"Iudith Zaraine."

Liebler & Company have decided TO
make a Christmas week production OF the
long-deferred judith Zaraine." The
premiere of this drama by c. NJ. S. Nc
Lellan has been delayed from time TO
tine because the firm could not get two
players--a man and a woman-of sum
cient strength 10 carry the principal
parts. At one time. the actor consid-
cred by the managers the man for the
part would be found-but the ideal act
ress would be otherwise engaged; and
vice versa. Some time ago Miss Lena
Ashwell, the English emotional actress.
was put under contract by LjebIer &
Company TO play the part OF Judith, the
date OF the production being contingent
upon the finding OF the suitable male
star. The managers have now decided
to make the production with Wilton
Lackaye and Miss Ashwell as cO-stars.
Mr. Lackaye being their idea OF the man
most closely realizing the authors con-
ception. A starring tour in The Bat
tie" has prevented the contamination OF
this plan until now.

M1LLER'S FIRST NIGHT.
Describes His Feeling When He Put
Play Out an London


It is unique experience for famous
star TO face theater crowded with peo-
pie TO whom ne is absolutely unknown
and who are likely to judge his ability
as an actor by a play which they may or
may not like. Henry Miller, who will
face a Washington audience tomorrow
night in the first performance of a new
play. which he has been rehearsing here
all week, had such an experience a year
ago when he took THE Great Divide
to London for its English premiere. He
gives an exceedingly interesting account
of that first night
I had been warned MIR. Miller said.
ito have an eye for trouble. Several
presumably competent authorities told me
that the audience would not like. my play,
and that IL they did not like ii they
would express their feelings by a storm
Of 'boos' which would effectually inter
rupt the performance. On the day pre-
ceding the opening a very dear friend OF
mine, who was returning to America
next day, babe me farewell IN a most
mournful manner I do hope they viii
/ like the play she said. and her manner
| indicated very clearly how confident she
felt that they would not.
Under the circumstances. II Is not sur
/ prising that l went on the stage that
night looking for trouble. had my jaws
| set, and was mentally, almost physi-
cally, braeed 10 meet the expected at
mosphere of hostility. Before l spoke my
| first line l took a careful look at the
people out in front and l am sure that
l was scowling.
And then l received the biggest sur
prise OF my life. The people out in front
showed smiling faces and an interested
manner. Every point in the play was
received with that little ripple of ap-
pToval or understanding that one notices.
in Washington audience, for example.
From the first mQnent l realized that
they liked the play and the company. and.
indeed. the applause at the end of the
second act amounted 10 an ovation.
You would think naturally that this
friendly attitude treasured me and put
me at my ease 1t had almost an oppo-
site effect l had come 10 believe the
stories about the barbarity OF London
first-nighters and was so thoroughly pre-
pared for trouble that the reaction upset
me completely My nerve centers gave
out more vibrations during the first TWEEN
- minutes after my appearance on the
stage than during any other period in my
life. Positively, it was quite as much as
/ could do to 90 through the play as
we'll as usual, and / am certain that
would have given a much better per-
Torrance if the audience had proved hos
tile. instead OF showing itself as friendly
and cordial as though il We're made up
of personal acquaintance from the United
States"
The ordeal undoubtedly profed more
trying for Mr. Miller that night than it
would have been for almost any other
American star. He was born in London
and his appearance in the Hagish
premiere Of The Great Divide" was his
first return to his native city.
