There is no other town in the north

Joseph r. Grismer's excellent elabor-
alton of Lottie Blair Parker's story,
Way Down East" which comes to
the Metropolitan tomorrow evening, is
one of the few plays that has q true
stamp OF lasting. popularity. 1t at
tracts the theater-goer and wins to
the theatre, hundreds upon hundreds
OF those who are rarely seen within
place OF theatrical amusement The
main theme Of Way Down East" is
tne, OIL told story OF a trusting woman,
who, being deceived by a mock mar.
rage, endeavors to rely upon her own
ability for support, and when all her
. trials seem to drag her down. she Ia
saved by the manliness Of a trne
( friend. Theistory is unfolded in the
picturesque surroundings of a New
England village that brings in all the
quaint and lovable characters which
gives such delightful local color to
this play.
The comedy is of the bright and
clean kind that refreshes as we'll as
amuses, and the realistic effects, not
+ ably the marvellous blizzard, are ex-
tremely ingenious and effective.

Still this is not important. The main
thing which interests the playgoing
public Is whether. the play is an inter-

emphatically enough answered by the
TACT that 1t has proved the most gem
uine dramatic success New York has
had In many seasons, and that while
