which comes the following nccount of
how Charles Trohmnn descended upon
Henry Miller with ndvlce. when tho actor
mnnnger was rehearsing in New York:
I well remember the day that rehearsal
was called for tho Inspection nnd direc
tion of tho redoubtable C. F. The com
pany was separated Into nervous little
groups about the dimly-lighted stage, all
peering anxiously Into the gloom of tho
auditorium. I had heard often of Charles
I'rohman's masterly stago management,
his extraordinary resourcefulness nnd
suggestlvoness for author and player
nllke, nnd I was all cagernces to see tho
maglclnn wavo his wand. When ho ap
peared, accompanied by Mr. Edward
Rose, I had Instant misgivings that tho
wand might turn out a broken reed nnd
misgivings were somewhat Justified by
tho event His good naturo and affability
wcro Imprognablo and his patlcnco Illim
itable, but I gathered nftor tho first ro
hearnal that his main Idea was that Mr
Roso should dramatize my play. In nil
tlio tunocenco of outraged young author
hood I complained both loud nnd deep to
Miller, and was quickly quieted and com
forted by tho cMilcnl wisdom of his ro
ply: "This Is his fun: lot him havo It.
We'll play It our own way when tho

Ho had his fun for tho wholo of a

Iho shades of night never fell so fast,

Grossmith on the Gaiety
Next week Philadelphia will Bee In "To
night's the Night," what thould bo tho
nearest approach to a slmon pure Gaiety
Theatro production from London that tho
American stago has known, It Is there
fore a good tlmo to listen to words of wis
dom concerning that British Institution
which Georgo Grossmith uttered when
playing with "Tonight's the Night" In
Now York.
"I nm not able to Btate tho exact date,
but tho old Gaiety Theatre, which stood
on the opposite sido of the road from
whoro the present Gaiety Is situated on
tho Strand, was opened about 60 jears
ago, with a scries of entertainments that
wero called burlesques, but of an alto
gether dlfforcnt character from tho pres
ent kind of performance designated as
burlesque, eten In tho English meaning
of tho word, which thero describes more
definitely an elaborato travesty on a seri
ous story. I might dcscrlbo theso en
tertainments as a sort ol present day
vaudovllio program modiflod to three
lengthy numbers, a serious piece, an ex
travaganza and a harlequinade
"The performance usually lasted from
7 In the eenlng to 11 '30 It wnB in the
harlequinade that Sir Henry Irving mado
ono of his earliest appearances The
theatre at this time was under the man
agement of John Holllngshead, and In
his company Lionel Brough and Edward
Terry kept the English public laughing
many years. About 25 or 30 years ago
the theatro passed Into the hands of
George Edwardes, the present manager
and one of England's foremost producers.
"Tho house continued with that type of
entcrtnlnmont for several years under
Mr. Edwardes, until tn 1S32 It was given
over to mustcnl comedy, which was at
that tlmo Ju3t gaining tho public's favor.
This was an Important period for theat
rical productions In tho lighter vein A
startling transition took place. Miss Kate
Vaughan, ono of that famous first Gaiety
quartet of Fred Terry, E W Royce,
Nelly Farren and Miss Vaughan, tho
most popular dancor of the day, appeared
In long skirts, an amazing Innovation for
n stage that had won n reputation for
the tight-clad limbs of Its principals and
chorus. That was tho end of tjghts and
ballet skirts for hlgh-clasa musical
comedy.
"With the abolishment of tights disap
peared a!o that typo of sybarlto that
finds Its habitat In the first rows of the
orchefltra. known In this country as the
bald-headed row nnd In London as the
'crutch and toothpick brigade.' Of courso,
Mi
tho fun nnd methods of tho comedian)
changed with the character of tho show,'
It became necessary that tho performen
becomo genuine comedians to Internrtt1
the connected story upon v hlch the muijiw
wus Biruug, j
"At tho opening of tho now Ga!l
Theatre the King nnd Queen wero amonjf
tho boxholdcrs To tho contrary, at the
old burlesques It was most rcprehenslbljw;
for a lndy to attend. Now tho Gaiety U
tho mecca for all nmusement seekeri
after tho merry ond gay and some Mi
our nobility have even sought matrlmon:
there. i
"Tho prcsont Gnlety Theatro, built cif
tho site of tho old office of Charles Dlck-1
ens nnd cross tho street from the cli
Gaiety, was opened 12 yenrd ago It hu
become a theatre rich In tradition an41
esteemed for tho genuine artistry of lttf
productions and tho brilliant success atari
have acquired on Its stage."
