Henry Miller In "The Havov.M Henry Miller, who has created more big roles in famous dramas than any other famous modern actor, will make his first appearance In this city Tues day at the Auditorium In H. 8. Shel don's gripping play, -The Havoc." which created a genuine sensation In New Tork last year, during Its all season run at the Bijou theater, and which Is repeating on tour this season Its overwhelming success of last year on Broadway, The. actor-manager was seen here just a year ago. In a light, witty comedy of manners,' "Her Husband's Wife." This season he re turns in the most powerful play he has produced since "The Oflly Way" was a feigning sensation 10 years ago,. In which he has found, according to the New York and; San ' Francisco critics, the, greatest role he has ever played, "In many years of notable stage achievements," said ths New York Telegraph last year, "Henry Miller has never more greatly distinguished himself than In the role of Craig, the wronged husband In The Havoc' Mr. Miller never does things half-heartedly, but in all his brilliant career and this includes his great acting In 'The Only Way' and 'The Great Divide' he has never before given so force ful, so facile, so convincing a por trayal. , It Is really, a lesson In big acting. "It is the greatest acting Henry Miller has ever done," said the New York Tribune; and ths Philadel phia Times added: "As Richard Craig In 'The Havoc, Henry Miller touches the zenith of his career." These tributes from famoiinf critics are back ed by equally enthusiastic eulogies volunteered by offcer . experts on drama and actingi . " 'The Havoc' Is a dollght1 said Edwin Milton Royal, author of ''The Squaw Man," last year, "and Henry Miller's own delicate. Il luminating, compelling performance of the big central role Is a proof that the art of-acting is not -dead." "No other act or on the English speaking stage," said Sir Charles .

The engage ment is for one night only, Tuesday, December 26. ' . : : Prices 60c, 76c.i $1 and I 1.60. Tickets are selling at Whltlock's. Bailey and Austin in "The. Top V tli' ' Workl." . ; ' With a world of sparkling melodies and - overflowing with . real novelties, "The Top o' th' World," with Its orig inal stars, Bailey and Austin, and the entire original company, will be the attraction at the Auditorium Friday. Dcember 29. " Alan Dale, the celebrat ed dramatic critic on the New York American, is pobably the "coldest blooded" reviewer in the country. His pen seems to be steeped In pure sar casm. His review of a "first night" is a thing of. horror to the average producer. Of Bailey and Austin in "The Top o th' World" he said (New York American, issue of September S, 1108): "To be perfectly candid I expected for the 'most' part to be bored. t acknowledge freely that I was not It is, really a wonderful show and I say wonderful advisedly. It has so many novelties. And every body nowadays seems to have' run out of novelties.:. The scenic effects are astonishingly good.- Bailey and Austin,' Seen as two strange mechani cal toys, a ' "Jack-ln-the-Box" and a "Candy Kid," did almost everything in the repertoire of amusement They danced many times and excellently they juggled, they played musical instruments, they fell down, and fell down excellently; they 'gagged' (I think I have the correct expression), they were almost always evident, and I laughed laughed heartily. It proved my contention tluit you must go to 'the varieties'- for clever comedians. I understand that they have served long apprenticeships In 'the varieties' and it was evidenced by their most excel lent style 1 of . entertaining. I think 'The Top o' th' World' will stay at the Majestic for many months to come." It did. It stayed there eight months, movd down to the Casino and Mo4 Intrrextlng and Abaorbing Plays Auditorium, xiiursaay, uee, xs. I f - ' stayed there four months more. With Bailey and Austin, the entire original company, and an ensemble of 70 people, "The Top o th World" will be the one 'noteworthy musical attraction of the season. Prices 60 cents to 11.60. , . Ticket sale opens Wednesday morn ing at Whltlock's. "Introduce Me." . That this Is a day of clean plays is amply demonstrated by the success of the new comedy, "Introduce Me," that is to be presented at rhe Audito rium soon. It has been said of this play, that it is as sweet as a clover field in full bloom. There is not a jarring note to It; there Is said to be a genuine wealth of laughter to the story and the ingredients of heart in terest . and romanca- have , been hap pily