LothrOp's Opera House.

"Hazel Kirke" is another OF those
beautiful plays that win never grow old
nor lose their power to attract unless
poorly portrayed. Consequently 10th
rop's Opera House Is center of attraction
this week. AT least it was yesterday
when two OF the largest audiences Of the
season resulted. All the boxes were &C.
cupied, too. The sad story of Hazel and
her misguided miller father, and all the
rest who go to make the picture complete,
is well known. 1t has been presented by
better players, perhaps, but the cast Of
Lothrop's compares very favorably with
the best. Miss Kate Dallas, already a
warm favorite. makes much of the title role
and in several places her acting Is
excellent. M. Walsh, as Dunstsn Kirke,
gives a studied representation Of the old
man, which Is altogether satisfactory,
and he received a merite6 curtain call.
