Premiere Danscuse at 16
For a number oT years petite Marllynn Miller,
who will nppear In "The Passing Show of 19H"
at the Lyric Theatre next week, wns unable to
dance In New York because of the vigilance of
the Gerry Society,
The Gerry Society, as you may know, does
not encourage "child prodigies" on the stage.
New Marllynn, said to be one of the most mar
velous of dancers, was a child prokllgy, a real
"Infant phenomenon," after the standard set by
Charles Dickens.
Marllynn was 16 the first day of September.
She danced when she was 4.
Miss Miller never appeared In New York bo
fore last June, when she made an extraordinary
hit at the Winter Garden.
Marllynn made her debut with her father,
mother and sister at the Lakeside Park, Day.
ton. Ohio, on August 20. 1W3. One ufternoou.
while the Millers were playing In Dayton, little
Marllynn Miller, then 4 years old, was taken
to a moving picture show. One of the pictures
was of a famous premiere dnnseuse. Marllynn,
on arriving homo, told her mother that she
thought she could dance on her toes as well as
the lady she had seen In the plctuies. To tho
surprise of Cnro .Miller and Ills wife tholr little
daughter was veiy soon danclim around the
room on her toes.
So it was that little Marllynn became one of
tho Columbians, which after that week were
billed aa "The Columbian Trio, with Mademoi
selle Sugarlump." Tho name ".Mademoiselle
Sugarlump" was after a time dropped from the
"billing," and the Miller family became known
as the "Columbian Four"-father, mother nnd
two daughters. Owing to the child labor act,
"The Columbian Four" was unable to appear In
many of the larger cities, since Marlljnn Miller
was so young. As there are no restrictions as
to age In other countries, the Millers played
much of the time during the last ten or more
years in Canada. England, the West Indies,
South Sea Islands. Hawaii and Australia. Be
fore last June the nearest that Marllynn Miller
came to appearing in New York was Christmas
week, 1!03, when "The Columbian Four" played
a week In Brooklyn. The Gerry So'cioty then
interfered, and so little Marllynn, unable to
dance, was compelled to walk through her part.
Last May the Milter were appearing at the
Lotus Club lit London. Lee Shubert was abroad
eeklng novelties, and was greatly astonished
at the wonderful cleverness of Marilnn Miller.
He at once sent to Care Miller, the young lady's
father, and arranged for her appearance at tho
Winter Garden.

FLASHES FROM "STARS"
The nrrlval of Henry Arthur Jones In this
country to direct rehearsals of tho new play
which ho has written for Margaret Illlngton,
will complete tho trio of distinguished British
plnywrlghtB now In America. Tho other two
are Sir J. M. Barrle and A. E. W. Mason. Tho
plots of both tho new Jones plays are shrouded
In a good deal of mystery. The greatest of all
Mr. Jones' successes, "The Sliver King," has
been successfully played In London by II. B.
Irving at the Strand.
Bruce McRae, who Is starred in "Nearly
Married," has hud a varied, vigorous career.
Mr. McRae was born In India. Ills father
was a civil engineer In tho British military
service. At tho age of 1G he wanted to adopt
a stage caieer, but the probability of quick
wealth in Now Zealand caused him to start in
buslnc.s there as u sheep herder. He suo
coeded only moderately, however, nnd then
proceeded to Australia, where he secured work
In n, moat packing plant.
Tiring of this. In a fortnight ho shipped be
foie tho mast for two years as nn able sea
man, went Into tho Australian bush as a cow
puncher and thfn became n Government sur
veyor. Going back Into the cattle business, he was
sent to Laiamle, Wyo., to a big ranch, whero
ho hcrdfd steers for two years.
Then he wunt on 1HV stage. -ChaileTTTori1-man
lias producing Sardnu's "Thormidor" In
New York, and tho straightforward, manly
approach of the sun-tanned youth from the
Woat Just suited a part. Although Sardou'a
drama failed, McRac came out of the cxurrl
ence famous.
Nora Bayes returned to Now York recently
and dlnd In a restaurant not far from Broad
way. Scores of iinmeii and managers wore
seen to go up to her table nnd request her own
ns-uianco that .she was still allie. "I knew
I was awfully popular with all my husbands,"
snid Ml.-s Bayes, "but I never knew it wns so
alluring with the general public at large to
have been thought a dead one."
