As a rule the dramatization of popular books are disappointing. The furnish only the idea, mak ing necessary to take liberties that cause the characters to lose their, identity when presented jn dramatic form. True there are a-few notable exceptions but the cases are rare and rarer still are the books that find favor when taken from playc. The one pos sible exception is ' The Virgin ian," the plan being first pro duced shortly after the first edi tion of the book -was sold. Book and play alike posses a remantic charm And literary grace - that has placed them at the top of un quallined success. The play whiee 'has seldom been outside the large cities, is acknowledged to have no counterpart in its class, while the book is bought after and ' read with the same enthusiasm as when ' first in troduced, f Jones v and Crane s magnificent production of The Virginian" will be the attraction atjthe Opera Housed miWarren--ton on' Thursda, ; Oct. i5th. and that it will prove One of the real ly enjoyable offerings of the cur- l rant season goes withont saying.
