MISS EUGENE BLAIR INs @zAzA.'
Shells Said to Have Scored Hit
r.s-sA naears at the Grand


It is with a. great. deal of pleasure
that the management of the Grand
opera house announces the engage
,nent in this city following the engage
nents of Kellar, of Miss Eugene Blair
in David Belasco's great play "Zaza.",
Miss Blair has always enjoyed an eX-
ceptionally large following in ST. Paul
ind IN the title role of s.ZaZa she IS
said to- find a part especially Well
suited to her dramatic temperament
and onesin which she has scored the
most empha tic hit of her career. The
adaptionfof .Zaza" which was made.
for the American stage by David Be
lasco and by him used for over two
seasons, has been secured outright by
Mr.. Henri Gressitt, and the presenta-
fIon will be made with all. the original
scenery, furniture, electrical effects,
etc. employed In its. original New
York production.
"Zaza.o tells the story Ofea music hall
actress whose life rises from depths
of degradation to the heights of pure
self sacrifice; inspired thereto by the
sredeenlfng force Of "a great love and
shows how a great moral lesson may
be learned even from the life OF a
woman whose past hasabeen unworthy.
Out OF the most objectionable piece
ever presented in Paris Mr. Belasco
fashioned strong and nFble play,
which: while ingFvfrankly with
facts, is its theme 50 deliciously

despised by the leading lady and held
up to ridicule by the comic supple
ments-has found a sincere friend in
Henry w. Savage, manager of operas,
comic and serious. Mr.. Savage, tits
estimated, employs in a season for his
various productions, as many as boo
chorus girls. Not long ago he an
nounced that If any chorus girl
thought she was unjustly fined or-in
any other way unfairly treated she
could submit her case in writing to
him and he would investigated. But
this managers sense of fairness did
not stop at this. In a certain pr oduc.
ten, playing now in Chicago. little
chorus girl, or show girl, if you like,
was given a tiny speaking part. The
girl is a graduate of Wellesley. and be-
slices having education, has beauty and
grace. She invented for her little part
several new and peculiarly graceful
steps and a unique courtesy that
brought her instant favor With the au-
dlence. But, it is whispered, the Lead
ing lady grew Jealous and the stage
manager was in doubt. The chorus
Girl appealed to Mr.. Savage. From the
audience one night he watched the lit
tie chorus girl play her tiny part in her
own fashion, and the next day the
edict went forth that she was during
the remainder of the run to give the
part with all the accessoriesstf she
had herself invented. "And this is the
reason" his friends claim; why Mr..
Savage is SO successful as a manager"

THEATRICAL NOTES.

Miss Percy HasweH will make her first
stellar appearance in this city at an early
date presenting "a Royal Family, by
Capt. r. Marshall, who in this romantic
comedy tells an old, old story in a new
way. Its motive is that of a young girl
refusing to marry the man her parents
have selected for her, being thrown into
his company without knowing who he Is,
promptly falling in love with him, and
when the moment comes where she is
forced to place her hand in that of the
bated being her parents have chosen for
her, raising her eyes and finding none
other than the man she adores. The
author has laid his scenes in the Kingdom
z Of Arcacia and has thus given opportunity
fora series of exquisite stage pictures re-
hecting the pomp and splendor OF. court
life.
Weedon Grossmitf, the English come
dian, who has opened the new Princess
theater, in New York. occupies a unique
place in British society. The Grossmfths
are a theatrical family, having been iden-
titled with dramatic art in Great Britain
for several generations. Weldon Gros-
smith and his brother George are personal
friends of King Edward. They were
sguests at Sandringham when the king
was the Prince Of Wales, and their init
macy has not lessened since he assembled
the throne. There are few other actors

with royalty, but none to such a degree
as do the Grossmfths.

MAGICIAN kELLAR AT GRAND.
Has Number of New Things Which
Are Expected TO Please. sges

Magic, as practiced today, pertains
to the fine arts. There is less of the
mysticism in it which characterized
the maglcians' practice in the middle
ages, for the world has learned to look
upon these exhibitions of APPARENTLY
4superhuman power through matter of
fact glasses, but there is as keen an
Q ppreciation of the marvellous skill Of
agile mind and tempered muscles, and
the exhibitions of latter-day profess
sorS of occult power are none the less
enjoyed and appreciated. There is a.
joy in them not only for the young
who sit in gaping wonderment at the
vanishing bodies and material trans
lation, but for the elders as well, for
men are only overgrown boys, and the
truly marvellous appeals as strongly to
them as to their beardless progeny. To
women the mystic has an undeniable
attraction, constant spur to Curl
osity, feeling Of uncanny delight
The American stage has but one really
great magician today-Kellar. He has
been the pioneer of magicians for
years. He has furnished brains which
other men have plagiarized, and has
wrought marvels which his less gifted
competitors have tried to initiate. He
has been the inspiration and the
source, the fountain head Of modern
magic.
