IRVING PLACE THEATRE.
Der Veg zur Holle. /"

= For the closing week of the season the Irving
Place Theatre stock company has elected to pre-
sent new farce comedy by Gustav Kadelburg, en-
titled Der Veg zur Hole C'The Way to Hell'D.
The piece hardly justfes the title, which is likely
TO false expectations OF melodramatic de-
pravity. The path to perdition is very vaguely
lined. The piece is, in fact, a merry burlesGue on
that particular form of the drama Of sensation
which pictures the destructive fascnations of the
stage There is a Spanish dancer who wants to
retain the love of former admirer, happily
married, and who insists that he visit her least
day in the year. He carries out the contract
much against his Will, and many amusing compli-
cations result from the falsehOods told by him
by his father-in-law, who also admires the dancer,
which falsehoods are. OF course, exposed by an
acute and enterprising mother-in-law
The piece IS bright, interesting and we'll played.
II greatly pleased large audience.
