It's been the talk of the town-Miss
Virginia Thornton s Interpretation of
Zaza at the Orpheum. Her interpreta-
ton is worthy of the highest praise,
and none seem to withhold it. The
coming week, when the company will
present the same piece for three nights,
will undoubtedly draw good audiences.
The play is well represented, and so
aptly and Enthusiastically shown, that
the auditor loses sight of all around
him and fills his eye and mind only with
what is going on on the stage. Miss
Thornton has certainly made real hit,
the Kaleidoscope vagaries of ZaZa g
complex character being splendidly
shown by the actress, with emotion that
seems all but real.
