Lafayette Opera House.

The criticism and comment passed upon
Iris" Pinero's so-called problematlcal
play, when 1t was presented here two years
ago by Miss Virginia Harmed doubtless
served to quicken the curiosity of many
Washingtonians to witness its performance.
Then, too, Miss Eugenia Blairs popularity
as an emotional actress in this city, and
the great interest of her admirers to see
her in this much-talked-of role attracted
many local playgoers. Consequently when
the curtain rose at the Lafayette Theater
last evening on the first act of Iris as
performed by Miss Blair and company.
every seat in the playhouse was filed. From
the enthusiastic applause and the numerous
curtain calls given to Miss Blair, it Is evil
dent that she met the expectations of her
friends. Throughout the action of the piece
the audience manifested complimentary
degree of interest and expressed hearty APP
prevail.
OF the supporting players Mr.. Frank
Sheridan as Maldonado appears to advan-
tage. William r. Randall as Croker Har-
rington portrays the faithful friend of Iris
with fine sympathy and loyalty, and Amy
Lesser won favor with the audience in the
role of Aurea Vyse.
The piece is excellently mounted and the
gowns worn by Miss Blair are striking
creations of the milliners art.