blended. The piece was written by Delia Clarke, the well . known author-actress. She will appear here In the leading character and will be surrounded by a picked company of actors, all of whom are well known on Broadway. Lew Dockstader's Greater Minstrels. Lew Dockstader and his great min strels will be seen at the Auditorium at an early date. This season's pro duction will, it is claimed, outshine all previous efforts In minstrelsy, far surpassing anything produced hereto fore in the history of burnt cork. The name of Dockstader sranCs always for something new and original In min strelsy, and the many lovers of this form of amusement will welcome the coming of Dockstader and his all-star aggregation of funmakers. Nell O'Brien, the famous minstrel, is again one of the features of the show. Among the other well known artists are Manuel Romaln, "Happy" Naul ty, "Les" Copeland, Pete Detxell, Mas ter Leo, Roy LaPearl, Henry DeCunea, Don Ferrandou, Major Nowak and 60 othr burn cork artists. Butcher's Boy's Bride Quest Ends His Lady Fair Calls Him "Misguided Youth" When He Tells of $5500 Expenditure. New York, Dec 23. Had the late lamented Sir Thomas Mai lory, who chronicled the deeds of the noble as sassins who foregathered 'bout King Arthur's board, had this story to weave, he would doubtless have dub bed it: "Ye Valorouse Through Unrequited Queste of Ye Butcher's Youth for Ye Bee-ootlous and Semi-Approachable Ladle of Ye Imposing Hostelrle." For In sooth, to paraphrase Sir Thomas once more, the principals In this story are Michael . Oelsman, butcher's boy, Mrs. Helen Kockman, once of the Hotel Ansonla, but now of the Hotel Astor, and. Incidentally, Henry F. Geisman, father of Michael, who did his best to shatter his heir's financially debilitating romance. The sad story la being told bit by bit before a Jury In the supreme. court where Michael Geisman, who delivers meat and other commodities used for subsistence, has been suing his erstwaila friend ft ths Ansonla to recover 15,600, which he says hs lav ished upon her In the forlorn hope that should he prove to be a good lav Isher her heart might simmer a little In his direction. , "Ah! . yes," Geisman, the younger, told the jury. "I met her, Mrs. Kock man, while I was delivering necessa ries to her in her suite at the Ansonla. She told me that she waa a widow and that she waa very wealthy. I was in love at once. She said that all she needed waa $600 ready cash with which to fix a jury 'down south In a will case.' And what could I do but go out and get It for her? Thereafter I called often. Every time I called I left not less than 126 or ISO. And when I wasn't calling I was sending her boxes to the theater and flowers. Also, I presented her with a 1400 diamond solitaire ring. Yet only once did she consent to go with me to a place of amusement. "Once and as I recall It, when I had been a little slow with my gifts, she said she would like to marry me to show her appreciation of my good ness to her. She told me that I waa the best man In the world, and hand some, too." On the stand Mrs. Kockman called Geisman "only a misguided youth." denying she had received money from him. Gastronomic Crimea, Henry T. Flnck in January Century. Nor Is it enough that school girls and boys should be taught to cook; they should also learn how to eat Few learn this at home. They are usually taught to sat silently, and not to take soup off the end of a spoon or to put the knife Into the. mouth; but the more Important art of masti cation Is Ignored. It Is a branch of physiology, and should be taught by experts In the schools. If It were, the next generation of mothers and fathers would know that It la a crime to let their children swallow food, particularly milk and cereals and vegetables, before It has been kept for a while in the mouth to be mixed with saliva and mads di gestible. , If It were Indelibly Impressed on srhool children that gluttony Is a vice which defects Its own end. that by eating slowly much mors pleasure can be got from one mouthful . than by bolting a whole plateful, that this pleasure ran be vastly Increased by ront loul exhaling through the nose while eating, and that those who eat In this way will escape the pangs of Indigestion If these truths were Im pressed on every child mind, two third of the minor Ills of mankind would disappear In two generations, and most of the major maladies also; for the stomach la the source of most diseases. As Thomaa Walker -wrote nearly a century ago, "Content the stomach, and the stomach will content you."
