The Garrick Players presented the
spoken version of the rural dra-
matte classic, Way Down East" at
the hubert-Garrick theater last
night before an enthusiastic audi
ence that taxed the capacity of the
house. and won for themselves
round after round of deserved ap-
piause for their delightful inter.
probation of the characters in TIE
play OF Lottie Blair Parker, later
filmed for the screen by David Warx
Grifith. No stock production put
on by the Garrick Players SO far
this season has approached in
homely interest and we'll merited
interest the stellar Offering that
will continue to be the attraction
through the week, with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
The principal roles, those of Da-
vid Bartlett and Anna Moore, were
most satisfactorily portrayed bv
Robert Brister and Florence Eve
lyn Martin. In passing 1t might be
stated that this weeks bill is really
the first opportunity the Garrick
leading man and leading woman
have had to distinguish themselves,
and they acquitted themselves in
most satisfactory manner. John
Kline was the stern. puritanical
Squire Bartlett. with Shirley DeMu,
newcomer to the Garrick oreani-
zation. seen in the role Of his wife.
J. Arthur Young, as Seth Holcomb,
and Leah winslow as Martha. the
village gossip, carried Off the com-
edy honors. although Hardie Mea-
Kin as Hi Holler, and John Ravoid,
as Rube Whipple, the constable,
convulsed their auditors whenever
they occupied the stage. Douglass
Dumorflle was a slick villain a n
Constance Hope acquitted herseff
nicely In the role of Kate Brewster.
Addison Smith as the professor won
merited recognition.
AS an added feature of the SUI
perb production, the MANAGEMENT
introduced during the progress of
the second act Number Of excep-
tionally well done specialties. Thes.
included numbers by Miss Pauline
Marsaret Crossan. Peggy Ives. Lena
Gran. J. Arthur Young, Little Ilsey.
Bullard. Margaret 'Huss, and others
and concluded with an old -fashioned
barn dance that won thunderous ap-
plause
The Garrick production ot>"way
Down EAST was exceptionally we'll
staged. four pretentious settings
lending an attractive background
for the beautiful and much belo red
story. Unquestionably It was tn.
greatest effort of the Garrick Play-
ers since they inaugurated their
summer stock season four weeks
ago. and we'll deserving of crowd
ed houses during the remainder of
the enDa Oa~np%
