Two New Plays OF Interest to
New Workers.
HENRY MILLER IN A NOVEL ROLE.

New Play by Clyde Fitch.
HENRY MILLER IN A NOVEL ROLE.

New York, Feb. 2i.-Henry Miller has
made his second play Offering since his
parting with the Empire theater stock
company, of which he was the leading
man. practically from Its Inception up
to last season. His first stellar vehicle
was "Heartsease" by Charles Klein. At,
the original production the play was
not generally considered an overwhelm-
Ing success, and the author rewrote 1t
with view to accommodating the dla-
logue to the costumes of century or
two ago. In its new form the piece was
warmly praised, and the fact that 1t has
now been in measure shelved Is no
reflection upon its drawing power, which
is as great as ever.
1.-THE Master" its successor, which
Mr.. Miller is now presenting at the
Garden theater, is from the pen of j.
Stuart Ogilvie, a talented though
wealthy" Englishman, who attained
some prominence a few years ago as the
author of "Hypatia," with which Beer
bohm Tree was identified. The story
has the merit OF novelty. A success
full commercial man is the possessor OF
the remarkable theory that the methods
which he has found successful at his
office should be transplanted to his
home. In other words. he wishes to
rule absolutely every one with whom he

in Die Walkure" and has achieved n
notable success in role which is well
suited to her voice and temperament.
Frau Gadski, who is one of the most
reliable. sweet voiced sopranos on the
stage, has sung all her old roles in the
Wagner operas with her accustomed
intelligence and ability. kraus and
Rothmuhl have divided tenor honors in
the German operas, Ibos and Salignac In
those OF the French and Italian school.
while Bispham, one of the few Ameri-
cans to reach front rank in lyric roles,
has increased his reputation of past
seasons as Telramund and Wolfram
and made a new triumph as Wander
decken in 1.-THE Flying Dutchman."
Fischer. the greatest Hans Sachs liv-
ing, has celebrated his fortieth ami
versary In a performance of die Meis-
tersinger." In fact, in many ways the
season has been notable artistically.
and its financial success Is n subject for
congratulation with all lovers of music.
