Premiere Danscusc at 16 For a number cVf years petite Marllynn Miller, who will appear In "The Passing Show of 1914" nt the Lyric Theatre next week, was unable to dance In New Yoik because of the vigilance of the Gerry Society. Tho Gerry Society, as you may know, docs not encourage "child prodigies" on the stngo. Now Marllynn, suld to be one of the most mar velous of dnnceis, was n child picAllgy, a real "Infant phenomenon," after the standard set by Charles Dickens. Marllynn was 16 the first day of September. She danced when she was I. Miss Miller never appeared in Now York In fore 1 1st Juno, when she made an extnordlnary hit at the Winter Garden. Marllynn made her debut with her father, mother nnd sister at the Lakeside Park, Day ton, Ohio, on August 20, 1103. One afternoon, while the Millers were playing in Dayton, little Maillynn Miller, then 4 years old, wns tnken to a moving picture show. One of tho pictures was of a famous premiere dnnseuso. Marllynn, on arriving home, told her mother that she thought she could dance on her toes as well as the lady she had seen in the pictures. To the surpilse of Caro Miller and his wife their little daughter was very soon dancing around the room on her toes. So it was that little Maillynn becumo ono of the Columbians, which after that week were billed ns "The Columbian Trio, with Mndomol selle riugarlump." The name "Mndomolsollo Sugarlump" was after a time dropped from the "billing," and the MHU?r family bucimo known as tho "Columbian Four" father, mother and two daughters. Owing to the child labor act. "The Columbian Four" was unable to appear In many of tho larger cities, sinco Marllynn Miller was so young. As there aro no restrictions as to ago In other countries, the Millers played much of the timo during tho last ton or more years In Canada, England, the West Indies, South t-'en Islands, Hawaii and Australia. Be fore last Juno the nearest that Marllynn Miller came to appearing In New York was Christmas week. 1905. when "The Columbian Four" played a week In Brooklyn. The Gerry Society thon Interfered, and so little Murlljmi, unable to dance, wns compelled to walk through her part. Last May the Millers were appearing at thi Lotus Club in Loudon. Lee Shubort was abnwd teeking novelties, nnd was greatly astonished at tho wonderful clevorness of Mnrllnn Miller. Ho at once sent to Care Miller, tho young ladys fnther, nnd arranged for her appearance at the Winter Garden. AMUSEMENTS B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE "Worth liuiflno i Srnl j See!
