"Zaza."


Miss Mabel Montgomery, who will
be seen as '.ZaZa" at the opera house
next Monday night, is one of the hand
soonest of the younger women of the
stage. Miss Montgomery began her
stage career with Joseph Jefferson, as
little Neenie, in Rip Van Wrinkle, at
the Star theatre, New York. She was
with the Conried Opera company in
the '90's, and played one of the prin-
cipal parts in Babes in the WOODS"
during its four months run at the
Boston theatre-and after. She was
specially engaged for the big Dixey
revival of "Adonis" at the Casino, in
New York, and was under A. NJ. Palm
er's management at the Garden the
atre, New York, later. She was also
leading woman win Jimmie Powers,
in Gentleman joe" at the Bijou, New
York, and leading lady at Proctor's
Fifth Avenue theatre. Her greatest
hit, before ''Zaza," was as the
Widow" in Hoyt's "A Trip to China
town" Miss Montgomery has had
the best kind of experience, as lead
ing woman in New York and Chicago
stock companies, having played over
200 parts, and she is not yet so years
of age. She has played everything,
from farce to ''Zaza" which is her
greatest part. She is a real actress,
not of any school but a natural born
actress, in the Leslie Carter class.
