well-named play Daughters of Eve will

from Cleveland last night with all the
beautiful scenery and gorgeous costumes
that have helped to make this play one
of her greatest successes. She is woman
OF remarkable beauty OF face and figure,
although her hair does not exactly proclaim
her genius nor does her very pretty mouth

of movement that is singularly pleasing to
those who see her either on the stage or
in her hotel boudoir. Her voice has a
melodious charm and is great source of
power in swaying the susceptible emotions
of theater audience. Although Miss Vain
wright has not played here for some years

performances and will be glad to renew the
across-the-foot-lights acquaintance. Miss
