A RUSTIC MELO-DRAMA
"'Way Down East" Is Successfully
Presented In This CITY.

Those who had the good fortune to
see Miss Phoebe Davis in Way Down
East at the Colonial last evening
saw an excellent actress supported by
an excellent company.
The play itsef belongs, of course. TO
that class of rustic melo-drama whose
popularity has never been questioned
since the days of "0ld Jed Proutv''
and The Old Homestead. - 1t. has
all the conventionalities country vir.
tue versus city vice. a moral standing
cut like the handwriting on the wall,
a villain with his iDseparable air of
untold millions, the tunefnl berry
pickers who converge aud render Annie
Laurie with encores, TIE clog dancer,
the cold world represented by falling
snow and soft music at emotional
crises.
but there were two exceptions which
raised the performance from the ordi. I.
nary melodramatie level. First, Miss
Davis rs not the conventional heroine.
Instead OF defamation and exaggerat-
ed acting she presented simplicity
and naturalness. The part that might
easily have been namby pamby in its
meekness she succeeded in making
convincing, and she carried of the
third act with splendid burst Of in
dignation. Considering that Miss Davis
has played the part for period of
eight years, it is remarkable that she
can still lnfuse it with an emotional
quality on such strength and fresh.
ness.
One popularity of Miss Davis pro
nunciation, however, marred several
of her lines. Sometimes the opening
words Of sentence were heavily EN-
phasized regardless of the sense while
the rest trailed off into whisper and
was lost. But this was not sufficient
to hurt the general effect. The sec
ond exception was the admirable sup
port given by the other members of
the cast. Their work was of high
and even merit to a point that il is
difficult TO single out individuals for a
mention that all almost equally de
serve.
However, Mr.. Fisher characterize
tion OF Squire Bartlett was especially
good. Mr.. Ellwanger succeeded well
In the disagreeable part of villain,
and is TO be commended for proving
that melodramatic villain may ap.
pear without silk hat and yet play
the part. Miss Wood, as tie gossip,
and Mr.. Blanchard, as constable, sue.
ceeded In being funny without slap
stick methods, while AIR. Brennon as
hi Holler, acted up TO the name at
any rate, and won the enthusiastic
affection of the audience.
The snow storm in the third act was
the most realistic that ever drifted
TO footlights, and indeed the entire
performance was marked by a careful
attention TO details. 1t is to be hoped
that the welcome given Miss Davis
and her company last evening will be
enough TO bring them TO Annapo lis
again.

ARRowooD is GUILTY
Young. officer Who Deserted
The Navy to Lose
Commission.
ConnniSS sion,

Midshipman Milton w. Arrowood,
United States Navy, who recently de-
serted the service because in his opin-
ion mo Christian gentleman could re-
main an officer in the navy, ;" has been
found guilty of desertion by naval
court martial and sentenced to be dis
missed from the service.
This information is received by the
Navy Department. in a dispatch from
Rear Admiral A. S. Barker, command
ing the North Atlantic squadron. The
case of young Arrowood has excited
more than common interest in naval
circles and among the public gener-
ally. The accusations made by AFRO
wood and his father, who is clergy
man in North Carolina. that the inn
moral and dissolute lives led by naval
officers so disgusted the young mid
shipman that he deserted the obliga-
tions imposed by his commission as
an officer after the authorities had
refused to accept his resignation, led
TO storm of protest from the navy.
After being away from his ship-the
Kearsarge-for about six weeks, Mid
shipman Arrowood was arrested in
New York and sent to Guantanamo
for trial. While at the Naval Acad-
emy Midshipman Arrowood made a
good record. He was always regarded
as pious young man. He stood well
in his classes and gave promise OF
making an excellent officer.

Johns College.
In introducing his subject, Captain
Ross said he 1ouldn't very well take
the audience the full trip of 81, 600
miles IN an hour. so he would take
them out. and let them get back as best
they could. The first picture thrown
ppon the screeQ was one of the build
lngs at the Worlds Fair at st. Louis.
This trip Captain Ross took last sum
mer, and he got this IAGture just as
he was leaving st. Louis. Next he
showed the gateway TO the Garden of
the Gods. and a scene in the same
place and view of the Sea of Rocks,
just after he left San Francisco
They paid a shoot visit 60 Hawaii
and from there went to Japan. On
the eleventh day after leaving Hawaii

would be captured by the Spanish

A picture of the gateway of Sheba
Temple, one OF the most famous and
largest in Japan was thrown on the
screen. He couldn't get the whole
temple on single plate. it was SO
large, so he took the gateway. Gap
tain Ross explained the workings of
the large bell over there, one of
which, nearly the largest in the king
dom. is 10 feet high and one foot
thick. They are not rung like our
bells, by gong on the inside, but a
large battering ram on the outside of
the bell kiota is the most ia pa
nese" town in the country. To get
along at all here you have to get a
guide who understands English A
picture was next shown of the Inland
sea, "smooth as glass, dotted with
islands, so ,beatiuful we could hardly
tear ourselves away to go below to
our meals.
Captain Ross next went to Korea,
whose inhabitants, he says. are the
LATEST, most indi ferent and dirtiest
set of people TO be found the world
over. They have a very fertile land,
too. Fine rice fields are going co
waste because the people are too lazy
TO work them. A crowd of Koreans
will be lying in the road A vehicle
will come along and not even bother
ing to get mp and walk out of the way,
they will roll over TO the side of the
road, to roll back again when the
vehicle has passed.
ATheyanext went to Hong Kong and
thence to Manila on cattle steamer
Afer showing one or two scenes in
| the Philippines Captain Ross went
back TO China, where several scenes
