Way Down East" in every city where
it has played is that it has done turn
away" box office business.
From all reliable sources of inforna-
ton it is manifest that Griffith has
outdone himself in "Way Down East"
He has taken a simple story of a phase
of New England life that is all but too
swiftly passing from view and en-
ployed plain people with their quaint
characters and their rugged sense of
the honest and the human and unfold
ed a series of adventures and re-
straints which illunine the ever trou-
bled path of love. AS Mr.. Griffith
himself ,likes to put it, ''Way Down
East is a tale of love and lovers in
frame of such exquisite charm and
pastoral beauty the most captious of
critics have said many of its scenes
are worthy to hang in the best art
galleries of the world. Rising up
from its charm and it's humors in coll
orful contrasts it PUSHES to a climax
in the powerful ice jam and the break
ing up of the foe on the river which
combines every element Of stirring
drama and becomes at once the most
astounding and remarkable scene ever
seen within a playhouse in all times.
