(€ “WAY DOWN EAST” IN ° MOVIES AT THE DAVIS An-audience of sevqral hundred were taken back to childhood days, the day of maple sugar, candy pulls, sleighing parties and barn dances when they wit- nessed the production of that old mas- terpiece of New England rural lits “Way Down East,” a simple story of plam New England felk, from the psa ¢f Lot- tie Blair Parker, shown in the movics at the Davis theatre on Sunday evening. D. ' W. Griffith, the producer of this per-preduction, has spared no expense giving to the public the true settings tc all the scenes of New England life. In fact all the outdoor scenes of farm Iif: the winter scenes, and the peacefil ¢ of the New England summers are taken in New England and manv of those present at Sunday night's perfermance easily resognized these scenes. The mammeth ~ dramatic scene, the rescue from the floating ice, is taken in Vermont near White River Junction and the summer scenes are taken near Farmington and many of the other x2enes are taken along the valley <f the Cen- necticut. The photography of the picturs is wen- derful and the effects that g3 with the picture are very realistic. The iz~ zard scene is a wonderful pleze cf winter photography as is the ice =cens. Tha cast is well .balanced ani avery mneiscn portrays his part with skill. Lilllan Gish as Anna Moore in this picture outdoes all other of her pictures. Richard Bar- thelmess, a former member of the Yale Dramatic club, now a prominent film star, plays opposite Miss Gish as Dax vid Bartlett and as usuul plays his relé with an. earnestness which lends charm to his portrayal. Others in the cast are Mrs. Morgan Belmont, soclety leader, Burr -McIntosh, Creighton Hale, Vivian Ogden. George Neville, Lowell Sherman and Mary Hay, all playing their parts to_perfection. ‘Without doubt this is one of the mest stupendous pictures from a standpoint of motion picture work that has ever beo? shown in this city. Every scene 's wofked out to the minutest detail and nothing is overlooked that will add to the affect desired. Accompanying the picture is a ten pleca o orchestra and the music playsd weaves into ”f picture with a charm that lenis much to the production. SUDDEN DEATH FOLLOWS .

Aiding “Miss Central.” After vou remove the telephone re- ceiver from the hook and ask central for a number, you will notice that ehe re- peats the number in a questioning voice, indicating that she expects an, answer from vou. Her repetition of the number in such a tone calls for an acknowledgement from you that ehe has correctly heard the number. With the subscriber cheerfully assuming his or her part of this effort Jor accuracy, an increase in the efficiency” of the service is sure to result. It is te avoid the possibility of error and the calling of the wrong number that central repeats, the number given to her as she hears it. The subscriber is expected to simply say ¥yes” when the operator questioning- Iy repeats the Aumber. That is, if she has the correct number. If not, the caller is expected to repeat the number desired. In this way the percentage of wrong number calls will- be reduced to a mini- mum. It is reasonable to expect that when subscribers know the purpose of this rule they will actord the operator the help & should be given to avoid needless wrong calls. So when central correetly repeats the number vou ask for, just say “yes" or “please,” or sompthing. Even a grunt of assent will do tfe trick. If she is wrong put her right. By adherence to this rule the service will be made surer and swifter. e Cherus Sang Selections From Gallia.
