...said, however, before turning to particulars, that "Les Miserables" qualifies with "Don Juan" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" to a place in that small and select group of movies which have successfully recounted one of the classic themes of literature. In the first place, "Les Miserables" was produced in France with an entirely French cast so that we are spared the painful experience of seeing Hollywood blondes in the role of early nineteenth century Parisian beauties and handsome Anglo-Saxon heroes in the part of Latin apaches. In the second place, there is scarcely a flaw in the artistic...

Benson's company in 1901 at Brighton, England. In recent years he has been chiefly associated with classic roles; presenting one of the most widely known Hamlets in the U.

He has his own Manhattan theatre in which he presents revivals and occasional new plays in a gradually widening repertory. Last year...
