THEY ai-e going to stage "Way
Down East" at The Grand in
Canton next week. Those having
the play in charge say "it will be done
right." • Having confidence in ;the ability of the present cast to stage anything from "Trilby" to "The Merry
Wives of Windsor," this writer is
EAGER to see "Way Down East."
And thereby hangs a tale-^not "A
Winter's Tale," be it understood—but
a tale of the days when he-was anything but EAGER to see; it,' and
merely did so the first time to keep
connected with his job bn. a daily
newspaper in Philadelphia, "Pa.-
''.'   .*     *     t
rE Chestnut Street Theatre was a
fashionable playhouse in the old
days, and such stars' as May
Robson and.William.H. Crane^ Fanny
Davenport, Theodore Roberts, Booth,
Barrett, Goodwin, .Mantell, and dozens
;of ■ others' displayed' their, histrionic
ability there. So it came as ia surprise
when'"Way .Down East" was booked
in September.
"Merely'a pastoral drama with no
place to go and glad of the opportunity to find a resting booth," said the
vrise ones when they heard that the
Chestnut Street Theatre had been selected as the house to "try it on- the
dog," a theatrical expression in those
days meaning to test out a play be
fore taking it to New York city.
"The Old Homestead" had made
such a. tremendous hit at the Union
Square theatre, New York, and had
run so long that many persons believed it could not be touched by any other
pastoral-drama, so in the Philadelphia
newspaper offices there were many inward groans when passes were handed out for "Way Down East."
...    t     t     t
THIS writer'had no intention of going to the Chestnut Street Theatre to see "Way Down East." He
agreed with the editor of the theatrical page that pastoral-dramas were
out of place in cities the sizeNjf Philadelphia and that their propel- habitat
of presentation whs jwhete the-.jofn
waVed in. long gre^en rovysj- '■• }': \\
Then somethihg'^happeriecl. A particular friend called this writer-aside,
and.asked him to take his-two tickets
and write a stick (about 18 lines) for
the paper the next day. This narrator
could not refuse for several reasons,
the chief one.being that he was1.his
friend's assistant on the news desk,
and news editors have a quiet way of
looking at you. [Years later when I
became news editor I refused to adopt
the "quiet way of looking," probably
^because I have, or did have, a heart.]
ON the way to see "Way Down East"
■-.' I met a politician. He said he was
disgusted with life. "Just the man
I am looking for. Come with me.
You'll forget all about your political
battles tonight.": He' said, with a worried look, "Sure you are up to standard physically?"  So in we went.
In the first act my friend the politician was ready to swear on a thousand Bibles that he knew personally
every one on the stage. And this
writer thought the same thing. That
play took the town by storm—a trite
expression—but a true one. People
flocked from all parts of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland
to see "Way Down East," and for
weeks the Chestnut Street Theatre
was packed every night and at each
matinee. It went to New York and became a "roar."  It. was a victory!
In closing this sketch of those days
it is only fair to my friend the politician, to say that he went home in
great gleg, and before he left the theatre he ordered two seats for the next
night, "and he saw it in all twelve
times. As for myself, I saw it
three times; a pretty good record fbr.
an active newspaper writer.

The mid-winter communion will be
held next Sunday one week, the 13th
of January. There are those who
think of taking up membership with.-
us at this communion season. Will
such nlease note the date? If by letter or otherwise they expect to come
into our ipembership they will have
to be in readiness by that time. Of
course we receive members at any
time, but the communion season is the
time when it is specially stressed.
Our next Sunday's appointments
will be regular. To all our services a
hearty welcome  is  extended.
The pastor discovered upon his return to his parish home from his
Christmas visit to New York that
some one had gotten in, and, instead
of carrying anything out, something
was,carried,in and,properly installed.
Evidently the "consistorv and members of his church wanted their pastor
to.be in touch with the world, for they;
put in place a fine Radiola.
The gift represents value, but most
of all it.is an.expression of- affection
and good will. As such, it is most-
highly prized. Thanks, many, many,
thanks to the kind donors. The pastor
hopes to be able to prove * himself
worthy pf such a token of appreciation. Mdy the good Lord richly bless
you all, and grant- you- a blessed and:
fruitful year.

"(hi the Stairs"'Is.a Great Play Most
.Ably Acted.
Since the holiday rush is over many
more persons are treating themselves
to a weekly visit to the Grand Theatre in Canton to again enjoy the clever
interpretations of the different plays
presented by the Grand Players, undoubtedly one of the best stock companies ever assembled.
The remainder of this week they are
presenting "On the Stairs," a recent
New York success.
Herbert Butterfield's role is that of
a Hindu swami of occult powers and
exquisite, manners, who makes it his
business to victimize a group of,trusting women, and -at the. same time he
heads the operations of a band of
jewel, thieves.
His performance :is complete. Lex
Lindsay and Edith Fisher have th*
romantic leads. Lex is quite a different lover in this play and shows that
he has versatility of a high order. He
.is agressive and goes after what he
wants with fire ancl vim.
The entire group give a production
that does their high professional
standing great credit.
Next, week the offering is "Way
Down East," a play that instantly won
the attention of the nation.

"One of the best annual meetings
we ever had" was the comment of
many after the annual congregational
meeting of Zion Lutheran church held
Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 1. The attendance was not as large as anticipated owing to the many cases of sick- .
ness in town and country, but the
spirit of unity and optimism which
prevailed made the meeting successful, indeed. The business session foi-,
lowed the New Year's day sen-ice and
fellowship dinner.
The treasurer, Walter Lauby, in his
report, stated that the congregation
had paid the Snyodical benevolence
quota in full and that the current expense budget had been balanced with,
a surplus in .the treasury.
The organ committee was instructed!
to secure all the information regarding a new pipe organ as soon as pos-"
siblc and to present the same to the
congregation at a called meeting. Rev.
Paul Rempe was ejected chairman of ,
this committee.
May Change Date

at the annual meeting, which the constitution provides shall be held on
New Year's day, it was proposed to
change the constitution so that future
annual meetings will be held-on the
first Sunday afternoon after the 15th
of January. This proposal, will be
voted on after the morning service,
January 20.     ' ;"    ,
