| Haswell has in her support such well
known artists as Maud Granger,
Boyd Putnam. Nancy Padget. Henry
Burkhardt and twent others equally
well known. Her production of this
piece which ran for nearly two years
in New York, is announced one of the
dramatic features of this season, and
it is promised to be one of the most
important dramatic presentations to
be seen here this year. Mr.. Freedman
was business manager for Miss Julia
Arthur during her first tour of the
country in "A Lady of Quality" and

Christian" He now finds himself bust

other eminent stars he has represent

the performance was as beautiful OF

to run the gauntlet of the curiosity

her face behind deep veil. The

TALES OF THE THEATRE.

Eugene Blair, seen here year ago
in Peg Wellington" returned last ev-
ening to the Illinois in 'Zaza," the
spicy French drama introduced in
America by Mrs. Leslie Carter several
seasons ago. Miss Blair. a talented
and beautiful woman and skillful act
ress, is effective in the character of
''Zaza,' concert hall singer, whose
one real love affair involves her with
Bernard Dufrene, a married man,
who, she learns after having been his
mistress for six months, has been
maintaining two establishments. The
denouement occurs in the third act,
and it is here Miss Blair best displays

the name of an actor in place of an

English traditions. One of her ances-

And Effort is Made to Prove He Per-

Another illustration of the care
that insurance institutions must ex-
ercise to prevent being swindled is
furnished in a case that has recently
come to light in Colorado in which
the Modern Woodmen society is con-
cerned. In August, 1891. at Delta,
Col, the home of l.. Grant Angel was
burned. The neighbors were assist
ing the owner in saving his household
effects before they were reached by
the flames. Finally Mr.. Angel went
into the building and failed to re-
appear. The supposition was that he
had been caught and suffocated in
one of the rooms and his body de
stroyed by the fire. This was sub
Stimulated by the finding of charred
bones in the ashes.
Angel Returns to Life.
The Modern Woodmen and the
Woodmen of the World, in both of
which Angel was insured, were led
to suspect that something was wrong,
and contested the payment of the
claims. Time went on. and the bene-
ficiaries did not sue. Finally. only n
few days ago, Angel appeared in his
home town in the best of health. lie

disadvantages of being dead out

nual visit. The piece has reached the
tenth season of uninterrupted success
in the United States and this fact is
worthy of note, for the average play
wears itself out. In Old Kentucky
can keep on coming for many more
seasons and it will never wear out its
welcome. There is a charm to this
delightful southern play that is hard
TO describe but easy to understand to
those who have seen it. People go
again and again. This year brand
new scenic production is promised
and a stronger east than the piece has
ever had.
