EAST LYNNE

The Walter Sanford Company of
players will present East Lynne" al
the Orpheum tonight As book and
play East Lynne" has had more read-
ers and hearers than probably any
other novel that was ever dramatized.
As a book it has been more widely read
than any English novel, its sales ex-
ceeding those of the novels of Dickens
and Thackeray. Its story has held the
interest of the masses for two or three
generations and is perennial The old
story of the wife who listens to the
temptings of the villain, is alas! a too
frequent picture. In Lady Isabel's
case in East Lynne" the punishment
is so severe that the sympathy Of. the
auditor is aroused, and when as a
final stroke, she returns to her hus-
bands home in disguise, to find him
remarked and her child, Willie. dying,
her punishment is felt by all to be Sc
we're. This version introduces Lanty o.
Moore the gardener as a comedy char
acter and contains several laughable
scenes between him and Joyce the wait
ing maid, supplemented by funny by
play from Miss Corney, Archibalds sis
ter. Miss Laura Wall will be the heroine
Lady Isabel, William Desmond will be
the Archibald Carlyle, Ethelle Earle
the Barbara Hare, Tommy Shearer the
Lanty OMoore, and Adelaide Smith
will play Joyce. This bill should fill
the house at every performance.
