MILDRED HOLLAND
Well Known Actress to Present her
Own Dramatlzation

Mildred Holland. the popular &C
tress widely known as one of the
most successful stars, and equally pro
minent as a producer and director of
many successful dramas, has turned
playwright, and on Friday evening
will present at the Bennington opera
house her dramatization of Charles
Dickens story, David Copperfield,"
perhaps the most widely read and
most universally popular of all the
works of this famous novelist.
The dramatization of Dickens is a
task that is nearly impossible to ach-
ieve successfully, but Miss Holland,
who is an ardent student of the great
English writer, skillfully avoided the
errors of her predecessors who at
tempted a stage version OF the same
story and in her play has given to
the public an interesting story in
which all the splendid types-those
unforgettable characters of the splen-
did story, are capitally and exultingly
set forth.
The play scored-a tremendous hit in
New York, where it proved to be the
big feature of Miss Hollands phen-
omenally successful engagement.
