"A FOOL THERE MAs.v

Miss Eugenie Blair. the leading
woman of "A Fool There Was cher
ishes big ambition. She would be-
come a world famed playwright just
as she has risen in the ranks of
stage forces. People who do one
thing we'll seem never to be content
with the success they have attained
through its medium. but seek other
laurels and achievements in channels
of similar pursuits. Caruso would
prefer to WELD the sketching pen, so
he says; Bryan leans strongly toward
the lecture platform; Roosevelt is a
clever journalist; Victor Herbert
must conduct a summer orchestra
when his mind of melody should be
busily occupied with musical COM
positions. and so il goes. But Miss
Blair possesses real talent Her pen
is creative and descriptive. She pos
sesses the sterling faculty of being
able to concentrate big ideas into in-
tense scenes. She knows human ma
ture and the more practical side of
stagedom and its business as the ac-
tion is called. During the past sum-
mer this clever emotional actress was
engaged in the studio rooms of New
York's largest motion picture factory
There she wrote many scenarios and
all have been produced. During her
spare moments between acts and per-
formances Miss Blair works diligent-
ly on some dramatic work or other.
Miss Blair will play the Vampire"
in "A Fool There Was" at The Play
house Monday evening.
