Eugene Blair. who will be at the
Grand in "A Lady of Quality on
Tuesday night. has scored a great sue
cess in the dramatic ton of Frances
Hodgson Burnett's famous story.
Upon her appearance at Seattle a few
nights ago the Times said:
Eugene Blair scored a remarkable
success in "A Lady Of Quality at the
Seattle theater last night. The play
is a characterization of Frances Hodgson
Burnett's two books, A Lady of Quail
ity' and its sequel, His Grace of Os-
monde 1t is a wonderfully clever
piece of work and was magnifcently
rendered by Miss Blair and her power
full company.
Miss Blair's acting was even better
than we had been led to expect from
her. She is no less beautiful than an
accomplished actress. She assumed the
part of Clorinda. the wild, young moth
erless girl that develops into a splendid
woman. whose only protection from the
rakes she is forced to associate with is
her native wit and strength of body
and mind. Clorinda's scene with John
Oxon (William BramwelD in the second
act, Where Oxon comes to tell the young
girl. whom he has dangled after and
sworn oaths of faith to for two years,
after he has ruined her. is simply SUI
perb. Clornda laughs at him, and his
expectations of tears and protestatinss
on her part, and drives him from her
with the greatest scorn. Clorinda's
last exclamation of the scene Back
to your kennel, cur!' brought down
the house. At the close of the act
the curtain calls attested the apprecia-
ton of the large and representative
audience.
The climax of acting came, how
ever, in the fourth act. where, tainted
and driven to desperation by the des-
picable Oxony who imagines he has her
at last in his power to bend at his
own sweet Will, she snatches the loaded
whip with which she has just con-
quered spirited horse, and kills him
with shower of blows on his unpro-
tected head.
Miss Blairs support is far better
than necessary for the restricted parts
called for in the drama. after her own
and that of the leading man, Mr..
Bramwell All the company are ex-
ceilent actors, and one has desire to
have them let themselves out a little,
but the limitation of the lines prevents
This satisfaction
nv One of the cleverest scenes in the
play is the first when Clorinda, in
mans attire, fences with Sir John, and
the registering company gets good
parson tipsy.
Taken altogether. the performance

T. II. Peake, a writer Puck, has
compiled the appended oper -hic diction-
airy:
Grand opera-The presentation in
any language but English of lyric
story, depicting life and its emotions
as they are not. Presented, usually, by
a polyglot combination of singers, who
are not on speaking terms with each
other, but who are compelled to appear
nightly, in order that they may, at the
end of the season, buy French chateaus
and Rhine castles.
Comic opera-A paradoXical misno-
mer. A performance made up of rem
lniscent music and funeral jokes of
bygone vintage, the chief aim of which
lis to conceal any semblance of a plot
that may have been evolved by the
librettist. Mainly used as a background
for beefy calves in pink tights and as
a mausoleum for humor
Prima donna-An imported combina-
tion of paste and vocal jewels, subject
to frequent fits of indisposition for
which there is but one,cure, j. e. a sue
cessful understudy.
Chorus-A body of automatons, who
