GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Die value of the screen, when used for legitimate drama, may be appreciated in "The Only Way v for the last time tonight at the Grand Opera House. No stage ever created an atmosphere more deeply tragic than does, the filmed presentation of Dickens's immortal story of the triumph of a hopeless love in sacrifice during the _ mad, bloody days of the French Revolution. Sir John Martin Harvey, as the brilliant but drunken English lawyer, gives permanent life to a part he has always excelled in, while the horrid phantasmagoria of slaughter and hate in Paris is reproduced with a striking thrill. The acrobatic _ work o£ Miss Frances Scully's children is an excellent curtain-raiser on a great drama.
