actor and practical manager entertained "dia-
metrically opposite ideas the subject and cher
what I consider the only true possibility Of estab-
fishing a permanent theatre Of the highest and
best modern dramatic art
The time is ripe for the experiment" Mr. Miller
says, and adds that circumstances have fortu-
nateIy conspired Of late make it possible for
him attempt this venture OF a scale COM
mensurate with a preliminary operation and fair
test''-and that is TO be ''antasonistc' to the
New Theatre, but opposed TO ii as "a trial OF
the issue involved
Mr.. Miller purposes surrounding himself with a
varied repertory by school of modern draInatists.
He has in his possession number OF plays
by Percy Mackaye. William Vaughan Moody,
Ridgeley Terrence and Charles Ram Kennedy.
Several of the players have been engaged for the
new venture and the list announced includes Edith

Moore. The first representation will be The Ser
want in the House" by Mr. Kennedy.
'Of course. it is the public that will decide Mr..
Miller writes But whatever fate shall befaH this
conscentiOusly attempted enterprise II would seem
TO be the true way-and not by dilettante theatre
endowed by rich amateurs-to seek to encompass
the establishment of a regular company for the
enacting of high class drama and the encourage
