WEDNESDAY APG 6, Theatrical ~ "Way Down East." Reserved seats will be placed off Sale to-mongrow for the engagement of D. W_GQriffith's wonder gpectacle, "Way Down East," which will be seen for the first time in this city at the Grand Opera House for a st three days beginning Monday, April 11th. This picturizdtion of a famous play has been pronounced by sub- ual authorities the greatest work of this genius of the screen. The producer has combined drama, artis- tic motion photography, color and | humor, with a musical gmbeliishment that spells a genuine departure in | the art of the theatre. He has vivi- fied the people of-Lottie Blair's orig- inal play and brought them forth from the land of make-believe far niore charmingly than! they were | originally introduced. Mr. Griffith has also taken'a step forward in this Presentation by employing a new idea in color schemes, whereby he brings forth the richness of gowns and surroundings in scenes he .has builded to contrast the pastoral back- ground of the main story, He shifts kis audience from the country to town and back -again; gives them views of landscape splendor never be fore equalled on the screen and ends it all in & compelling series of snow storm and ice sceneg the like of which have until now remained unat- tempted. Players ever assembled for a screen production interpret the various roles of this remarkable production. Advt \ The "Maple eats." One of the most beautiful en- semble numbers in the "Maple Leafs" big musical comedy revue, "Canrouflage,'"" is the Colonial Ball, where all the boys are dressed as belles of 1860. This dainty num- ber dnd the big '"'rube'" song, 'Take Me Back to Bingville," where the boys all portray old men, gives am- ple evidence of their wide versatility and real histrionic ability. Although the boys of the "Maple Leafs" are all able bodied fighting men. each one having done a long stretch in the trenches prior to his having been ¢hosen by Capt. Plunkett to enter- tain his comrades _ overseas, their performance.of "Camouflage" is es- sentially, a 'girl show." Taking the original party as 2 nucleus for the present show, Capt.

Here are a few things about dress | which the average matron should { remember, says a clothes exper®: Long lines and soft draperies are becoming to her. The inclined-to-be-stout woman should avoid very short skirts, even if her ankles are slim. Dark dresses should always be re- lieved by a touch of ivoty-white or créam--the touch of white must be spotless. The woman who is getting on in yéars should remember that unless she has a particularly good skin and complexion she cannot wear unre- lieved dark colors successfully. They should always be brightened up by a touch of white or some bright color whieh is individually becoming, She will be wise, also, to shun short sleeves, whatever the fashion, as far as her day dress is concerned.
