Almost at the ! edlan with "The Red Canary." Dorothy last minute, however, he found It Impos sible to defer Imperative business en gagements, and made the production with another In the role written for his use. The rest Is a matter of theatrical his tory. Theater-goers do not have to be told that "Daddy Long-Leg" broke all recorda for long runa at Powers theater in Chicago last year, and that it Is now. with the Chicago company, establishing new records in New York. It has been running to absolute capacity business at tho Gaiety theater in New York since the first week of last September. It la cer tain to run on Broadway all this year. Consequently, In the usual course of events). It would be three years at least before tho fascinating comedy reached the west. Because of this fact Mr. Miller decided a few weeks ago to form a spe cial company, place himself at the head of It. and take "Daddy Long-Legs" to California for a midwinter engagement In connection with the opening of the Panama-Pacific exposition. Rather than make the trip back to New York from California without a break In the routine of his travel, Mr. Miller accepted a propo sition to make a few stops en route, and this Is one of the cities he haa selected for appearances In "Daddy Long-Leg." "Daddy Long-Legs" tells the story of a bachelor's romance. Its scenes are laid in New England and in New York City. In the original book form the story waa told In a series of letter. In the comedy, naturally, there Is visualized the story suggested in the letters, the story of a pretty girl, for many yeara an inmate of a New England home for foundlings, who is lifted from her cheerless life by a bachelor with phllanthrppio ideas and placed in an ultra-fashionable girls' school; where she is given a liberal allow ance of spending money, scores of pretty frocks, and all the advantagea possessed by the daughter of a wealthy family, The bachelor simply stipulates that aha Is not to know him, nor his name, and that she la to write the history of her school life to him la letters addreased to "John Smith." But the girl, Judy Abbott, Is bright and ' iimmuimui .a. eu. Uy IiIh lonely fireside in New York, night after night, reading and re-reading the quaint, whimsical, delightful letters from the little Cinderella to whom he ia play ing the role of Prince Charming, there Is aroused In him a keen desire to see the interesting object of his charity inkier happy new home. He arranges to do so easily, for Judy Abbott is rooming at college with his own niece. He goes to call on the girls, and finds Judy Just as interesting and lovable as her letter Indicated. She confides to him. very frankly, some of the little intimate de tails of her life and refers plaintively to the fact that her dear "Daddy Long Legs" never answers her letters, but probably throws them into the fire un read. In the drifting along of events Jervis Pendleton finds himself more Interested in the pretty little orphan girl than he had supposed he could become Interested in any person or thing in the world. At the same time, Judy Is overcome by re morse when she awakens to a realization of the fact that her interest in her col lege chum's uncle is weakening the alle giance she haa felt to her Unknown "Daddy LonLegs." ThU Is the begin ning of the most fascinating andi tender est romance unfolded on the stage In snany years.

No form of dramatio art ha suffered so severely In the last twenty year aa musical burlesque. Lydia Thompson and her famed troupe popularized the mirth ful source of amusement in ' America. But the introduction of vulgarity, horse play and coarseness reduced that which should be one of the highest forms of dramatio art Into so-called "stag" en tertainment and made the name "bur lesque" a synonym for vulgar Jest, poor muslo and worse singing. It Is a sincere pleasure to chronicle a theatrical man ager who has the courage to revive bur lesque In Its truest form, B. F.
