which category if rested for year
after year with the theatergoer,
Griffith has made of 1t in reality
the drama of woman's soul, and
this while still not losing single
ounce of the drama, a single item of
the continuity On the contrary he
has enhansed the value of the pro-
duction. perpetuating it as one of the
most intensely human, the most
powerfully dramatic. most effec-
lively emotional documents the
great science of the cinema has ever
known.
Griffith s name means more per-
haps to the picture lover than any
director in the industry. He has
never failed in single instance to
score with emphatic vigor in any
production he has ever made, and
stsriving constantly for that perfec-
ton which permits of no evasion,
which combines accuracy, logic, pos
sibility. and reauty, he has through
his sincerity of purpose and his
maintenance of the highest of stan
dard. elevated himself to a sphere in
which he reigns without a rival.
''Way Down East" represents over
ten months III the making. It was
filmed in New England. on the most
picturesqt c locations, and the scenic
beauty and inspiring atmosphere
everywhere prevalent throughout
the entire feature will be instantly
recognized and highly appreciated
by everyone who witnesses the pro-
duction.
He plays upon the heart strings
with the skill of the master in the
deft touches, he scores With the art
of the geniI in the broad strokes
of vividness he reaches in the big
dramatic climaxes. He proves HIM
self a past master in realism in the
wonderful scene of the ice floe, the
break, anc the rescue at the falls.
And in the blizzard scene, it is safe
to say that never in the history of
motion pictures has such a sequence
before been filmed.
In his cast he speaks the last
word in excellence and ability.
Lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess,
Creighton Hale. Vivian Ogden, Por-
ter Strong, Edgar Nelson, Lowell
Sherman. Burr Mcintosh, and
score of others equally as celebrated
interpret the roles which have made
Way Down East the favorite of
everyone everywhere.
''Way Down East" has aroused no
end of attention locally and every in
dication points to capacity attend
ance. The management in calling
attention to the limited run of three
days is urging attendance during the
matinees. that all may be accommo-
dated.

Engine Room of Granite Plant Con-
siderably Damaged Satur-
day Afternoon.

The engine room OF the LeClair and
McNulty stoneshed was the scene of a
blaze Saturday afternoon which, had
il secured little better start, would
have raised havoc with a number of
granite plants in the vicinity of Black
well street
In response to general alarm,
sounded from box l3, the entire
strength OF the fire department, in
clnding both trucks and the hook and
ladder combination, were rushed to the
shed, which is just across the Black
well street bridge. When the fremen
arrived, the roof of the engine house
was belching forth smoke, with occa
sional bursts OF flame. indicating a
good fire within. Owing to the fact
that Mr. I,eClair was not in town at
the time of the fire the firemen found
ii necessary to break in doors and win
dows in order to reach the heart of
the fire. Well-trained streams made
short work of the blaze but not un-
til it had demolished the greater part
of the roof of the building. Besides
the roof and other small damage to
the walls, doors and windows, the dam
age TO the plant machinery was con-
siderable. One of the large and valu-
able compressor belts was badly burned
and rendered useless
An estimate Of the damage done the
building was placed by members Of the
firm this morning at over $1,000. Mr..
IeClair's interests are insured with
the McAllister and Kent, J. W. Dillon
and the @. H. Papc agencies Of this
city. 1t was about one half hour from
the time that the general call was put
in before two blasts on the alarm
sounded the all-out call.
The compressor room, in which the
fire occurred, is one of the smaller
connected with the shed and
II is in this building that the electric
heater for the shed is located. Elec-
tricians who viewed the results of the
FIRE claim that the blaze was started
