THE WEEKS PLAYBILLS.
BeIaSco-Thomas A. Wise.

There are several circumstances con-
nected with the first production on any
stage tomorrow evening at the BeIasco
Theater Of An Old New Yorker that
should make the occasion one of ex-
CeptionaI interest to Washington amuse-
ment lovers. The play is the second
Joint effort Of Harrison Rhodes and
Thomas A Wise, authors of "A Gentle
man from Mississippi which also had
its premier in Washington two years
ago. MI Wise will appear for the first
time as Samuel Beekmsn. an old New
Yorker. William A. Brady will make
the production. Harrison Rhodes, the
novelist and cO-aUthCr Of the piay, who
will be here for the opening is well
known in local social circles, and, lastly.
in the supporting company is one of
Washington fair daughters, Miss Lola
May
Samuel B0ekman, an old-SChoOI type of
husineS: man. is the central figure in
An Old New Yorker" He finds it i'm
possible 10 conform TO the methods OF
the modern business world The play
opens on New Years Dag, when young
Richard COrlISS. son of Beekman's late
raItner. Is taken into the firm of Beck
man &, COrlisS. Dick and his inheritance
were left to Beekman on the death of his
father. There is at once a clash be
tween the old and new methods of busi-
ness dealing. as represented in Beekman
and Dick. with the result that the old
firm dissoVes-
BeekClan, out OF love for the boy, and
because his mother was the only woman
the old bachelor ever loved, pays Dick
much more than his share of the bust
ness. As a result of this, Beekman and
MS old maid sister Elizabeth are living
In almost actual want. but they still
cling to their old traditions and their
Lride, and when Dick is himself in ex-
tremc difficulty they are even willing TO
sell their old home to save him. But in
the end Beekman is aroused forms an
opposition TO the interests that are fight
ing Dick. goes back into the business
arena and eventually RECEIVERS his lost
fortune
Mr.. Wise will be seen as the scrupu-
louSly honest. Courtly Old New Yorker
a gentleman Of the old school, who has
remained Untarnished by the latter day
business methods. a sturdy character
that should be a delight to behold. The
heart interest has not been overlooked
by the authors, there being two love
stories in the play, and as life has its
humorous as well as its serious side, a
full measure of mirth is said to have
been provided.
Mr.. WiSe's supporting company will in
clude many well-known players, promi-
rent among whom are William Rosell,
George CASTOR, Arthur i. Cogsliter Will

OFTEN COMPARED WITH GUITRY.

It is a curious coincidence that three
magazines during the past month, in their
reviews of '"The Havoc" have compared
Henry MiIler's methods to those of NJ.
Lucien Guitry, the greatest actor in
France The three magazine critics saw
Guitry for the first time last season when
they visited Paris to witness ''Chante-
cIer." in which he created the role which
Maude Adams is now playing at the
KniCkerboCker Theater in New York All
three writer's used practically the same
phrase, Henry Miller is the American
Guitry.''
This coincidence is made more remark
able by an incident that occurred in Lon
don at the beginning Of the run of The
Great Divide" a year ago last Septem-
Der. The London critics were divided in
their opinions of The Great Divide" but
they were unanimous in their eulogies of
Henry MiIler's powerful acting in the
role of Stephen Ghent.
And the morning following the Lon
don premier of William Vaughn hoody's
famous play at the Adelphi Theater, the
critic for the London Times concluded
really remarkable tribute to Henry Mil
ler's acting with the statement, Mr..
Miller is an American Guitry; we know
no better way to describe his wonderfully
effective, realistic acting and his striking
personality"
During the morning Mr.. Miller received
an interviewer who represented a Lon
don afternoon paper. The English news
paper man asked the actor-manager If
he had seen the reference to Guitry in
the Times criticism, observing that he
quite agreed with the writer. Yes" said
Mr.. Miller, and it is the third episode
in what 1 have come to regard as a
'Guitry cycle
when 1 first visited the Office of the
Adelphi Theater a few days ago, I no

framed and sent to my hotel. Last night,
just before l appeared for the first time
on a London stage. a member of the
theater staff told me that NJ. Guitry
had been the last occupant of the dress
ing room assigned TO me. This morning
the first criticism ! read compared me
to NJ. Guitry. 1t begins to look like 'Tou
jours, Guitry.'
II Is more than possible that another
episode win be added to what Mr. Miller
calls the 'Guftry Cycle. NJ. Stany Orbier.

one OF the unusual kind in the American

slightly tinged it with gray. and it is
gratifying that this strong actor-to know

being able TO delight the lovers OF ro-
