George c. Tyler. managing director OF
the Liebler Company. returned from Eu-
rope on the RronprinZ Wilhelm after what
he termed the busiest four months in Eu-
rope that he had ever had in his career.
He spent only a month on a vaction
motoring trip Immediately after his ar
rival the latter part Of March, and de-
voted the rest of the time to strenuous
business of securing the attractions for
his firm for the coming season.
while 1 am delighted with the sue
cessful climax Of several big things
have been trying for" said Mr.. Tyler, Il
confess l am very tired.
Il am particularly overjoyed at the sue
cess, after four years Of patient and per-
sistent effort, in securing a contract with
Miss Phyllis NeilsOn-Terry for a term Of
years which will give me the control OF
this young English actress, both in this
country and in England. II is unneces-
sary to state in detail the wonderful
stage traditions which have accumulated
In this young artist. because they include
the finest theatrical antecedants in the
world. l saw her four years ago as vi
ola in Twelfth Night and later as
Juliet in Romeo and Juliet and realized
then that she embodied in beauty and
temperament the last word in Shakes
pearean expression. l have seen most of
the great performances of the Shakes
pearian women in my managerial exper-
ience, and 1 cansider Miss Phyllis Neli-
son-Terry the finest OF them all. She has
that rare type Of English beauty which
commands the respect and admiration OF
the world. and she has the poetic i'm
pulses not only If her youth, but also

to follow. We have in this country no
great exponent OF Shakespeare among
our younger players, and l expect that
Miss Phyllis Neilson-Terry will restore
to the American stage the traditions
which Mary Anderson gave it many
years ago.
The engagement of NaZimova-who,
by the way desires to be known hereafter
without the prefix Of madame-is most
important. because Mr. b Macdonald
Hastings has written a play more re-
markable than The New SIM of which
he was the author. The play was almost
finished before 1 left London, and was
read to Nazimova and entirely approved
by her. Incidentally. as she desires 20
renew her artistic standing in America
as the special representative of such
authors as Ibsen, Schnitzler. Strindberg.
and authors of the same intellectual
quality. Nazimova has arranged to give
special matinees in the great character
izations for which she is already famous
as well as of some of their best dramas
new to our stage.
In the forthcoming production of Ed
ward SheIdons The Garden Of Paradise
l shall complete my triumvirate of wom-
en- stars with that best OF American ac-
tresses, Miss Emily Stevens. I regard
her as absolutely necessary to the sue
cess OF this play, in accord with the
author.
