Billed as presenting a Clyde Fitch play, entitled ‘Frederic Lemaitre.’ Assisted by Laura Hope Crews and a man named Willard. Latter also acts as stage manager. The average patron will probably be led to believe that he is seeing something entirely new. We hope so. However, the trained eye of the newspaper men, sitting over in the boxes, can see Henry E. Dixey’s ‘David Garrick, or the Art or Acting,’ for which he claims credit. Whoever the real author may be, the fact remains that Mr. Miller’s salary differs somewhat from Dixey’s. Their relative power, as drawing cards for this house, has yet to be determined. This afternoon we have the poorest Monday matinee we have had in months. It may be because the circus is here to-day. The act, as Miller has arranged it, is intensely dramatic in spots, the comedy being almost entirely eliminated. Our orchestra and box patrons can appreciate his work – it will be lost on the balcony and gallery. Very good act. 29 mins, CDF in 3.
