PERFoRMANoE OF "uAzrL K1RkE. y

PERFoRMANoE OF "HAzEL KIRkE."
The auditorium Of the Opera House
was crowded last evening TO witness
the second perfol mauce In this city
Of the charming comedy drama of
"Hazel Rirke."
The play is love story very preItily
woven together, emitting through its
entirety any harsh language. The
dialogue Is good and the situations
probable and pleasing.
A close observer of the play cannot
help but notice that the last two acts
resembles the last act of Maggie
Mitchell's 'sPearl Of Savoy" but not
so powerfully drawn as it would be
almost impossible to obtain an actress
outside of Miss Mitchell to fully pors
tray IL.
The leading characters are of course
HAZEL and DUNsTAN KIRKE. Miss
Effie Ellsler presented the character Of
Ii AzEL with such pathos and painful
exsetness that many could be seen
several times in tears. When she
ayows her love 10 her father (who has
set his mind upon another person. for
ARTHUR CARRINoFoRD, she does it
80 faithfully that one is led to believe
that she is not feigning but 10 really
in earnest, and when her lover is OIL
dered away her womanhood asserts
itself, and she informs her father
that she will follow him wherever he
goes IN such manner that leaves no
doubt in the minds of the auditor that
Miss Ellsler is an actress. Then In
the second act she enacis the happy
vile most beautifully. She not only
acts but looks it. When ahe is in
formed that the marriage is illegal and
ID requested By the mother of her sup.
posed husband to leave, then 1t was
that Miss Ellsler rose far above the
ordinary actress, and in portraying her
struggle between love and duty, she
did IL 30 earnestly and wildly that
many handkerchiefs could be seen
being raised to the owners eyes in
order to wipe away the tears that
would gather in spite Of all struggles
to keep them down.

KIRKE was fully equal to the power

with applause for the excellent manner
in which he presented 1t although it ID

sympathies of a general audience.
Mr.. Charles Bowser was particularly
happy in the character of PTTTAoUs

of knowing that the audience was with
him in all he said and done.
Mr.. GustavIs Levick, as ARTHUH
