And this cast comprises a good stock
/ company; one of the class of com
panies old theater-goers long to see
| anchored in public esteem again. where they
have been displaced by rowing apologies
/ called combinations" with loudly pulled
stars" 1t is of that class of companies
where there is no one actor whose salary i
so weighty as to weaken the mansgc--s.4

praise being due To any one. it presents the

/ C. w. Couldock, who has =" starred IT, IN the
wears gone by. AS to the play, it is one OF

that can be heartily commended IL Is

hottest shade of the sensational about It. 1t

of her father, whose iron will wonld not yield,
| even when the man he had chosen for her
freely gave her up to the man she loved.
The marriage being consummated, the rumor
goes abroad that it is invalid, being entangled
/ in the labyrinth of the Scotch law.
1 This rumor comes Of the cunning OF q family
servant, who imagined he was doing his IT,
tied master a great service by freeing him Of
plebian wife. The husbands mother had
pledged her son in marriage to q lady of his
own rank in order to cover up the malad
ministration of that lady's estate by the
mothers family This mother appeals to the
wife to free her son, and she. believing the
man has deceived her for whom she incurred
q fathers curse, and that she has
been led into a void union, file from
him, and wauders aimlessly, and in misery
and restitution, to her old home. where the

the faithfulness of a half-witted peasant ad
mirer, the love of mother, and the sel:-sacr-
fee OF her husband, break down the iron wi of
the father, right all wrongs, and reunite hus-
band and wife, and father and daughter tits q
charming idyl play that moves sensitive
natures to tears through which glisten smiles
at the oddities of the solitary character
of the piece who believes in looking on the
brightside of things, who, at the close of the
play, after the old style, recites an epilogue,
crystallizing the moral Of the drama into a
few sententious lines, that are meaty with
wisdom. The management was excellent.
The auditors were furnished free, by usheIs,
with iced water between the acts, an atten-
ton that was very acceptable and that may
well be followed in other ways by other man
ayers. "Hazel Kirke u for the last time this
evening. 1t should be plsyed here for a
week, and could be probably, and It will
profit any one to see it. After the gorge OF
French sensational hot mash and American
imitation the public has had, Hazel Kirke"
is most refreshing.
