itaI. Mrs Leslie Carter returned TO Wash

the National to the doors and accorded to
play and pieyers the attention warranted
by undoubted merit. Mrs. Carter simply
repeated her former success here, winning
call after call following the great scene OF
the fourth act. There is none of the me
chanicalness usually noted in plays long
interpreted by the same company; even the
bits are naturally done. while the produc-
ton goes as smoothly as is possible.
There is scarcely an alteration in the
cast of "zaza" since its original production
in Washington two years age, and 1t would
be simply carrying Goals to Newcastle to
repeat the various words Of commentator
showered upon the players. one can say
! simply that "Zaza' is as good as ever, no
greater praise can be given. The most

WHAT is GOING ON IN LOCAL STUDIOS

A glimpse into the studio OF Miss Il. l..
Swan-in the Hoppin Homestead Build
ing--found that artist busily at work upon
some unfinished sketches which are the
result of summer spent among fruits
and flowers in the region OF North Con-
way. Miss Swan shows "A charming little
landscape in oils representing a typical
old farm house scene among the New
Hampshire Hills 1t is a realistic bit
which cannot fail TO be apprecia ted by
those who are familiar with North Con-
way scenery
An especially striking canvas which
Miss Swan has on the easel is that Of a
beautiful golden haired child I'm the midst
of big daisy field. The distinctive fea-
ture about this picture is that IL Is the
portrait of little Boston girl who Is es-
pecally fond of daisies.
She has wandered into the daisy field
and stands i'm the foreground in "a grace
ful position, with her hat filled with dali
sizes.
In the middle distance is a clump of
trees growing on the hillside.
The whole is especially delicate I'm tone
and shows an unique feature i'm the por-
traiture OF children.
ADOlneT eHecUNe poTTbll uppl WHICH
Miss Swan is just putting the finishing
touches is that of Mr.. John Street of the
firm of Eddy q Street of this city.
Among Miss Swans new pieces in fruit
are several which will attract attention.
One is "A study in strawberries. The fruit
is heaped together indiscriminately upon
a piece OF old wood. Among the red ber-
ries are mingled the green leaves and the
green fruit. The grain in the old piece OF
wood also shows distinctly and the whole
effect Is at once most natural and artis-
tic.
Another canvas shows a paper bag filled
with early Crawford peaches. The bag has
been carelessly laid upon table ana
some of the peaches roll out OF 1t.
The effective bit about this canvas Is
that the paper bag Is so realistic as TO
seem the real thing itself. The peaches
too. are most natural and rich in color
ine and an old blue stein beside the bag
adds much to the effect Of the whole.
Miss Swan Is devoting much of her
time to portraiture i'm which she excels.
