ENTERTA INN ENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

HENRY MILLER IN HEARTSEASE.
Henry Miller will be at the Hyperion
on Tuesday evening, February IA, to
present his romantic play, "Heartsease"
which was so great success here last
season. Mr. Miller has been two years
before the public as a romantic star.
As this followed legitimately a long eX-,
pefience of years standing with the
best dramatic companies of the land, 1t
is not a surprising happening, and he
has proven himself a most consummate
stage director. 1t is a fact not known
to the general public, that not more
than half a dozen stars in both this
country and England are capable or
even attempt the direction of their own
productions Some capable man is en-
gagged for that work only, and the
star sees him evolve order out of chaos
at rehearsals. In England the list of
those whose ability allows them to claim
the entire credit of their own produce
lions may probably be limited to Henry
Irving, Wilson Barrett and Beerbohm
Tree. In America one would not be far
e. HI. Sothern and Henry
Miller in that category. Sale of seats
now OPEN Prices, 75c, 81 and $3.50.

The lower floor, which was occupied
by Mr.. Sears, was Quilted by the fire be-
fore the firemen arrived, but it did not
