Edwin A. Barron, the distinguished
dramatic critic Of the Chicago Inter
Ocean has This to say with regard te
Henry MilIsr's performances OF Tfolilot
Treherme, gentleman who lives by
his wits. in Gudgeons: "It is capital
Characterization, not so much for the
reason that It lie unique in dramatic art,
as for the nicely, care and thorough
consistency with which il is presented.
Mr.. Miller assumes the character and
makes it verify. 1t Is much the most
effective and artistic performance this
sstimabls and popular young actor has
given In our seeing. 1t quite deserves
to rank as one OF the best comedy crea-
tions OF which the stage OF our country
has been able to boast In recent years.
Never before has Mr.. Miller so COM
pIetely set aside his own personality
and entered so posssssIvely into the
impersonation of . part. We were
delighted with him, more particularly
for the fact that the part is widely
different from the class Of roles in which
Mr.. Miller is supposed to be most at
ease. If time permitted we should like
TO consider the performance in detail,
for it Is a study from first to last worthy
of careful consideration and generous
praise"
