said to have waited ratehr patiently
for this play, WI it is remembered
that New York was treated TO 60 per

The play is deschfDed as a comedy
drama, with the most important Of
American municipal problems as its ma
terial, involved with an engaging love
story. TIE history Of the success Of
this play reads more like a novel rO-
nance than the record 90 a sage pro-
duCtiOn. The play was first acted in
Albany, October p. 1896. II was a mere
"break-in nothing more than a public
dress-rehearSal. Two performances were
given, afternoon and night. At the mat

a dramatic critic from the stage en-
which he. Miller. Yves performing. Ths
incident occurred recently in Pittsburg,
when Mr.. Miller, becoming iEcensed at
the action of part Of the audience IN
leaving the tleatcr during a scene of
the play, Interrupted the stage story,
stepped to the front and proceeded 10
denounce a critic of that city who had
taken occasion to condemn The Great
Divide" on the grounds of its alleged
immortality. Mr. Miller was evidently
very much agitated. The manager o:
the house rushed back 10 the stage, and
informed Mr.. Miller that the audience
had become alarmed by a fire in the
neighborhood, and was leaving TIE thea
ter on that account and not because OF
the play. Mr.. Miller later apologized
for his hasty words. but concluded by
again f1aying the critic and declaring
he would never again play in Pittsburg

OF that man" The critic devoted much
