WAY DOWN EAST
ATTRACTS CROWD
Auditorium Filled at First Performance
of Griffith Masterpiece-Music
Is Feature.

About as many people as the Audito-
rum can accommodate gathered there
last evening to see the first local present
alton of ID. W. Gritfiths famous produc-
ton of Way Down East. 1t was certainly
some moving picture, as moving pictures
go, and so far as one was able TO judge il
adequately met the expectations of those
who have been waiting for a chance to
see it without having to buy a railroad
ticket in addition to a seat check What
Lottie Blair Parker's hardy old bucolic
one may think of the Griffith version of
play cannot alter the fact that it has
proven itself phenomenalIy. successful. In
deed. il is not impossible that the sordid
details which make up portions of the first
part have contributed in no small meas
ure to its popularity.
However that may be. it is n remark
able piece of work from a technical point
of view. and sticks much more closely to
the original story than most screen YER
SiOnS. And the much-heralded ice scene
possesses all the thrills that are claimed
for IT, Had George Washington realized
to what lengths movie actors were dcS-
tined to 20 in their efforts to produce ex-
citing situations il il safe to say that he
would have been heartily ashamed of his
famous crossing -the-Delaware stunt
by no means an incoasderablc factor
i'm the pictures success is the musical ac.
compartment played by big orchestra OF
skilled performers.
Way Down East is having its second
local performance this afternoon and will
be seen again iii the Auditorium tonight
and tomorrow afternoon and evening.
