Hazel Kirke" will be presented at
the Opera II 'uss on Monday evening,
February 2lst.
The New York Post ssys:--"One OF
the most gratifying incidents of the
present dramatic season, has been the
success Of Hazel Kirke' at the Madison
souare Theatre. That success was iln-
mediate and has been continuous. The
play is a perfect one, full OF honest pur-
pose and vigor. The characters pos
ssss individu ality and picturssqueness;
there is no lack of incident, the motive
is pure, the interest is human, the de-
vices are old but the use OF them adroit
and the personages are compounded Of
blood, and bone and brains. This is
the secret of the success Of the play.
The types may be familiar but they are
genuine, and being genuine they gain
reoog milton and sympathy. Last night
Hazel Kirke' was performed for the
| two hundred and fifteenth time in the
presence of an audience which was
equally remarkable for its size and iti
