THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE" NEW
DICKENS PLAY, AT WALLACK' S
Story Taken From David Copperfeld' by L. N.

and Well Acted--.English Players

sand The third act brought Ddpid's
house at Highgate, the office OF the 'umble
Uridh, the interior of an emigrant ship
lying or Dover and finally Hams cottage
at Yarmouth The last act passed in
Mss Betsvs garden.
Mr.. Parker peopled these scenes with
no less than thirty figures out OF the
novel. Most OF the roles were acted by
English players.
Mr.. Parker had done much more than
his modest announcement led the public
to expect. for he had made in at least two
acts or his play charming transfer of
the Dickens story 10 the stage. Much OF
the delightful qualities of quaintness and
/ poetry which he lmparts to his own PLAYS
were well preserved In his transfer OF the
! familiar fictlon to the stage Perhaps
there could be no greater compliment 10
| the playwright than the enjoyment OF
many spectators who quite obviously had
not the least acquaintance with Dickens
| or FOR that matter with any other author
earlier than our great George Conan. The
success OF at least the first two acts OF
