HENRY MILLER IN HAMLET.

Henry Miller will appear at the Opera

Shakespearc's "Hamlet" The announce.
ment of new Hamlet in the field is apt
to provoke remark, which will be qualified
by the makers knowledge of the actor
whois about to essay the role The char
acter is the supremest test Of ability in
one given to playing serious parts. and the
vcntpIeisfapt to be viewed as daring
one. But with an actor who has attained
tho position before the public now enjoyed
by Mr.. Miller, it will be received with re-
spectful interest. and judgment will be
reserved for good work can confidently
be expected from him. Those who remem-
bcr him recently in "Heartsense" will
readily admit that he possesses many
qualities which are necessary to success
full rendition of Hamlet" and therefore
an interesting presentation Of this best of
Shakespeares plays may be looked for.
Mr.. Miller. it is reported, has gon into
this production with the greatest of fervor
and has induced his manager, Charles
Frohman, to make most elaborate affair
OF it, 1t is many years since any manag-
er has yertured to elaborately stage a
ShAkespesian play for male star, and the
lovers Of the great Bard of Avon have
therefore frequently said that the same
liberal treatment for his works. rs wee
given to modern plays, would bring as
satisfactory results. TO leave nothing
undune which will make the production
attractive, Manager Frohman has provid-
ed carload of scenery and appointments
ana large and unusually compatent
company to aid Mr.. Miller in his first ap-
pearance as legitimate star. 1t isex-
pectod that, after a few performances
upor tho RI ad, the'entire production will

A GIRLS AGE.
Feminine Attractions Do Not En1
With the Teens.

With the Teens.
Habit still clings to the idea that girls
age is either her pride OF her shame, q,
thing for which she is to be incessantly
applauded Or which is to be softsned OF
and made as easy for her as possible, says
writer in Munsey's. The humorist pa
pers still represent the world as making
Jokes about Miss Elderleigh and Miss Pas
say; but, as n matter of fact, Miss Elder
leigh and Miss Passay do all the Joking
there is on the subject themselves. The
girl Of the period has no more reticenee,
about her years than she has about her ap-
petite, displaying both with humorous
frankness and having only scorn for the
old fashioned person who would shroud
her birth year in mystery.
"I'm 80, and If couldn't get the better
of that fact in peoples eyesI'd give up 90
ciety and take to boys clubs, said one
young woman. "Girls who flb bout their
age are practically acknowledging that
their only power is their youthfulness and
that there is nothing else In them. Well,
It's their fault if it's truel'
Sweet II is still the age of supreme
charm from the public standpoint, but az
individuals we know better A girl In
her teens is too 1mperfectly acquainted
with herself to be interesting, and by the
modern standards she must be interesting
even though she is beautiful. Her con-
versation is always concrete and generally
impersonal in spite of youthful egotism,
while the present ideals call for the alb
stract and the personal. Her vitality and
freshness can no longer counterbalancei
this lack, for there is not now such de-
cidcd contrast between her and her older
sister in this respect, A national influx
of common sense has granted the latter
new lease of youth and the disappearance
Of the tradition that one must be an old
maid because one does not marry has given
her rejuvenating freedom from RESPONSE
bility.
From 23 to 2s years. or some say from
25 to 30 are now the best years of girls
life, her climax of power, for she is then
gaining valuable mental ground without
serious outward loss. She has discovered
others and is beginning to discover her
self The first wild, restless vanity is over,
and yet the world still glitters with posi-
bilities She has not caught up with her
future, and things are still worth while.
