Wayman was seized with an attack vertigo theatrically speaking The superabundance of up-to-the-minute ‘‘crook plays’? has led the desperate producers to search the annals of history for their new attractions and Charles Frohman came to the front, nobly. with a sort of celebration-revival of Liberty Hall at the Empire Theater last night. The celebration aspect of the affair lay in the fact that the twent‘eth anniversary of the opening of the Empire was markt by a performance of the play which did much to popularize the theater two decades ago. The cast consisted of an array of all too youthful talent: few of the members were older than the play. John Mason was the only middle-aged man in the cast and seemed too old for the sentimental requirements of his part, which was played originally by Henry Miller 20 years ago.
