The Vltagraph ocmpany has been working on this series for half a year The production requires every star artist in their organization in the chief roks, and at least CO additional actors In the smaller parts'. The mobs require not less than 1,000 supers; . the scenery Is by far the most real iBtlc ever seen; the costuming Is selct. ed with most exacting care. The en tire photo play is on a greater scale of magnificence thnn ha ever before been attempted, and more than all, both the author and stage director have faithfully adhered to the story, 'as set down by Charles - Dickens. There is not a single foot of Aim wast ed; every bit means much, and the whole play ! enacted in a way that grips the mind. One cannot get away from the stronghold it has over the 6-enses; It appeals to all classes; it tells wonderfully and yet horribly, tha Injustice practiced in the name of lib erty while Prance trembled in the throws of the "Reign of Terror." . ; : The tale begins about the year 1753, in France, and in the most graphic aim reutiHiic manner' snows tne nos tllity of the nobility of France towards the poorer class, as well as their ex action In the way of taxation and their utter disregard of the conditions, the starvation that then prevailed in un- forunate France. s The Marquis d'- Evermond, utterly ignoring all thei rights of humanity, has cruelly killed a peasant, and because Dr. Manette, a learned and honorable physician, re fues to aid In the concealment of the crime, the medical mantis secretly Im prisoned In the bastlle, that sinkhole of royal iniquity. Meanwhile the doc tor's wife dies and a faithful servant, Lafarge, has taken Lucy, their daugh ter, who becomes a cherished ward of Tellson's bank in England. The girl grows up to beautiful womanhood and all innocently wins, nut does not re turn, the love of Sidney Carlton, a young English barrister of dissolute habits, but who, in reality posseses rare nobility of sould. : Tim rolls on, bringing In its train the French revolution and the "Reign of Terror.". For 19 long weary years Dr.' Manette has remained a secret prisoner in the bastlle. He, at length, secures his freedom, leaving behind, however, In his cell, a history of his imprisonment, In which he calls down God's eternal vengertnc on the Mar quis d'Evermond and all his family even to the remotest generation. Af ter his release, Dr. Mapette Is taken to England and there together with his daughter, they live a life of hap piness. "" Charles Darney, a young son of the Marquis, has renounced his . title to nobility, and after giving his property for the benefit of the common people, has settled In England and falls inj love with Lucy, who, arter gently re fusing Sidney Carlton, marries ' the man of her choice. This refusal does not embitter Carlton, but has a tend ency to elevate his character so that thereafter he lives only that he may serve tne woman ne loves, wuu meor death if need there be. , s An old servant of the family, La farge, being in danger of losing his life, can only be saved by the return of Charles Darney to France. He, reaches Parts at a time when the peo ple are frenzied with a taste of un bridled license and liberty; they seize him, and after a mere mockery ofxa trial, Darney is condemned to. the guillotine, merely because in his veins flows royal blood. Sidney Carlton, after learning of Darney's and th mistory which will be entailed upon the woman he wor ships, goes to Paris, bribes the prison keepers, and succeeds in substituting himself for Charles Darney with the terrible consequence that be goes to execution in order that Lucy may be nanny with her husband. . ft PEACE CAN BE HAD.
