The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-09-17

The most promising of dramatic sea-
sons opened in New York last Monday
night-a season which win abound in
novelties and interesting experiments.
The great activity in dramatic circles
this year is doubtless caused by last
years prosperity, and managers will be
more daring and lavish than ever. Four
new plays were produced in New York
during the week, and another notable
event was the opening of Days theatre
by Mr.. Daniel Frohman. Sothern, in
''The Musketeers,' was the opening at
traction, with Virginia Harmed as
"Miladi." The first new production of
the week was THE Tyranny of Tears, I"
by John Drew at the Empire theatre.
This was a great success in London
last season, and when seen there by Mr..
FTohman was thought by him to suit
Mr.. Drew exactly. The comedy is said
to be of the polished. refined order, and
contains but six characters, which are
played by Mr.. Drew, Miss Irving, Miss
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-09-17

The scenes of the piece are laid in
Amsterdam in 1917 The New York
cast includes Grace Filkins, Joseph Ha-
worth, Sidney Herbert and Mrs. Mckee
Rankin
By no means least in promise was the
last production of the week, which oc-
CURED last night at the Herald Square
theatre. This was Henry Miller's open
ing in play adapted from Dickens
Tale of Two Cities" entitled The
Only Way" This most dramatic story
would seem to lend itself admirably for
stage purposes, and this is not the first
time it has been presented in such
shape. Some time ago a decentralization
of the story was produced, called "All
For Her." and last year the version
used by Mr.. Miller was produced at
the Lyceum theatre in London by
young actor named Harvey, who there
by became the talk of London, in spite
of prophesied failure. The trial of
Charles Darnay forms the climax of the
play, and it closes with the execution
of Carton, who dies for his friend. AS
may be expected, it has been necessary
to greatly condense the story and the
number of characters, thus giving aud
fences the very essence of the famous
story. Henry Miller plays the part
of Sidney Carton, George Irving Of
Maude Adams company is Darnay, Ed
ward J. Morgan plays a dual role of
Jean and Ernest de Fargo, J. H. Stod-
dard is seen as Mr.. Lorry; Margaret
Anglin-Mimi, Margaret Dale-Lucie,
and d. H. Larkins as DIR. Monette. The
play promises to surpass in interest
any yet produced by Mr.. Miller since
his debut as a star.
This particular period of the drama
has been called an era of dramati zed
novels, and a glance at the productions
of the last two years confirms this fact,
and also shows that the tendency to
obtain plays from successful stories is
increasing. One of the first of these
villes," which was produced few
years ago by Mrs. Fiske, and was
somewhat in the nature of forerunner
of the kind. Anthony Hopes novels
have furnished popular dramatic ina
terial ever since the production of THE
Prisoner of Zenda.y More recently he
has given us THE Adventures of Lady
Ursula" and "Phroso."
Great encouragement for the contin-
uance of this fad was received from the
success of THE Little Minister" two
seasons ago. and THE Christian" last
season. No less than two new drama
tizations We're seen last year of THE
Three Guardsmen, the first dramatiza-
ton of which, however, was not of re-
cent creation. So far this season,
Becky Sharp" and 1.-THE Only Way
have already been produced, with THE
Gadfy' to follow shortly. Children
of the Ghetto Zangwills novel, is an
other notable example of the same
class. 1.-THE Choir Invisible is to be
done this season by Henry Jewett, and
at the time when warm weather tenn
porarily closed dramatic interest last
season, much was said of the prospect
i've scenic production of ben Hur." 1t
certainly begins to look as, though the

Conquest. Arthur Byron, Harry Har-
wood and Frank Lamb.
An interesting event was the opening
of the Fifth avenue theatre by Minnie
Madden Fiske in Becky Sharp,
which is a dramatization of Thacker-
avs famous novel. The play was first
produced in Montreal with great sue
cess, and Becky is said to be the best
character Mrs. Fiske has assumed since
Tess of the D'Urbervilles." Rawdon
Crawley is played by Maurice Barry
more. All interested in the drama will
be anxious to hear how the play was
received in New York.
The Broadway theatre, under the new
management of Mr.. Jacob Lift, opened
Friday night with THE Ghetto,' the
new Jewish play by a Dutch play
wright, Herman Heyermans, jr. The
English version was made by Chester
Bailey Fernald of 1.-THE Cat and the
Cherub" fame. This play is now being
given in London by Mrs. Potter and
Mr. Bellew, and is great success on
the other side of the water.
