Eva Tanguay and Trixie Friganza Have Attained First Honors in Musical Comedy, and Broadway Is Talking of Them.

'WHO ARE THEY?'THE QUERY ANXIOUSLY PUT Both Went on the Stage in Their Teens, and Have Had a Diversified Experience in the Ranks of the "Merry, Merry." Probably the t w o most discussed young women on Broadway yesterday were E v a Tanguay and Trixie Friganza, the unknowns, who jumped into fame at a bound by reason of their clever work in "The Chaperons" at the N e w York Theatre Thursday night. Their leap into sudden theatrical prominence w a s not unlike that of Henrietta Crosman two years ago at the Bijou Theatre, who came to this city forgotten, and w a s the talk of the town the next morning for her characterization of Nell G w y n . If any one on Broadway Thursday evening knew Trixie Friganza or E v a Tanguay he said nothing about it, for after the performance w a s over every one w a s asking who they were. A Quick Rise i n F a m e . The little Tanguay girl w a s perhaps more discussed, because her work w a s cyclonic and absolutely new, but Miss Friganza created a lively curiosity, because in her w a s seen the possible successor of such women as May Irwin, Marie Cahill and Marie Dressier. E v a Tanguay is 2 3 years old. She w a s born in Paris, w a s taken to Canada at a n early a g e ; from there removed t o Cohoep and later to Holyoke, Mass. I t w a s about six years ago that she went on the stage with "The Merry Whirl" which stranded at Muncie, Iud. Neely, the Cuba postal wrecker, paid the fares of the company back to N e w York. Miss Tanguay w a s last seen in this city in "My Lady" a t the Victoria Theatre. Cincinnati Her Birthplace.
