.iaof Helen" was seen for the first time
| in New York at the Savoy theater,
4 Monday night. The play offers Mr.
| Miller the best and most pleasing role
| he has had in his entire career. 1t
is that Of a breezy young American
| who says bright things and makes love
| in an ardent manner. Miller has been
identified chiefly with sombre though
I powerful dramatic productions, and
| though he has been praised for artistic
/ portrayals, he has felt for long time
! that the public preferred something
I in lighter vein. In THE Tanning of
Helen" Mr.. Miller has secured a high
| class society comedy, without sacrfic-
ing any of his artistic ideals. The story
is that of a young American who goes
| abroad to sell a play and win the girl
| he loves The girl in the case is head
strong and Willful, and fond of flirting
| with titled English gentlemen. She
| becomes jealous Of an actress who

| at leisure when she discovers that the
