The announcement that Henry Mil
Ter will present a new play ab the
Grand Opera House tonight is one OF
interest to theatre-goers. for at no
time within the past Ave years has any
player OF romantic roles visited this
city and given more complete satisfac-
tion than has this finished performer
OF Eric Temple in "Ieartsease" and
Sydney Carton In THE Only Way"
While Mr.. Miller's method OF present.
ing such romantic and sympathetic
roles has been entirely his own. and
therefore entitled to consideration for
originality. II has also been so noted
for It's refinement and artistic excel
lence that he has stood far above his
compeers in that line. darcy Of the
Guards the new play he offers here,
Is said to be somewhat different from
his former productions In that the
character he assumes gives him oppor-
tunity for charming high comedy work,
as woll as the more serious and stren-
uous phases In life. In fact II has been
spoken Of as of the carpet knight" or
der of men, a part as difficult TO portray
we'll upon the stage as In real life-a
soldier who, while capable OF daring
deeds when necessary, can also be y
gentleman at all times, and as ready
for a merry prank or graceful compli-
ment as for the mortal defiance or q
lugubrious self-sacrince. The scene
OF "DArcy OF the Guards" is laid in
Philadelphia at the time that city was
held by the British under Lord Corn
wallis. and the American army was en-
camped at Valley Forge Mr. Miller
produced this play some months ago,
during his last annual summer engage
ment at San Francisco. and It's success
was so positive that II was determined
to make Il the sole play OF his present
seasons work.
