"Nathan Hale"

An audience that was very ap-
preciative, and numerically small
when the merit of the attraction Is
considered, saw Nathan Hale" at
the Cour last night. The stage
settings showed to better advantage
than In the Opera house last season,
and the last set In which the break
of day Is very realistically depicted,
was particularly artistic. The play
Is familiar and 1t Is unfortunate
that the necessity for being histor-
allyic correct should involve a dis
appointing denoument, from dra
matte standpoint. The work OF
Howard Kyle and Florence Smyth
In the leading roles, was beyond
criticism, and of the most
charming bits of acting In the play
was their leave taking on the eve
of Hale's execution. The produc
ton was notable from the fact that
souvenir books of the play were
distributed among the ladies'
Wheeling Register.
