than he does in the mastery YER

novel, THE Tale of Two Cities,
which is offered at the Colonial

The popular and virile favorite
has the dual roles of Charles
Rarney and Sidney Carton, two
men who resemble each other in
feature but not in nature. Carton
finally sacrifices himself in order
that Charles Danney may be-
happy.
The production has hundreds of
stirring scenes, and is staged in
seven reels. One of the really
outstanding features is the ride of
Sidney Carton to La Guillotine.
A fine cast is in support of the
star. Jewel Carmen is a lovable
