NEW YORK, April 13.-By far
the most important event OF the lat
ter half OF the dramatic season
which - now coming 20 close is
the opening Of the new Henry Miller
theater on W. Forty-Third ST. This
occurred on the night OF April 1,
when Mr.. Miller and his associate
players presented for the first time
The Fountain OF Youth"
It has come to- be a matter Of com
mon occurrence for new theaters TO
open in New York In fact as Mr..
Miller said I'm his curtain speech on
the opening night. eft is "a poor week
in New York when new theater
does not open and "a good week when
one does not close"
&c would be unfair. however. 10
regard the new Henry Miller theater
merely as a commercial venture. For
many years Henry Miller has been
one OF the foremost actors on the
American stage. For almost as long
time he has cherished an ambition
90 have "a theater OF his own. where
ne could carry out the high ideals
matte profession. il is a fitting
realization Of this ambition that the
opening performance should have
been one OF the most distinctive ones
tO turn out for any first night" in
New York in many seasons. There
seems TO be a general belief on the
part of playgOers OF this city that
AR. Miller viii realize TO the full the
possibilities OF a playhouse owned
and directed by an actor who COM
hines intelligence. experience and
good taste.
The new theater is not large. Tt
can take care Of an audience of
fewer than one thousand persons in
the orchestras two balconies and
double boxes. The building is dis
tinctive in design. and has been dec
GRATED i'm quiet tone which makes
~ AN extremely pleasant place to
spend an evening. There is a com
Portable lounge below the main floor
and the retiring rooms have every
convenience for the comfort of the
patrons OF the house.
The woodwork is i'm walnut, while
the upholstery and hanEings are in
blue and duh gold. The old English
style was followed. and candelabra
shed a soft and almost cathedral-like
glow over the auditorium. The cell
ing and upper walls are finished I'm
ivory and duh gold.
As for the play itself, "The Foun-
tain of Youth" is pleasing. in spite
of the fact that it works out 10 a
conclusion which is obvious from
the opening Of the first act The
dialogue for the most part was eN-
trcmeIv clever, and the company
which Mr. Miller has gathered in his
support made the most of it.
Mr.. Miller essayed the role OF an

social secretary to Mrs. FOrsythe,
who IS also an object of alteration
for the Forsythe boy. True love
runs its usual bumpy course before
Place succeeds in winning the sec
rotary and finds in her love a real
fountain Of youth.
The heroine was played by Olive
Tell, and the only criticism TO be
made of her rendition of the part
was that she was just a trifie too
strained in the more delicate mo-
ments. Lucille Watson. acting as
the cynical. world-weary widow, was
splendid.
Mr. Miller, as the wealthy bach
elor had his audience with him
from the start. and he really de-
served all Of the splendid applause
which he got. He was extremely
graceful in the part, which he made
extremely lovable and very true in
the sentimental passages. Frank
Sylvester shared the honors with
Mr.. Miller, pOrtraying a hard head
ed. commercial minded theatrical
manager to the life. others in the
case were Frank Kemble Cooper, c.
Leslie Austen. Hilda Spoons. Robert
Ames and Lillian Campbell Cooper.

TRIED TO CHARGE TOLL FOR
CROSSING RIVER

Brown county, Ohio, farmers were
confronted with a peculiar situation
yesterday morning when bringing
their tobacco to this side of the river
to be placed on sale at the local mar
kets. When arriving on this side of
the river, demand was made of them
by Scudder Huron, of Aberdeen, that
they pay him toll of one dollar for
each sled. The farmers refused and
Huron threatened to cut the ice at the
landing and prevent them from cross
ing. The matter was reported to
Chief of Police Oft and he immedi-
ately went to the river front and
warned Huron that he must discon-
tinue his practice and if his threat to
cut the ice at the landing was car
ried out, the matter would be report
ed to Federal authorities.
