"Way Down East with it's pretty story
and quaint characters Of New England life
will be seen at the Belfast Opera House
Monday evening, Aug. Goth. The play has
become so well known through successive
performances that any reference to its
character seems almost superfuous. In the
parlance of theatrical folks, it is the best
repeater of any play of modern times. 1t
} returns year after year, and seems to in
: crease with every succeeding engagement.
The play has made several fortunes for
VIM. A. Brady and Jos. r. GrismeI and the
) end is not yet 1t is the sort that appeals to
all classes of theatre-goers. City bred folks
enjoy the characters and pictures they have
, known in other years; the rural folk are
: pleased with having their own people set
before them in the mimic world, while those
who frequent the gallery, find Just enough
of the melodramatic in the play to appeal to
their heroic natures. In consequence,
"Way Down East reaches the purses of all
classes, and there are few plays of which
the same can be said.
