He demonstrated this last night by his wonderfully vivid por trayal of the character of Sydney Car ton in "Tho Only Way," a dramatiza tion of Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities." Mr. Miller Is not a star who is the pro duct of a night. A man of undoubted talent, he labored lone and earnestly to achieve the position in tho stage world that is now his. In "Hearts case" he made an enduring name for himself and by occasional excursions Into tragedy showed that he was not a one-part actor. In "The Only Way" has come his greatest opportunity and how well he lias taken advantage of it the immense audience that packed the Lyceum last night, from orchestra pit to gallery, amply testified. Mr. Milter received tributes of applause that must have been gratifying to any actor. There aro those who criticize adversely Mr. Miller's mannerisms, and term it a sign of affectation a truly great actor would not employ. No actor has yet ilsen of individuality sufficiently strong to mark him as one apart from the herd who has not been followed by the same cry as witness a Booth, an Irving and U Jefferson. Lot those who care to hang objections on Mr. Miller's peculiarities of style say on, but they must admit when they dispassionately analyze the man and his work that seldom have they seen a more convincing portrayal of a character that does not readily respond to the actor's touch than Mr. Miller gave last night in Sydney Car ton. It was admirable. In presenting the wayward, talented Englishman he never struck a false note. He was al ways the man of truly noble heart, whose dlssloated habits robbed him of a high position in society and perhaps ot the lovo and peaceful home sur roundings his better nature cried out for. It was always Carton from the moment the curtain aiose and disclosed him in a dtunken stupor In his apart ments In London until he mounted the guillotine in Paris as the only way to save the life of Charles Darney, the betrothed of the woman he loved. The way he hold his audience was not tho least remarkable feature of the per formance. Mr. Miller has the magnet ism that gives an actor the power to move and swav an audience, a power the poor mummer all too frequently lacks. The play follows closely the lines of Dickens' story, Freeman Wills, who did the dramatizing, having made only a few minor changes. For the purposes of the drama It was deemed best to have Charles Darnev go to Paris Im mediately after he became betrothed to Lucie Manette, Instead of some years after their marriage. The woman who goes to the guillotine with Carton is Mlml, whom he rescued from depraved surroundings In Pails and took to .Eng land, where she became the servant of the Manettes, returning with them to Paris when they followed Darney there. Dickens has Carton go to death with a timid woman who was much im pressed by Carton's noble conduct in taking Darney's place on the guillotine. These changes were wrought to Im prove the heart interest. Mlml in an affecting scene telling Carton of ner love for him Just before they are called to meet the executioner. The drama tization has been carefully done and preserves all that is best in a dramatic way in Dickens' story. It was splen didly presented in the matter of scen ery, costumes and accessories. Tho company assisting Mr. Miller contains a number of good actors, those w ho attracted the most favorable com ment being old John H. Stoddart, who was seen In the role of Mr. Lorry, and Margaret Dale, the Lucie Manette of the cast. The court room scene in the third act was awful In Its suggestion of the bloodthirsty character of the people who ruled Paris in the days of the revolution. The Ottumwa Quartette. The Allentown Chronicle says ot the Ottumwa quartette, which will be seen at the Lyceum tonlsht: "A. large and highly pleased audience was present last night nt the Academy of Music to listen to the vocnlTsm of the Ottumwa quartette, of Chicago. A recital of this nature is apt to grow .tliesome by the time the programme is half through, but such was the ex cellence of the singing that there was not a wearisome moment In it. The quartette is composed of Edward Weeks, first tenor; B. B. Brock, second tenor; A. It. Wiley, baritone; and W. F. Muse, basso. The latter was par ticularly admirable. He is a funny man with a very funny walk,' and a voice that In some of its phases sounds like an organ's tone. One of their most enjoyable selections was a hymn, .simple as to melody, but sung with such exquisite tenderness and depth of feeling that tears glistened in the eyes of more than one. In fact, one of the characteristic features of their singing lay In its expression, meaning and sentiment. The recitations of Miss Klelnman weio also highly enjoyuble." "Xing of the Opium Ring." Th.j offering nt tho Academy of Music the last half of this week, mat inees Friday and Saturday, will be thi phenomenally successful Chinese American play, "Kin'; of the Opium " Want of Watchfulness . Makes the Thief. tt Many cases of poor health come from want of watchful ness. But if you keep your blood pure no thief can steal your health.

It Ik a sensational melodrama in the full sense of tho phrase. Xothln? is wanting in the way of incident or situation to arouse the audience to the limits of nervous excitement which begins with the striking picture in the iir3t act, show ing the Bay of San Francisco, the es cape of the smuggler's yacht, Halycon, with the revenue boat In pursuit, pour ing out a blaze of shot fiom a machine gun. It continues through the scenes rep resenting tho opium den, the represen tations in the Chinese quarter and tlv rescue of the heroine by the human tower of "Chinks." Several bright specialties are interspeised throughout the action of the play. A number ot real Chinese take part and there is a strong smell of Chinese Incense. Al. Reeves Company. High class minstrelsy, vaudeville and extravaganza are th" ingredients which make up the whole .of the Al. Reeves company, which begins an en gagement Monday at the Galety.whlch will last three dayp. At the head of this big organization Is Inez Mecusker, the famous American prima donna; Welch Bros., funnv Irish comedians, Richmond and Clements, producing a bright society travesty; Fannie Fern Thatcher, a most magnetic singer, and Celeste and Bayles, two comedians and Marvelous acrobatic dancers. Then there is everybody's favorite. At. Reecs, with a whole lot of new paro dies and sayings. In the new double first part will be found the Griffin sisters, the Espanola Male quartette, George Titchner and Larry Cheatham, comedians, who hav been successful both in Europe aud America, Tho minstrel and vaudeville portion of the show is followed by an elaborately produced extravaganza called "Admiral Dewey Dandy," a Philippine-American absurdity in two scenes, in which Robert Van Osten, a clever character, shares the honors with Miss Mecusker. THEY WANT THEIR PAY. Attorney C. H. Wcller. has filed with Controller Howell the claims of ex-Patrolmen Stephen Dyer and James J. Saul against the city for salary due them from the time of their removal by the mayor up to the time 'of this removal's confirmation by select coun cil. The claims amount to $188.87 each, or $377.74 In all. The controller will ask for nn opinion as to whether they should be paid or not from the city solicitor, end will present both the claims and the opinion to the auditing committee for that body's approval. As court has decided In favor of Dyer and Saul, and as councils have determined not to appeal the case, It would appear that there is no alter native but to pay the men. In case they are paid the salaries of Officers Hockenberr.y nnd Davles will bo with held for a similar period. At any rate tho city is Insured from) loss by the Indemnifying bonds fur nished tho controller by Wade Finn and John H. Fellows. .
