| IRVING MILLER IN PHILADEL-

This week that prince Of producers,
Irving c. Miller and his pleasing lit
tie partner, Miss Esther Bigeon are
holding down the boards at the Glib
sons New Standard Theatre in Phil
adelphia. They have nine other mem
bers in their "Mr. Ragtime" Company
This is their second week there and
from reports they are really going
big. They evidently know what the
people want and do not lose time in
giving it to time in fine style. One
reporter in writing says that Irving
should put barbed wire fence
around his pretty girls. The song
and dance numbers are said to be
superb. The plot is exceptionally
well written and the acting par excel
lence.
Irving is all right and for Miss
Bigeon we have fairly fallen in love
with her mode of acting, and more
than once we have classed her as the
leading actress of color in this coun-
try, with personality and grace that
is peculiar only to her.
