Tie Scenes in Daddy Long Legs"

Henry Millers new production In
which Ruth Chatterton is being featured
with be notable, as are all of this actor
managers presentations, for effective
staging. Mr.. Miller believes in the most
perfect atmospheric detail in the set
tings which surround the characters in
ductions Of The Great Divide The
Rainbow" The Servant in the House. /"
and in late years the Chauncey Olcott
productions. Mr.. Miller has provided
stage settings which won instan. ap-
plauSe as the curtain arose on each
act. He has an instinct for making in
terror settings look like rooms and halls
in real homes, and for giving exterior
scenes an air of reality that few painted
presentations of canvas and wood can
convey. 1t is the Henry Miller Touch"
as 1t has been called, which adds the
perfection that makes for reality.
In Daddy Long-Legs' there will be
four acts. The first shows the iiIrericr
oi TIC John Griggs Home for Orphans,
with ali the cheerlessness thai such a
place might be expected to possess. The
second act is in direct contrast being
a college girls room with its gay pen
nants and makeshift furniture, the room
in which little Judy the orphan
heroine. has her first taste of happiness
and prosperity. The third act is laid
at the Senple farm in New England,
and Is picturesque and exquisite Cx-
