VALENCIA CHANGES
ITS OPENING DAY
"Zira," New Production for the
Week, to Be Seen First
Time Monday Night

The last performances Of "Aristoc-
racy' viii be given this afternoon and
evening. The management of the pop
ular playhouse begins its new policy of
opening the new productions on Mon
DAY night. instead Of on Sunday, as
formerly.
The stage is noted as the birthplace
Of many unusual situations quite as
much In the wings and in the green
room as In the artificial settings and
the action before the footlights. 1t
is doubtful II a stock actress ever found
herself in just the position which Miss
Blanche StOddard will occupy tomorrow
night when the curtain rises at the Va
lencla theater on the first act of "Zira, ["

Trent dominate the many dual scenes.
ln the original production Of "Zira''
Miss Stoddard played Ruth Wiiding op-
posite 10 Margaret Anglin's Hester
Trent And, whether because of her
unusual ability as an emotional actress
Of great power, or because of the
strength OF the part itself. it is a fact
that New York was hardly less sparfng

than OF Miss Anglin's creation Of Zfra
In the production tomorrow night
Miss Helen Lackaye viii play Ruth
Wlding. II has been said that. with
very few exceptions, 'Zlra" presents
the most unusual situation TO be
found IN the modern drama. The
strength Of the two leading roles is
so great and so nearly alike and
equal that only the personality Of the
one playing Helen Trent or the one
playing Ruth Wilding viii determine
the relative values of the part
Zira" in this connection is thus
found to be less a star play than
almost any other drama written with
n recent years. It follows closely
