never conceived one that went as
straight to the hearts as the one that
tells of the hardships. suffering and
final triumph of the simple French tar,
Edmond Dantes. In Charles Fetcher's
clever dramatization of the book every
opportunity is utilized to create genu-
Inc dramatic effct, consistently and
without letting the character appear TO
be more overdraWn than is necessary to
preserve the romantic air of the pictur-
esQue play.
The public has long ago settled its
opinion that it only desires to see one
American actor imperSonate the part OF
Edmond Dantes, and that actor is James
U'Neill. Elaborate descriptions of his
methods are almost supertluOuS. That
they are well nigh fautless mag be in
ferred from the fact that, with the ex-
ception of Joseph Jefferson, no other
American actor has ever succeeded in
holding one play before the public for
ten consecutive seasons, and appearing
Dver 5000 times in the same character
without missing single performance.
Wishing to demonstrate to the public
that. in spite of his unique record with
