Mr.. Hall Caine gave, presumably, a very good
insight into the simple life and habits Of the
buppio VIM lNe On the Isle OF Man in
his story THE Manxman.' The author and
Mr.. Wilson Barrett, the actor, collaborated on a
dramatization of this story, and with IL Mr..
Barrett and his English company began their
engagement at the American Theatre last
night. The lines Of the story are close
ly followed in the arrangement OF the
play, except In matters Of minor interest and
where the stage Limitations have made changes
necessary. II "The Manxman" has lost any
thing In local color by dramatization, and 80 far
IS the purposes Of the story are concerned, the
play might as readily have had q New England
setting, II has gained in human interest.
The play tells first the story Of Pete, the sim
pie, uneducated man. who is deceived by the
woman he loves and mNrries and by his
friend. The first scene shows the farm yard
of the Manx Fairy Inn at sunset in
early summer. Peter OUTLAW, the hero, and
Phttp Christian, his friend. are introduced
to the audience. 1t Is apparent, perhaps,
from the way la which Mr.. T. w.
Percyval. who played the part Of Phtltp,
maze up his eyes that he is to be as
near an approach to n villain as the story will
permit. He is a scholar. and aspires to the

When he returns the. audience knows that

is ambitious, and refuses to marry the

Mr.. Barrett has already found a place In New
York as a wholesome actor OF good melodrama,
and his work last night will secure his
standing more firmly. He didn't rant. and

called before the curtain after the last act,
