After Alexander died in 1918, the lease was taken over by Gilbert Miller, an American impresario, who presented his own productions from time to time, but more often sub-let the theatre to other managers. The first was Gertrude Elliott who presented and starred in an American fantasy play, "The Eyes of Youth", which ran for 383 performances. After this, Miller went into partnership with the actor Henry Ainley, and in 1920 they presented "Julius Caesar", with Ainley as Mark Antony and a cast including Basil Gill, Claude Rains, Milton Rosmer and Lilian Braithwaite, which ran for 83 performances. There followed a succession of society dramas and light comedies including "Polly With a Past" (1921) in which many future stars appeared, including Helen Haye, Edith Evans and Noël Coward. In 1923 "The Green Goddess", a melodrama by William Archer, started a run of 417 performances.
