Danlel Frawley to know that to that quiet, unassuming gentleman is . due the credit of bringing about a renaissance in one of the important branches of dramatic art. Half a generation ago every city of tonsequence in this country had its one or-more brilliant and successfyl stock companies, through the medium of which the public were afforded oppor- tunities to enjoy the talents of the greatest stars of the day. The system, however, gradually went into decay, and was finally relegated to the realm of memory by the aggressive and cap- tivating traveling organization.

The part layed by Mr. Miller is that of a father, ‘homas Faber, who, without consulting any one else, has planned out the future of his son and daughter to suit himself, | and suddenly awakens to find that it is | utterly different from what they desire, or what their mother, who is their confidant | and sympathizer, ‘wishes for them. Fa- | ber's domineering nature, both in his busi- ness and his household, has won for him the sobriquet of ‘“The Master,” but the playwright, even in the first act, at the end of which Faber casts out his son for disobeying him in joining the army and a daughter for preférring the man of her | choice to the one he wishes her to marry, jallows —certaln love traits to shine lhfiough. e is truly a man of sterling qualities and deep affoction underneath his auto cratic ways, which seem rather the result ® ® ® O] @ 2] popularity of the stock companies hudlot e 3 reached such a stage that there were | o hn policy of the modern business world than of an innate tyranni- no organizations of the kind playing | in repertoire at first-class prices, and the system was supposed to be dead. | In 1894 in this city the idea was con- | cetved of trying an experiment on the | public by organizing and conducting a stock company on the old lines. Messrs. | Frawley and Friedlander, Gottlob & | Co. had the courage of their convictions l and the enterprise was launched. It | met with popular favor.

San Fran- ciscans became proud of the ley and enamored of the e ¥ _sterling actors and actresses it introduced to them. Its success and fame gradually spread throughout the West_and East until the force of ex- ample had its effect. At that time there were stock com- paniés i New York, such as Dan Frohman's Lyceum _aggregation, but they “were organized to present one play to be run to a finish, which often ineant a year or more, and when a new attraction was to be presented a new set_of people was selected to play it. tern managers were convinced that € successful conduct of a stock com- pany. presenting a new bill each week top prices was practically im- But Mr. Frawley’s triumph- progress along those old lines ught a change over the spirit of r theories, until now the revival of 5 an established fact, and strange to say it appears thus far to have resulted in no material diminu- tion of the business of the standard combinations. ormation has beena marked uring the past season in the States there were in existence e whole or part thereof fifty or- Za, styling themselves stock mpanies and conducted under the old ystem.
