REPRESENTATIVE AMERICAN

An incident of special note to the
theatregoers of our city, will be the
first presentation of Clyde Fitch's
four act drama Nathan Hale, with
Mr.. Howard Kyle in the role. at the
Opera House on Saturday night. 1t
will be produced with full stage set
tings, and costumes appropriate to
the time, and company of Compel
ent players. Around the heroic
character, from whom the play de-
rives its name, the author has WOW
en- romance of absorbing interest.
From the time the scene opens in
the historic school house in New
England, to the end of the
play, where the self sacrificing
patriot Hale exclaims, as did the
original in the heroic drama of the
resolution-''I only regtet that
have but one life to loose for my
country interest continues to
grow, and the audience seems to feel
that it is living the struggles for ILL.,
erty in the early days ofthe Nation.
One can but regret that the play
must end with the death of the hero
but fidelity to the historical alter
native, and it is this same fidelity,
carried through the whole produc-
ton, that gives to the play its un-
surpassed and well merited claim
to human sympathy.
