Henry Miller Tonight.

Henry Miller, who is favOrably
known here from his admirable per-
formanCcs Of "Heartsease" during the
past three years, and previously from
his years of connection with Charles
Frohman's Empire Theatre Stock COM
pany as its leading man, will be at
the Lyceum tonight, with an elaborate
production of Shakespeare's Hamlet"
and playing the title role. 1t is seldom
nowadays, that an actor ventures upon
a noteworthy presentation of any Of
Shakespeare's plays. Managers too
frequently trust to the talent of the
player to make the play attractive to
the public, and when it fails, as it gen.
orally does, abandon the enterprise
saying. The public does not want
Shakespeare" And vet they would
never think of following this plan with
the modern plays they offer.

were coasters. Two extraordinary
instances of longevity in ships may
be worth quoting here. In Febru-
AIRY, 1927 the Betsy Gains of Shields
sailed from that Dor. with a cargo to
Hamburg. She met with a heavy gale
from east southeast and bore up for
Shields harbOI. The sea was raging on
Tynemoutn bar; the ship struck, was
driven upon the rocks and lost. What
ship was this that was lost i'm the year
1927? Will it be believed that she was
the yacht that in 1858 brought over to
England william. Prince of Orange, and
that she was then called the Princess
Mary? This, at all events, was claimed
for her. How old was she when she car
ried the prince? For a number of years
afterward she was one of Queen Anne's
royal yachts, and was reckoned very
fast sailing vessel
The other instance is that of a vessel
called the Cognac Packet, which, as she
was afloat in 1886, may stll he trading
and in good health. | took note of her
in that wear, when she sailed from Sea-
ham harbor coal laden for Harwch in
command of Captain Button, and she
was then ninety-four years old, having
been built at BurlesdOn Hants, i'm 1892
She used to carry brandy to France, and
so they named her as above. She was
almost a box in shape.
