Eugene Blair, in "Zaxa," Plays e
Small Business at tho odcon.

Small Business at the odeon.
Eugsnie Blair and company that Is
fairly capable appeared at the Odeon
Monday night in David Belasco's YER
sion OF "Zaza.' from the pen OF Pierre
Barton and Charles Simon. "Zaza" has
been seen under better advantages
from the local stage before than in
Miss Blair's presentation. The star Is
over-endowed physically to play the
role tina. was created for the supposed
vivaeious French concert hall singer, a
creature of the world. who did finally
lose her heart to man whom she
could honor, only to find that he be-
longed to another. Miss Blair is en-
tirely too large for a Zaza, and aside
from her emotional work in the fourth
act. there Is but very little to admire
in her manner of presentation. Miss
Blair Is strong in the scene OF the ac-
cusatton, and put her whole soul into
the character OF the heart broken girl.
q. Aianson Lessey as Bernard Du-
ferne, is very satisfactory indeed, but
the other important character Harry
G. Brownies Cascart, was a disappoint-
ment. Mr.. Brownies Interpretation OF
the matter-of-fact Cascart is peculiar
to himself. and far from pleasing. The
house was small, and this fact may
have had an influence on the apparent
ly Indifferent performance.
