 The great playB "Zira.v the modern adaptation of wilkie Coilins's famous novel. "The New AMaEdalen,. Is to be the attraction at The Montgomery The atre tonight. with the favorite young emotional actress. Mabel Montgomery.
 The Norfolk. Va. Landmark says:
 To properly produce "zira" requires actors and actresses of ability. A. poor company would at once make the piece objectionable. A good Company can present 1t In an artistic manner that at once makes it, . masterpiece of dra- matic conception. Few stronger roles have ever been created for the stage than Helent Trepts afterwards called "Zira," and Maps4 Montgomery played them wonderfully we'll at the Academy of Music last night.
 It is true that "Zira" is the central character of the piece. but the numer- ous roles of lesser importance were all handled cleveriy. with the result that the performance was all to the good.
 Miss Montgomery Is an actress of ability and she received fine support.
