Bradley Theater

Lottie Blair Parker's famous play of New England life "Way Down East" comes to the Bradley Theatre on Tues day night next. At no time in it's long career has the success of the ia. nous play been more pronounced or its popularity more mphaticaiiy IT, lustrated than at the present. The one triumphant thing about this New En- gland idyl is its realism. It is leaf from,the book of nature. The char aeters in it are distinctive types. There is d reality about the scenes, the dia- logue, the personalities and the en- vironment that appeals 10 all. Even the most inveterate theatregoer is in- eVitably impressed with the truth of the pictures presented. To many the coming of the play is an event. They see possibly two or three plays year. They choose the best, and having seen Way Down East they know what they will see when Il returns. How many times have thousands gone home and talked about the famous snowstorm, Anna Moore's love story, DaVidis maniiness, the forgetful pro- lessor, "Hi Holer' and his "Pickings from Puck, the village gossip and all the other well remembered characters.
 in announcing the famous play this season, the management can safely say that never in it's history has il had better presentation. The cast is one of exceptional merit, headed by Will liam Lawrence, who for the past 10 years followed Denman Thompson in uThe Old Homestead An entire new production as faithful as loyalty and art can make 1t is announced Prices 25c to s3 00.

Investigators have observed that the thermometer is not necessarily T sure indication Of the gulf stream; that the strongest current does not necessarily coincide with the highest temperature. The warmth of the water only indi- cates its tropical origin, and 1t may CT may not be accompanied by q cur rent. Thus the warmest water of Cape Hatteras is the result Of very gentle flow coming from the trade wind region outside the West Indies.
