established plays in generally good order, but
even an approach to novelty was to be dis
covered In only ono Broadway house. Clyde
Fitchs dainty bit OF comedy. Frederick Le-

fill out an evening. and that Henry Miller was
recruited into Charles Frohman's army OF
players; 80 these two occurrences combined to
provide fresh opportunity for Frederick
Lemaitre." This dramatlzation OF supposed
incident in the life OF the great French trape-
