"A Family Affair.""

Following an adequate and extreme
ly satisfactory production of Hazel
Kirke," "A Family Affair." will be pro-
.duced this evening at the Island Is
land park theater and will continue
for the balance of the week, with a
matinee Saturday. "A Family Affair"
is perhaps the best farce comedy writ
ten in the past quarter century. 1t is
as extremely funny as it was on the
occasion of its first performance in
New York City some years ago. Four
love affairs involve everybody on the
stage and the admirable way which
these different heart schemes work
themselves out is an example in play
writing that authors of present day
farces would do well to study closely.
One can trace in "A Family Affair" the
beginning of a dozen different ideas
that have since made good in other
productions The company deserves
the loyal support of the theater going
public for the excellent manner IN
which these different plays are pro-
duced and the fact that such excellent
performances are the result OF but
three rehearsals on each piece makes
