Between three and four million peo-
pie have seen "The Music Master" and
have paid into the box office of the
theatres in which the play has been
shown between three ard four millions
of dollars, and now, after fourteen
years have passed since its first pres
entation, Mr.. Belasco feels the demand
is still so strong that he has laid aside
all plans for new play for David
Warfeld for another season in order to
give a popular revival of "The Music
Master at the Manhattan Opera House.
The premier of "The Music Master"
was given at Young's Pier Theatre, in
Atlantic City, early in September, 1904,
and it came into New York for its open
ing on the evening of the Sep
tember 26 at the old Belasco Theatre,
which is now the Republic. 1t remained
in this theatre until the following JAN
uary, when it was transferred to the
Bijou Theatre, and there it continuel
until June. The following Septembe r
