The engagement of Mrs. Leslie car
ter at the Shubert Theatre next week
should be most interesting, because
she will be seen In her former great
success, "zaza," and will also be seen
in a new role for the first time, that
Of Paula Tanqueray in THE Second
Nrs Tanoueray." "Zaza" will be
riven on Monday, Tuesday, Friday
and Saturday nights and at the sat
nrday matinee, and the Tanqueray
drama will be acted first at the
"wednesday matinee and again on
that same evening and the night fol-
lowing.
It was her impersonation of the role
nj Zaza that placed Mrs. Carter at the
mead of the list of American emo
fsonal actresses, an representation
that won for her fame and money
and brought forward comparison
with the best acting of either Bern
hardt or Duse, and in certain phases
of her delineation 1t was said at the
time she surpassed even those two
great exponents of emotional por-
trayal.
AS a singer in a provincial music
hall near Paris Zaza meets man
with whom she falls in love. Their
attachment is mutual and for the
first time she knows what true hap
piness is. Later she discovers he Is
married and calls upon his wife in
Jealous rage to be revenged upon him
for his duplicity. The wife is out, but
she meets their child While convers-
ing with the child the good and the
bad struggle for mastery, but the
better wins and Zaza leaves without
making known her mission.
When the man understands that
Zaza has called upon his wife, he
bitterly upbraids her. and in scene
of intense power Zaza turns upon him
with furious scorn and the rupture
IS complete. Later Zaza becomes
great public favorite, and then the
man endeavors to come again into
her life. But she, reared as she was
in the lowest station, whose rough
experience with the world has made
her a good and noble woman, teaches
him his duty and the curtain falls.
Paula Tanqueray, in THE Second
Mrs. Tanqueray, is an entirely diff
ferent type of woman from Zaza.
Zaza was brought up in the direst
misery, whereas Paula was a woman
of good social position, of refinement
and education. THE Second Mrs.
Tanquerays is by Arthur Wing
Pinero, one of the greatest of the
present generation of English dra-
matte authors.
Aubrey Tanqueray assures his old
friend and chum, Cayley Drummle.
that he will show him. and the world
generally that it is possible for a
man to marry a woman of former
loose associations and live happily
with her. Cayley Drummle is present
in the Tanqueray home few months
later, when the second Mrs. Tan
oueray, the woman with past, COM
rnits suicide. She had dropped her
old associates, but had failed to re-
eeive the confidence of the new. Her
former life rose to confront her at
the most inopportune times, and. de-
spite her love for her husband and
his for her, the mental agony OF 1t
all. she thought that her effacement
was necessary to the happiness of
others, drove her to self-destruction
