The Story Of
EEMileSt0neS''

One of the most talked of plays of
generation, interpreted by a re-
markable company, will be seen here
on Saturday, October 81, when Mile
stones, the famous comedy by Arnold !
Bennett and Edward Knoblauch, is .
to be offered at the Vining Theatre. /
Something out of the ordinary was
expected when the brilliant essayist, |
Bennett, collaborated with the gifted !
dramatist, Knoblauch, the author of
Kismet, and something out of the
ordinary has been the result. Mile
stones ran over three years at the
Royalty Theatre in London and one
entire season at the Liberty Theatre
in New York.
Historically as we'll as dramatically
Milestones is of unusual interest, for
the three acts all take place in the
same room. the first in 1860, the sec
ond in 1885 and the third in 1912,
and as the play progresses the audi
ence witnesses marked changes in
dress. furniture and decorations, as
well as sentiments and manners. Sew
eral of the characters are carried
along by the same players through
youth. maturity and finally old age,
and the selection of the artists who
could do justice to such task has
been matter of infinite care on the
part of the management.
The story shows the life of two
families through three generations.
John Rhead, shipbuilder, defies his
partners family, dissolves partner
ship, and even risks losing his fiancee
because he will go in for building
ships of iron instead of wood. Twen-
ty-five years later the same John
Rhead, married, prosperous and
about to become baronet, opposes a
proposition to build ships of steel in
stead of iron, a project devised by
his daughters sweetheart, a brainy
young draughtsman. He prevents
his daughter marrying the choice OF
her heart and makes her wed pee
old enough to be her father. Another
generation passes, and the shipbuild
er baronet, now in his 77th year, and
on his golden wedding anniversary
endeavors to Illustrate the proposed
match between his granddaughter
and fine young engineer who see'
career for himself in the Canadian
far west.
This time Jne old Daronets efforts
are frustrated by his wife, whC
pleads for the girls happiness. Alst
the girls mother, now widow, meets
again the man who courted her in th'
early days who is now wealthy man
ufacturer as well as labor leade
and in parliament, and who happen
to be at the moment engaged in set
tling a strike In the old shipbuilder'
firm.
A cast Of exceptional merit ha
been secured to interpret this play
which will be presented here in tn
same artistic manner that character
lied the London and New York pro
duction. Et
Milestones is being played thi
year in England, Germany. Austria
Australia and even in Asia and Al
rica.
