THEATRES
••Way I town East” at C rev went
What is undoubtedly the finest
production with which the name of
David W. Griffith is associated Is hlt^i
"Way Down Kast.” made from the
BPo-e plav of the same name and
which will he shown beginning yes
t.nlay at the Credent theatre..
There will he the customary detail j
of incidental presentation with re
spect to decorations anil to music |
that aid In making a Griffith pro- I
ductlon distinctive, and in the cast |
will lie some members of the orig
Inal organization that was seen in
the play years ago. Of these liurr
McIntosh and Vivia Ogden will ae
;.t once recalled. The cast further- >
more includes Lillian Gish. Richard
Rarthelmess. Kate Bruce. Mary ,
Hay. Creighton Male. Kdgar Nelson.
Lowell Sherman. George Neville
ami Porter Strong. In addition
there are In the prologue Mrs. Mor
k in Belmont, a social leader in New
York: Josephine Bernard. Patricia
l-Yuen. Florence Short, Mrs David
Landau, Emily Fitzroy and Myrtle
Sulch.
• Wav Down East" was selected
bv Griffith, who was obliged to pay
a tremendous amount of money for
the rights, because of the great
heart interest of the tale. It Is the
story of Anna Moore, played by i
Miss Gish. Anna goes to her rich |
aunt in Boston to borrow some j
money there; at a ball, the girl ,
meets !.< nnox Sanderson, a young1
man about town. He asks her to ;
marry ritn. but he arranges for a |
mock marriage. After the birth of
her baby, which tortunately dies,
she goes into country to seek work. I
r’he is given something to do on the |
farm of "Squire Bartlett." where |
-he meets his son. David. When
the Squire learns, through a vil
lage gossip, of Anna's past, the poor
girl is turned out into a storm.
David defies his father and follows
Anna into the snowdrifts. There Is
a happy ending following the expo
sure of Sanderson.
Dorothy Dalton at Ditmas.
One of fhe best Paramount pic
tures in which Dorothy Dalton has
been seen ill many weeks is "Be
hind Masks.” which received a flat
tering reception at the Ditinas thea
ire yesterday. It is a delightful
story, filled with thrilling situations
and scenes that exert a powerful
appeal. The scenes of the story are
I lid In England and those w ho have
read E. Phillips Oppenheim's novel,
"Jeanne of the Marshes" of which
it is a plctnrizntion, will relish It
greatly.
For real old-fashioned melodra
matic thrills of the sort our fore
fathers used to experience in the
good old days of the nicllcr-drnma.
we can safely recommend William A.
Brady's picture production of "Eife.”
•
-----
released by Paramount, which was,
also shown at the Ditmas theatre
yesterday- That the photoplay I
caught on there can be little doubt. J
The story has genuine heart interest
and appeal and even the most blase
film fan watched the development of
plot with a fervor that was aston
ishing. The production as a whole
is a good one and the players enact
ing the various roles were with few
exceptions quite convincing. The
story in brief has to do with the con
viction of an innocent man of rmfr
der and of his exoneration by his
wife after many complications have
been overcome. The cast includes
among others such rapable players
as Jack Mower. Arline Pretty, J. H.
Gilmore, Nita Naldl and Rod La
Itocque. It's well worth seeing.
At the Majestic Trainy
Not many male stars can boast
of the wide and deep-seated exper
ience that has enabled O. P. Heggie
to cope with innumerable charac
terizations that have been thrust at
him by stony-hearted unfl exacting
producers, who since his New York
advent with Kllen Terry in 1J07.
have confidently given Mr. Ilefgle
roles that draw upon the deepest re
sources. That he is not a one-part
actor is amply atfestrd In the fol
lowing biography.
Mr. Heggie made his first signal
appearance with Kllen Terry in_1907
in "The Good Hope'' and “Nance
Oldfield" at the Umpire Theatre, un
der the direction of Charles Frolt
man. Later he played the lead in
"The New Sin,” the play by Mac
Donald Hastings which created un
usual discussion several years ago.
He served as stage director for
George Tvler when the latter was a
member of the Liebler firm. He play
ed I'rlah Jleep in the latter's pro
auction of "The Miffnway oi
about six years ago, . . j
Perhaps Mr. Heggle s most not- !
able performance up to now in "Pop _
was that of the title role of Bernard I
Shaw's "Androcles" which Cranvllle ■
Barker included in his list of Am- |
mcrican productions. He also play- .
ed in Barker's production of "The I
Man Who Married a Dumb Wife. ;
In London Mr. Hegpie was a mem- i
her of the original company which j
played Mr. Shaw's "Misalliance" and I
"The Doctor's Dilemma." He also
created the part of the tramp In
"Passers-By.” ty Hadden Chambers
He was associated with Sir James i
Barrie is staaging several of his one
act burlesques, and In oive of them
played opposite Ethel Levey, for-1
merly Mrs. George K. Cohan. "Pop” |
will be the attraction today at the l
Majestic theatre.
Big Hit at tlm Strand
Mark Twain's humor is largely
based upon incongruity and con
trast. "A Connecticut Yankee in l
King Arthur's Court,” of which the
special William Fox film version is j
at the Strand Theatre now, is cram- ;
med with examples. It is said to be
the funniest thing Twain ever wrote, i
yet it contains a carefully reasoned .
argument.
Mark never was at a loss for an
answer. One day he was telling a
group of friends about a wonderful
lake he had seen in Colorado.
"The water is so clear.” he said,
“that you could see a ten cent piece
on the'bottom at a depth or one hun.
dred fathoms.”
A stony silence followed. Mark
glanced around.
"Well.” he said. “I assure you
that If you threw a ten-dollar bill
into the lake it could plainly be
seen on the surface ”
