At its 238//? performance this play had exceeded in the number of its consecutive presen- tatiofis in New York, any similar play ever pro- duced in this country. It is thought therefore that this collectio7i of'^^ooY i^i^'R'E.S'SiO]^'^ illustrating scenes and faces from the drama, may not be altogether uninteresting. Mr. Kelly, the artist — who is favorably known by his illustrations in Harper s, Scribners, St. Nicho- las a?id The Art Interchange — has made studies from life, from members of the company in character. In any other way it would have beeti impossible for him to confine himself to " tender " outlines with- out some sacrifice in drawi?ig, action or composition. As a specimen of typographic art this album is unique. It has been making for nearly three months and is the best work of The Art hiter- change Press. The text is printed on heavy laid paper j the twenty proofs on 100- lb. steel plate paper and the rubricated quotations before each plate on a fine quality of onio?i-skin paper.^^^^^^^^^^ PROGRAMME FOR THE 250TH PRESENTATION : HAZEL KIRKE Madison Square Theatre Illustrations by James E.

STEELE M ACKAYE'S comedy-drama, "Hazel Kirke," has now surpassed in the number of its consecutive presentations in New York city any similar play ever produced in this country. It was originally intended to present it for the first time at the Madison Square Theatre, under the title of '' An Iron Will." Owing, how- ever, to the elaborate construction of the house, and the difficultv encountered in excavating solid rock for the *' Double Stage," the completion of that theatre was delayed. In consequence of this ** An Iron Will " was performed about seventy times in various cities, its initial presentation being made in Providence, R. I., October 27th, 1879, and Phila- delphia, Baltimore, Washington, Brooklyn, and Albany being among the cities visited. The original cast of the play was as follows : Hazel Kirke Miss Effie Ellsler Dolly Button Miss Du Sauld Emily Carringford Mrs. Cecile Rush Mercy Kirke Mrs. Thos. WhiflFen Clara Miss Annie Ellsler DuNSTAN Kirke Mr. C. W. Couldock Arthur Carringford Sir William Magnay PiTTACUS Green Mr. Thos. Whiffen Aaron Rodney Mr. Frank Weston Barney OTlynn Mr. Edw. Coleman Changes in the cast have been made from time to time. The part of Rodney has been filled in turn by Mr. Dominick Murray, Mr. Steele MacKaye and Mr. Aveling ; the part of Arthur by Mr. MacKaye, Mr. Ringgold, Mr. Eben Plympton, and Mr. Gusta- vus Levick ; while Miss Georgia Cay van has relieved Miss Du Sauld as Dolly Dutton ; and a new char- acter, that of Met Miggins has been introduced, which is played by Mr. Jose[)h Frankau. On the evening of Wednesday, February 4th, 1880, the play was presented at the Madison Square Theatre for the first time in New York, and under the name of *' Hazel Kirke." Of its career since then it is unnecessary to speak at length. Its con- tinued run through the sultry Summer months, the sincere commendation of the large audiences that have nightly witnessed it, and, among the lesser things, this illustrated programme, commemorative of its two hundred and fiftieth performance at the Madison Square Theatre, are convincing evi- dence of its unprecedented success.
