DAVIS THEATRE .3o Easf,

"3s East" a Rachel Crothers three act comedy was presented at Davis theatre Thursday evening before a keenly. sympathetic audience s,Sthat laughed and worried and reached the point of teariness over the trials and troubles of. youth almost as actually as did the. leading figures in the spiendidiy chosen cast.
 The pay opened with a boarding house scene, n which with it's ciev- erly sketched in boarders of true-to- life types, a Very human love story begins to unfold. .'-
 Penelope Penn. the young Western girl who has come, East to make "a fortune singing in the big city to send "IOmnie and Charlie to college and to cure mother, meets by chance Gibbs, who is young, attractive, veal thy and very eligible. After a series Of complications produced by the gos sips or the boarding house clan, the play is the scene oF the coLciusaoiI Uf the misunderstanding which lends i'll low meeting. ..t.-
 The play was very successful, with good settings and atmosphere The ioVe story was sweet and warm and appealed to the audience by it's sin cerity and deep understanding of and sympathy with usual and chance oc- cupants of the "39 Blasts" of today.
 1t is the kind Of a play that people
 
 as expressed by the boarding house mistress that queer things do hap pen once in a while.'' The audience showed warm appreciation of the clever cast and there were curtain calls that brought out the entire con- pany.
 Thedora Warheld as Penelope Penn, the western girl with musical ambitions. and Sydney Blackmar as Napoleon Gibbs, who saves her from the pitfalls of the chorus carried the leads and were capitnlly cast, the former WinSomely innocent without being weak and the latter so- phisticated, tactful and sincere in his difficult love-making.
 The author showed some of her cleverest work in the character de- lineattons oS the boarding house group and these. were true to type in the company that played at the Davis Thursday night. Augusta Haviland did q fine piece of work as the board ing house keeper so scrupulously care- full of the character of "her people" :" and Marcia Harris was the aciduious old maid to perfection. Ixzxfe Evans thing of the MaIaprop= line, was well cast. John Thorn was good as- Tino- thy O'Brien, the practical young bus mess man, and Arthur Rowe WAS the scientific, though rattNr abstract young doctor. Donna Bartlett and Fannie Bradshaw, the shadow sisters, two minds with but a single thought and devoted to music, and Louis Alter as the Italian count completed the boarding house group. The second scene was in Central park where Robert HaZieton as a park policeman had a minor part but it was well talk en.
