in the country. The characters in
Way Down East, have been drawn with
particular fidelity and excite interest and
command sympathy that renders their
every doing, every twist and turn of the
plot, absorbing to the spectator. The re-
suit is the prosperity which has attended
Mr.. Brady's production from the begin
ming. The company now engaged in the
Interpretation of the piece includes most
of the strong local favorites hitherto iden-
tilted with it.
