There are few parts more diverse in
their requirements than is the ttular one
in "ZaZa' The woman is a music hall
artist" of the lowest type, stirred by the
strongest of purely animal emotions, ami
| mated by a crude and yet brilliant humor,
actuated frequently by influences more re-
! fined than those of which she might be
suspected. The correct portrayal OF such a
character enlists the combined excellencies
OF a Fougere or a Guilbert a Madame
Bernhardt or Mrs Fiske, a Madame Re-
jane or a Kathryn Kidder Whether Mrs.
Leslie Carriers genius embodies something
from that OF all these women it would be
difficult to state. Certainly, her imper-
sonation Is perfect. Mrs Carter will be
seen in ''Zaza' next week at the National

Pickaninny Ponies Many persons have
decided after reading this statement, that
the entertainers are animal trainers and
that the term ponies is used literally
This is an error. The phrase was invented
this summer by George Lederer and refers
to ballet of very young girls. II has
been generally adopted and hence is
| brought here. The Sohlkes are a team o.
dancers who were last in Washington with
THE French Maid and who have created
the best of impressions by their excellent
work in vaudeville. which field they have
only recently taken up.
The business man who is tired by days
work. and who Unfy wishes for amusement
without mental effort could not do better
next week than to visit the Academy,
where an attraction of what is said to be
unusual worth is promised in "Finnigans
Ball. The farce is not a new one but it
has been recently rewritten and brought
up to date. Ii is to be presented by cast
