to afford the distinguished actor a
successor to his famous "Disraeli."
In presenting a story of the notable
characters of Washington's admins
tration with its prominent figures such
as Monroe, Jefferson, and Alexander
Hamilton, 1t is pointed out that the
authors have not overlooked the So
cial and domestic side OF the great
Secretary's career. and have blended
with 1t interesting delineations Of
members of his home circle, and with
IL a tale of intrigue on which the
crisis of the play turns. Hamilton
is in four acts with scenes laid in
Philadelphia. The producers, Klaw q
Erlanger and George c. Tyler, are said
to have taken full advantage Of the
opportunities offered by the period,
the closing years of the eighteenth CEN

scenic and costume investiture.

promptly booked him and his terrible

loudly praised; for it was my haunting
dread that he might come back to

cessful years, he began receiving Of

success OF no small proportions in
