Lackaye's The Law and the Man Captures Hugo Classic
Columbia-Wilton Lackaye presents The Law and the Man a brisk melodrama-like treatment of Les Miserables. Lackaye keeps Jean Valjean center stage avoiding Hugo’s philosophical heft while delivering clear pathos and tension. Supporting turns from Himelton as Bishop Myriel and Jeffreys Lewis as Mme Thenardier heighten the dramatic effect with firm, precise execution. The production features notable incidental music and a well-received sympathetic finale by Lackaye.
