THE Only Way" produced in New
York last week by Henry Miller and
his company, is said to be one of the
most effective dramatizations yet made
Of THE Tale of Two Cities 1t was
written from the book of Mr.. Freeman
Wills, and met with great success in
London, where it was first produced.
The great difficulty in making a play
of a book like THE Tale of Two Cities"
is to use only the parts essential to the
drama and to suppress many OF the
characters in a way that their omis-
sion will not damage the story. Dick
ems well known generosity in the num-
Der of his characters would make this
especially difficult. According. to re-
port, however, Mr.. Wills has been en-
tirely successful, and has given US in
THE Only Way one of the seasons
powerful dramas. The play opens with
a prologue in which the playwright de-
picts the incidents which lead up to the
tragedy-the duel between the Marquis
of st. Eoremonde and Jean. Defarge,
ending in the latters wretched death.
The first act shows Sydney Carton just
reused from drunken sleep after his
triumph in court In the second act,
Darnay, is identified as the missing
Eoremonde by Defarge, and after this
scene, the play is shifted to Paris,
showing the revolutionary tribunal, the
mob, the condemnation of Darnay, and
the final sacrifice of Carton, when he
takes Darnay's place on the guillotine.
The principal characters in the play,
besides Carton, Darnay and
Defarge. are DIR. Manette, Lucie Man
telle, Mr.. TORY and an introduced char
acteg of Mimi, a serving maid, which is
developed from the little seamstreSS of
the book. Henry Miller as Carton has
received nothing but praise for his
work, which is said to be the best of
Ills Carter. diSt 10 dlSO DC-
slowed upon Mr.. d. H. HarkinS as DR..
Manette, ]. H. Stoddart as TORY, Mr..
Edward ]. Morgan as Defarge and Mr..
Byron Douglas as Darnay. Miss Anglin
brought her refinement and art to the
portrayal of Mimi, the pathetic little
! creature who is hopelessly in love with
! Carton, and who eventually goes to the
guillotine in the same cart. The part
is one of the most lachrymose deserip-
f. ton, but Miss Anglin's admirers. need
no assurance that she plays it with adj
mirable discretion. Miss Margaret Dale
made a good impression in the part of
Lucie. Altogether the play is quite an
unusual sort for Henry Miller's COM
pany, which has become identified with
! dramas of the light society description.
1t is true, however, that some of these
have required a high standard of arts
1 tic merit, and their portrayal has
/ placed the organization among the very
/ best in the country.
