As had been confidently expected, "Way Down East" broke the record at the Grand opera house last evening. The great drama was greeted by the largest audience that the house ever contained. Every seat in the building was sold and late comers either paid §1 for a chair in the aisles or fought for standing room on the first floor or the gallery. Thenumbcrof paid admissions was 1,209, surpassing the record made on September 27, 1899, by "Morrison's Faust," by 101. Financially the at traction also broke the "Faust" high record, the total receipts for admission last evening reaching 9560.50. The management appreciate the re sponse made by the people of Freeland and vicinity to their efforts to give the town the best attractions that can be procured. Coming, as this play did, upon the eve of pay day at the mines hereabouts, and considering the fact that many play-goers have not received a pay since September, the showing made by Freeland is encouraging and ought to give the town a still higher standing in the dramatic world. The play itself gave general satisfac tion and seldom, if ever, did a better pleased audience leave the house. Mr. Brady has a corps of actors and actress es in "Way Down East" who possess ability and talent and act their parts in a most natural manner. Without excep tion, the players compose the best com pany that ever appeared on the local stage. Irma LaPiorre, as "Aifna," won the sympathy of the audience at the outset, and Henry L. Keane. as "David,'' was the hero of the evening. Scott Cooper, who as the "Colonel" in Ala bama, which opened the Grand in March, 1890, played "Square Uartlett" to perfection. The "Professor," "Hi Holler," the "Constable," and all the other characters were in competent hands. The scenic effects of the play were all that could bo desired. The snow storm scene was the most realistic that has been attempted here, and, although produced under unusual diflicultios last night, was successful enough to cause many a shiver in the parquet seats. t x x In being "Lost in Egypt," Ensign Carter, of the 11. 8. S. Olympic, finds himself in the presence of the Bphynx and the eternal pyramids of the land of the lotus flower. He also wins a bride in the act of being lost, and thereby de feats the, plans of a burly Egyptian leader. "Sammy Green," of the Bowery, is a humorous character and makes the people laugh at his constant witticisms. "Zuleka," the Queen of the Harem, is a beautiful young lady and does her part well. The scene aboard the flag ship "Olympic," in the last act, is very thrilling. The piece has lots of scenery and abounds with patriotic situations that win frequent and loud applause.— Camden, N.
