TALE OF TWO CITIES' ELABOR

"A Tale of Two Cities," by Charles
Dickena, Is the first of a serieB of eve i
nlngs with the world's greatest writ
ers, and the Peoples' Amusement com
pany has wisely selected to Inaugur
ate this new departure In motion pic
ture entertainments, with one of thi
best novels ever written by this great
'" "The Tale of Two Cities" is in three
reels and each reel being 1,000 feef ln
length, this one picture will make up
the show to the length of the program
usually run at the, Arcade theatre, at
which place this noted film . will be
first xhlbtted.
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.
International peace may . be
had for the asking if the people
of the United States will ask for
It now In this psychological mo
ment . It is so easy. If only the
senate would adopt this treaty
with Great Britain with a unani
mous votoet .Then we can no on
to other . countries. We have

tuuveuifui , tor . peace. . Why
ftboutd we nw bold back?
