HENRY MILLER IN “THE HAVOC"
IS A REAL THEATRICAL TREAT
In Henry Miller’, method, of acting
one .tea tho highest development to
date of the hl.trlonlr art. Thla art I.
essentially modern and reallatlc to a
decree that I. eoemlngly perfection. To
tho.e who admire the reallatlc school
of acting, which I. after all the only
true achool. Henry Miller and the few.
the verv few, who have achieved nn
canal ability to simulate life, arc a Joy
In whatever they do on the atage. In
••The Havoc" Miller has one of the
bc»t role, he ha. yet created. Mr.- Mil
ler",, lmper.onatlon of an American man
of business passing thru a cruel do-
mc.tlc ordeal la absolutely grounded
In method. His vengeance Involve, no
heroic., for it la in the vein of aatlrc.
The creation la compelling In It* power.
The huaband .lands by, merely pro
pelling the gchomo of punishment,
watching, half In amuaement and halt
cynically, the woman and the other
man working out their own damnation.
All the time, with aome aubtle art
which la not dlacemible except In the
lmprc.aion it gives, Miller ahowa that
he Is making ready to aid and protect
the woman when the time cornea that
ahe will turn to hlrft, because there wtll
be no one else to whom ahe may turn.
The role of the .husband la not a showy
one, but for an actor who can bring the
name resource* that Miller doea to tho
part, who can aay one thing with a
pause and deny another with a glance,
Jt la a very thankful role. Reticent as
the huaband la. Mr. Miller makes him
rule the atage. and he does It, not by
flamboyant movement nor clamor, but
as'a reault of sustained poise, of varied
Inflection, of easy, deliberate panto-
mime. v , ...
Of Miller's acting a leading critic re.
cently said: "Such exhibition Is tho
last word In the technique cf acting.
Much m»n aa Miller and hla equals are
interpreters of llfa and character. They
have'method at their Anger*’ end. They
are not cutting capers or posing, but
teaching and Illustrating. They de
serve honor and their effort! should he
studied. They mean something In the
life of the time, because they Illuminate
life.”
■ "The Havoc” la unique In Its treat
ment of the eternal triangle. The worn-
an’, role, moat ably presented by Mlea
. Laura Hope Crews, la not an admirable
or a noble one. It Is hoped that such
w omen as the wife of Craig are the ex
ception and not the rule. The woman
who Is good because the opportunity
does not offer to be bad. Is certainly In
a’dangerous position and la not worthy
of tht lova of a man like Craig, aa Mil
ler portrays him. Rather better mated
le ahe to lleasert, the third role In tho
viay, filled by Francis Byrne, an actor
of ability. Ilesaert la also a thankless
role, but Mr. Byrne give* a masterly
portrayal of thla character. Indeed, the
trio presenting ’The Havoc" are all
far above the ordinary ”»tar" In ordi
nary “drama." Whatever fault one
may And with th# story of "The Havoc”
nothing can be said against the man
ner of Its presentation, nor. Indeed, of
the construction of ths play, which Is a
fine example of the playwright's art
There are no tricks of the trade tn
the way "The Havoc" Is presented. The
only woman In the caat wears plain,
simple gowns, such as a woman of her
position would wear In real life. She't
not a beauty, by any means, nor does
she take any apodal pains to enhance
her attractiveneu. Her art give* th*
Illusion of life, and that Is all that Is
needed. The settings are unusually
good, tn that th* doors are real doors,
the fireplace a real fireplace and the
pictures and books are not painted rep
resentations. But there 1* no scenic
effect aimed at or achieved other than
reality. The play la dominated by dra
matic ability, and that is all.
"The Havoc" Is one of the great
treats of the theatrical season In At
lanta. Hare th* remainder of the week,
with Saturday matinee, at the Atlanta
theater.
At th* Grand,
Mias Alice Martin, who gives so ex-
csllent a performance of Ardath Weth-

mestic drama. "Mother," now playing
at the Grand, says that ridicule Is the

what the American stagv ■ has been
treated to recently, they surely will not

At th* Foreylh.
There have been eight performance*
at the busy Forsyth this week to th*
absolute limit of capacity In seating
and standing reservations. There la
ths largest advance sale for the re
training four performances ever reg
istered at the theater, This record
■P**ka most eloquently for the popu

been no disappointment. Every act hat
scored, and collectively the bill will be
classed with the tremendous successes
of the busy theater.
Jimmie Lucua. the clever young com
edian, Is a decidedly popular member
of tho bill. He has won the admira
tion of every audience, and his songs
and sayings will be repeated In clubs,
workshops otyi homes for some time t<>
rome. Queen Msbb and C. H. Weiss,
the clever midgets, have eclipsed tho
hits that have been made by other lit
tle people, and are now dusted aa the
greatest little entertainers Atlanta
knows. The Rials, the European, nov
elty dun, Rolfe and hla Rnlfonlons, and
the others on the bill, make It Just the
sort of entertainment to attract the
great attendance that haa been record
ed.
For New Year week, starting with
matinee on Monday, the Forsyth will

famous handcuff king, for the flrst time

created by Houdlnl, but It Will be worth

'The White Squaw’ f will be seen at
three more performances at the Lyric,
closing Its engagement Saturday
night, after a most successful week.
This play contains some of the most
Interesting characters of the modern
drama, mid at the same time tells a
story that Is gripping In Its Intensity
and touching In sentiment. There le no
lack of comedy, which Is a part of the
action and lightens the more serious
portions of the play. It Is a play of ex
ceptional dramatic worth, with unusual
scenic, devices and a caat of capable
blayera. "The White Squaw” Is a
splendid attraction and merits the at
tendance that has been accorded it.
One of the theatrical events of the
present season will be the appearance
n Atlanta next week at the Lyric of
Little Emma Bunting aa the heroine
of Grace Miller White's famous story,
"Teas of the Storm Country."
‘"less of tho Storm Country" Is n
dramatisation of the celebrated novel
of the same name, and has been put
Into stage form by that popular and
clever builder of stage plays, Rupert
Hughes, whose "Excuse Me 1 ’ was one
of th* biggest hits that New Yorkers
enjoyed the pest season.
"Teas” la considered a most remark
able story, a wonderful and original
Idea, iind the title role Is said to flt
Little Miss Bunting Just like a glove.
Tes* Is a half-wild sort of a glfl. a
flower of wild-land, who la the most
self-sacrlAcIng being that waa ever
bom. Her life has been all sorrow, but
she finds hnpplness In her own rough
way. and the Incident that makes the
story la considered one of the moat In
teresting that haa been worked Into
atage form In many years. There wtll
he a special New Tear’s matinee on
Monday.
