GARRICK—“Way Down Eest.” Although a screen presentation of a play, especially one which assumes the proportions of Mr. Griffith’s ver- ston of “Way Down East" is apt to spoil in a way future attempts to por- tray it on the legitimate stage, the Garrick players, presenting the spoken version of “Way Down East” last night at the Shubert-Garrick Theater provided an _agreeable exception. Throughout the play, which never seems to grow stale in 1ts message, the actors were enthusiastically ap- plauded. by a large audience. While the cast was unusally strong throughout, the acting of Robert Brister, as David Bartlett, and Miss Florence Evelyn Martin, as Anna Moore, was particularly commendable. Mr. Brister, it is believed, interpreted the character of David in a manner of his own choosing. The boy is not generally believed to have been 8o affected by his love of Anna as to make him rival Hamlet in his sad- ness. John Kline, who carries the ditficult part of the stern. unrelenting and puritanical Squire Bartlett, dig- plays a. rare talent for emotionalism in his acting, while Douglass Dum- trille makes a pleasing though con- ventional villain. Others who are to be commended for their acting are Miss Leah Winslow, as the village gossip; Addison Smith, as the “bugologist” professor: J. Ar- thur Young, as Seth Holcomb; Con- stance Hope, as the Squire's niece, and Hardie Meakin, as the chore boy. Jay Strong, in the opinion of the writer, misses an opportunity as the village physician, Dr. Wiggins. The doctor, as portrayed by him, resem- bles no country physician “down east” or even the characteristics of this noted character as commonly ac- cepted. One of the pleasing parts of the performance last night was the pres- entation of local talent which took place in the second act, when the crowd of young foik on their way to the entertainment in town drop in on the squire and rehearse their parts. The incident was pleasing in that it had every appearance of a purely amateur performance, yet given with such enthusiasm and zest to be well done. Those who took part were: Zeke (the he Theda Bara), Jacob Schwartz; Sam (in a rut), Charles E. Wagner; Cynthia (from the village choir), Lena Bullard; Amella (stage struck), Florence Hulse: Samanthia (who rolls her eyes), Mildred Coving- ton; Abdigail (who hates all men), Marjorie Lee Oakley; Priscilla (the village fiddler), Margaret Crossen; Lizzy (A Toe Dancer), Margaret Yves; Angelina (the town cut up), Pauline Craft; Gwendolyn (the vil- lage vamp), Iola Swinnerton; Ger- aldine (who studies dramatics), Chris- tine Ivey; Little llsley (a dancer), and a charming one, by herself, and Maria (another dancer), Margaret Huse. B. F. KEITH'S—Florence Moore. Eliminating all but two numbers from Keith's program this weck—Florence Moore and Harry Deif—and there will still be amusement enough to pass away the evening in one continuous laugh. In other words, this pair alone is worth the price of admission. Miss Moore, who has been starring in bedroom farces with success, finds herself without an ‘engagement for & month or two, and, instead of hiking to the seashore or mountains for a rest, drifts back into vaudeville after the golden ducats, as she admits she is of the thrifty sort who know the value of money. In last night's offering Miss Moore was as clever an entertainer as When she first appeared in the two-a-day. Her songs are all new, and a close tab on her “talk" failed to discover a bon- mot that was not new. Her side remarks while singing brought forth almost con- tinuous laughter, and the thirty minutes she was-on the stage flitted by as though but five. Harry Delf's work, while along differ- ent lines, quickly stamped him as a comedian of originality, a falirly good singer and a dancer of the highest class. There is a total lack of vulgarity in his work. It is all just clever, clean comedy, and his success was equal to that of Miss Moore's. What a wonderful pair they would be working together!

COSMOS—Ann Suter. Patrons of the Cosmos Theater are expressing keen delight in what they used to know as “little Ann Suter, the child entertainer,” in the charming and talented young woman who made her first Washington appearance at the Cosmos Theater yesterday after- noon after her conquest of the big- time vaudeville audiences in New York. Miss Suter is a revelation to the folks of her old home town, and they did not fail to give expression to the fact in the continued ovations accorded her at yesterday's perform- ances. She has a repertoire of Songs. each sung in a different costume, all of them radiantly beautiful, and in each song she gives an illustration of a new phase of her varied talents Quaint and demure in “The Days of Auld Lang Syne,” she gets a bit more { confidential in “Goo Goo,” but her in- i quiry as to how you are going to get ithem on Broadway “Now That the { World's Gone Dry” outdoes the fa- mous Eva_Tanguay in her best days. i The Httle Washington girl has arrived jand with all her luggage. | The Filmas are clever in juggling iand wire work.

They arrogate iand affect ‘everything and have nothing. They cringe and toady to, and fawn upon, their superiors. And they satisfy their own empti- ness by trying to hu- miliate their inferiors. Snobs waste their lives trying to make the world believe they are something which they never can be. They are shams, braggarts, false pretenders. They are ir= ritating, but not danger- ous. Snubs are rebuffs con- ° temptuously given. They are the weapons of snobs. But a snob never resents a snub when he receives one. A snob's life is so miserable that he goes around trying to make others unhappy. The most severe punishment a snob can receive is to be ignored.
