HENRY MILLER AT LEXINGTON

Henry Miller will come to th Lex
ington Oprea House for one perfoIm-
ance only on Friday evening, Decem-
Der Is in H. S. Sheldon's famous play.
"The Havoc" supported by exactly
the same company that appeared with
him throughout 1.-The HavOc's" all
season run at the Bijou Theater in
New York last year. Mr.. Miller was
seen here just year ago in a farce
comedy, Her Husbands Wife.
This season he returns in the biggest
role he has ever played in, drama of
tremendous power and gripping sp-
peal. Neither his famous Sidney Car
| ton in "The Only Way" nor his Ste
phen Client in The Great Divide, ="
gave him the opportunity for big act
ing afforded by his new role of Richard
Craig, the wronged husband IN Ike
Havoc"
Some idea of Mr.. Miller's overwhel-
ming power in the play may be GATH
cred by the tributes paid to him by
critics both in the East and West.
"Mr. Miller" said Munsey's Maga.
zine, ''is superb in The Havoc. .

comm only W. iacted byIHenry Miller >

"It is the best thing Henry Miller ha
ever done." said the Philadelphia In
qulrer. "In The Havoc, said th'
Philadelphia Times. MIR. Miller touch
J es the zenith OF his career. "It is
lesson in big acting" said the New
York Telegraph, and the New Yorl
. Times said Henry Miller has don

HRISTMAS THE CHILD'S DAY
By Rev, Brandford Leavitt.

By Rev. Branoford IcaVitt.
 Christmas is the child's day in the Christian year, and how this weary and uneasy world needs tie chiid- like mind to save it from itself What is more subtly fitted to the needs of worn and dissipated world than the image of all that is alive and fresh and unstained? It is the child in men we look for and love-again today the child is the savior that answers smile with a smile, that responds to the confidence with confidence, ready to take you and me for what we would like to be and thus lifts us nearly to Onr ideal.

to your cheeks when you think of the few remarks that you heard the giver make about you at Laura's tea. Why do people do these things?
 Here's queer one. Lift up the box lid again. It's an old shoe box, but some loving hands have covered it with two paper napkins and--look at the contents, loaf of the finest Dutch cake you ever tasted. Dear Bridget never forgets you, does she? In her little four-roomed cottage where she's very happy and very busy, she always hakes the bread that you rel ish and sends her awkward husband up with her best wishes every Christmas day in the morning. What that cake means only you and she can tell.
 Let us look again at the little card falls on the colored church, with it's bright roof and another snlasbes on the snow that is piled with childish prodigalty at the roadside. A little boy has drawn that all for you. He calls you Dear One,' and once he told his mother that he felt sure that angels look like you, but she corrected him, as If child could be stopped in harm less wonderings, and he never again ventured along lines of comparison. Poor little boy! You know what that card means! It means day and days of work It means the gratitude of . crippled child who can't use a finger l without pain. And he has drawn this for you!
 Oh, my. isn't this funny! That clown of g Jack Is up to his tricks again. He has bought a book for 49 cents and has linked it with his foolish hand, add 1 ing, Reduced to $1OS" And to pile Ossa on Pelion, he has been addition ally frank in suggesting that it's tires bum.' That man can always get 8 smile from you
 There, you've dropped something! | Don't lose that. It's letter Are you going to read it again? Why, you know every word in it!
 Dearest 1t says, "I send you my ] heart, my soul. my life's best thoughts and actions. Will you keep them? Ah no need to tell you what stands behind the note. You know, don't you?

What riches lie in the palm of your hand as you look! No one can rob you of these. Every page means the door of 8 new treasure house. How good of dear father! wonder how he knew? He must have been listening when you and your chum had that ripping discussion of fa- vorites And you can't understand how he knew the color of your collection. An, we'll! Trust father.

 See how cleverly her fingers have 1 made three yards of cord look like much more The loops and buttons are handmade: they cost so much less, and you know mother hasn't bank ac- | count of her own. She has not cut down the rations, either. It's Just her great, generous heart that has accom- plished the seemingly impossible thing. The eyes are not so bright and blue as when she was the happy, laughing girl that dad first loved. But she sees just as far beneath the surface, and she knows how much you long for some things An, what world of sacrifice and love stands behind these gifts.
 Oh, my! Don't smile, but isn't this
 just like that great, blundering cub of Bob? He must have paid five or six r dollars for this Poor, misguided, stung
 brother! Now you can just see him
 sauntering into the "art (save the
 mark!) needlework" store. Do you see
 his airy nonchalance as he casts his
 eye over the pincushions arrayed in
 glistening, satiny lines? How much
 is this? And this? The latter being
 the more expensive, was quickly
 chosen Oh, what ever are you going
 to do with it? Bright pink satin, with
 suggestive bunch of bright forget-me-
 nots blooming out from beneath ruff
 fle of very cheap lace. You'll never
 forget it. You know-the kind of things you see at fairs. It may be the reason! Perhaps the fair is an in- stitution for helping hopeless pin cushions along an easy way.

 It was a poor woman, who had fallen just outside the city, too sick and tired to get ill where she might have found shelter. The soft snow made of drift sort of pillow for her and she would soon be so sound asleep, in the wintry air, that no one could ever waken her again. All this Pedro saw in a moment, and he knelt down beside hera and tried to rouse her, even tugging at her arm a little as though he would have tried to carry her away. He turned her face toward him, so that he could rub some snow on it. and when he had looked at her silently a moment he stood up and said:
 t'Its no use, Little Brother. You will nave to go on alone"
 "Alone?" cried Little Brother. "And you not see the Christmas festival?'
 "No," said Pedro and he could not keep back bit of choking sound in his throat. See this poor woman. Her face looks like the Madonna in the chapel window. and she will freeze to death if nobody cares for her Every one has gone to church now, but when you come back you can bring some one to help her. will rub her to keep her from freezing. and perhaps get her to eat the bun that is left in my pocket"
 "But cannot bear to leave you, and go or alone" said Little Brother.
 Both of us need not miss the service said Pedro. "and it had better be than you and oh! if you get chance, Little Brother to slip up to the altar without getting in an. ones way, take this little piece of silver o mine, and lay it down for my offering, whel no one Is looking. Do not forget where yo have left me, and forgive me for not goin with you"
 In this way he hurried Little Brother oi to the city, and winked hard to keep bacl the tears, as he heard the crunching foot steps sounding farther and farther away il the twilight It was pretty hard to lose tn ristmas celebration that he had been plannin; Ime instead in that lonely place in the snow erful place that night.
