Henry Miller on Actor Managers

When all of this is done the opening
night comes. and then the sword OF
Damocles hangs over the head OF the
actor manager. Not only has he his
own part on his mind, but the whole
production. He knows upon what triA-
ing things success often depends. II
the weather is bad and the audience
gathers disgruntled. the play will suffer.
If the curtain bitches, the lights don't
WORK or any one makes a mistake these
accidents react on the play. L, is like

Just that same chance of catching the

simile, the starting Of a play IL like the

, sent 10 Europe 10 get ideas on which 70
plan the great opera house. and his plans
have been submitted 10 the tax commission
to get an estimate on assessment on its
site between 18Th and 46th streets. About
100000 will be expended on this feature
alone The Grand Central Palace will go
and be replaced by a great amphitheatre
which will accommodate everything that
now is shown in Madison Square Garden
and much more. Underneath it will be the
tracks of the railroad company. At 45th
street and Lexington avenue another big
hotel is TO be built. making one more with
the cluster OF the Belmont, the Grand
Union, the Murray Hill, the Manhattan and
the Ritz-Carlton.
Realizing that such a huge amusement
centre would be a great magnet 10 COM
muters and their families, the company
has laid further extensive plans for ham
ding its suburban and general passenger
traffic. These were made public January
26 when Ira L. Place appeared before the
Board Of Estimate and submitted them.
The grand idea is TO run two looIs around
the south front Of the improvement, one
on one level for suburban traffic and the
other below il for express traffic. This
will necessitate some changes in the minor
parts Of the whole Improvement. The block
between Lexington avenue and the new
Grand Central Station will pow be included,
as well as additional lands, and the SUBJ
surfaces Of streets between 42d and SD
streets and Madison, Park and Vanderbilt
avenues Vanderbilt avenue will be moved
twenty-five feet to the east.
The first story Of the Grand Central sta
ton building will be placed on the new
easterly line Of Vanderbilt avenue and on
the northerly line Of 42d street. On this
first story there Will be constructed an over
head roadway adjoining the new easterly
one of Vanderbilt avenue and the norther!y
line of 42d street and connecting with a
proposed viaduct or bridge over 42d street
and along the central part OF Park ave-
nue. TO 10th street. The northerly end or
this overhead roadway will come 70 the
grade OF and connect with 45th street. This
will serve two main purposes-it will great
ly relieve the congestion in 42d street, par
ticulariy at the intersection OF that street
with Park avenue, and II will practically
reopen Park avenue as a north and south
bound thoroughfare The plans contem-
plate easy means Of access 10 and from
the existing subway the Hudson tunnels.

have al idea smothered under folds OF
bad construction-quite useless. Others
will be we'll done. but will not have a
suitable or possible topic. And 50 on in
definitely. After some months OF fruit
less reading the actor-manager sees that
unless he is to retire from active life he
must find a play.
He then takes the least impossible Of
the lot submitted and throws his fate in
with il. He considers il. fondies IL.
studies over il. spends months OF effort

play is like the libretto Of an opera. 10

framed in silence SO as 10 give them
their value.
Then the manager must coach the
voices Of his players away from the

around us here speak. When you hear

In speaking OF these things Charles p.
