"WAY Down EAST" There are many
things to take into reckoning when account
ing for the tremendous vogue of SWAY
Down East which will be at the Belfast
Opera House Monday evening, Aug. Doth.
The simplicity and the directness of the
story appeal to everybody. The broad fun
of the inimitable "Hi Holler" and the com
edy of the other characters, the realism of
the various scenes, the wonderful simua-
ton of the blizzard, the strength of the
company and the power of the story itself
these things in some measure will tell
why SWAY Down East" fills the theatres
season after season. Added to this is the
fact that the cast is kept up to its original
high standard while the production is
made more elaborate each succeeding sea-
son.
