pronounced that Manager Offner is con-

of our boating celebrities at the lake.
Such views would Of course create a fu-

ABOUT HENRY MILLER.


An actor who has always been identl-
fed with the best theatrical interests
will make his first appearance in this
city as a star this week This is Henry
Miller. Mr.. Miller is a handsome man
in the best sense of the term-strong
virile, graceful and youthful. He has for
many years been prominent among
those American actors known as mat
inee favorites, but fiattery and adula-
ton of this kind has not, however,
spoiled him. He has worked hard In his
profession with the evident purpose Of
reaching the distinctive position which
he has now attained. That he is an ac-
complished actor possessing a rare de-
gree of versatility cannot be gainsaid
His experience has been varied and
thorough. One Of his earliest engage
ments was with Adelaide Nelson when
that beautiful and gifted actress first
played in New York at Booths Theatre
His ability and personal graces quickly
attracted the attention Of metropolitan
managers. He subsequently became
identified with the Lyceum Theatre
Stock Company and distinguished him
self in 1.-The Wife" "The Charity Ball."
and other society drama successes, and
established himself substantially as one
Of the most favored juvenile actors on
the American stage. He next Joined
Chas. Frohman's forces and proved him
self most delightful comedy actor in
farcical comedy such as "All the Com
forts Of Home" and the like. The fol-
lowing season he jumped from comedy
to romantic drama and became the
leading man Of Marie Wainwright in
her magnificent production of "Kenil-
WORTH" playing the Earl of Leicester to
her Amy Robsart. The year following
he returned to Charles Frohman's man
agement again and became the leading
man of the Empire Theatre Stock Com
pany, In which he scored distinctive sue
cesses in Sowing the Wind" "The Mas
queraders," "Gudgeons," Bohemia"
and other of the most prominent theatre
cal successes of recent years. His pro-
motion to the distinction of star under
his old managers direction is exceeding
ly complimentary to him as showing the
value which his manager places upon his
ability. During his engagement with
Charles Frohman as leading man he had
an opportunity of demonstrating his
marked all-round ability and thorough
reliability as an actor in peculiar role
in a burleSque called Poet and Pup
pets" produced by Mr. Frohman at the
Garden Theatre. 1t was an effervescent
trifle, but Mr.. Miller, in the leading role,
danced and capered around the stage,
and even sang ditty, with the same de-
gree Of grace and earnestness which dis
tingushed him as The Earl of Leices-
ter in "Kenilworth,' or any of the other
romantic roles in which he has won re-
nown How many actors are there in
this country today who can furnish so
positive a proof of versatility?

A NEW CONCERT HALL.
ondricek-sohu String Quartet Will open
It for the steinerts, Feb. %.

A new concert hall will soon be
opened on Main street. 1t VIII be called
Steinert Hall, and it will be managed
by the enterprising piano house of that
name. 1t is situated on the top floor of
the Day building, and it may be reached
by commodious elevators from either
the Main street entrance or from the
Walnut street side, The hall is expected
to accommodate a tr.fle less than 500
and it VIII be far enough away from the
street to escape the unwelcone inter-
ruption of street noises.
The hall is quietly decorated and is
lighted by groups of electric lights that
are placed against the ceiling and high
enough up to prevent giving serious an
noyance to the eyes. The need of an
other concert sail, especially for re-
citals and chamber music, is obvious
and as the acoustic properties of the
Steinert Hall are said to be good, it will
very likely be in good demand.
Steinert Hall will be formally dedicated
Tuesday evening, Feb. %. with con-
cert by the Ondricek-Schulz String
Quartet of Boston, assisted by Mr.
Arthur ]. BasSett, pianist, of Worcester
The quartet is composed Of members Of
the Symphony Orchestra-Karel Ondri-
eek and Placido Fiumara, violins; Fritz
Zahn, viola; Leo Schulz, cello This is
tielI lllSl SedSOIl, sUul lilSy nave won
good notices from the press by their
Boston concerts. A striking novelty of
the concert win be the trio op. % by
Christian Sinding, which is very TAX
ing work and has never been heard
here. Mr.. Bassett will play the piano
part. 1t is not impossible that this con-
cert will be but the first Of a series of
similar entertainments, If the public
support warrants the venture. A rather
elaborate program was laid out early in
the season.
There was a fair attendance at the
Aeolian exhibition at the Steinert piano
wareroonls, Saturday afternoon The
following program was given: Overture,
'Stradela," Flotow; Sylvia ballet
