ROM Broadway to the Bronxy—that's the twonty-iv yours’ history of Dffie Hileler and ‘Hazel Kirke.” There stolo across tho northern boundary of theatreland this week the same little woman, with the eame Httle play, that made ‘@he Madison Square Theatre famous, and her name and that. of Steele )Mackaye’s epochal success ford and familiar household words in every cofmer of the country. Memories? Miss Elisler’s head, now threaded with silver, 1s filled with them. “We speak of the did days, but they are always yourlg,” ehe sald with A reminiscent smile, “Yes, itis a far ory from the Madison Square Theatre “tothe Metropolis ‘Theatre, but happily the appeal, of ‘Hesel Kirke’ seems | proof against time and place. The heart and the home are everywhere, and | an@ it ts because of thig that “Hazel. Kirke’ has never found itself among i CS ‘ |, “But plays ‘have changed.” i “Yes, and they ere changing now. They’are finding their way into ‘etmple and wholesome paths again; I am sure of that. And J,” with a ‘| Swhimsteat smile, “am breaking the-tce, I am beginning all over again. We } @re coming back to the ‘Hazel Kirkes.’ The public long ago tired of trying | 0 solve the problem play; it is sick of solled heroines, It has also become js@atiated, with spectacle, Commercialism has ‘reached tts limit, Immense \ productions no longer impress, no longer surpriee us, The simple, the watural, with a heart throbbing beneath its plain garb, is drawing that great | spoiled child, the public, to itYonce more, An instance of this was the simple little play in which Miss Maude Adams appeared last year. Her play for this season is another indication of the direction the drama is taking, It is these signs of the times that have Jed me to bring ‘Hazel Kirke’ out of re- trement. And I am satisfied'that the public is ready for other ‘Hazels.’* cd a s a ad s a s ID you know that it was one of those accidents of theatrical fate that placed the role of Hazel Kirke in the hands of He Bilsler? “It was purely chance,” she related. “I was cawt for the part of Dolly Dutton, when a difference of opinion betwen the woman who was to have played Hazel, and the manager left the plece vacant. I was suggested forthe part, and I went into the rehearsal with fear and trembling. As every- od depended on our first performance in New York, Mr. Mackaye was Ddeside himself with anxiety. You may imagine my surprise when, at the end the scond act at rehearsal, he rushed upon the stage and, throwing bis ;, arms about mé—he was a very excitable, impulsive man—cried: ‘God has -went you to me! You do not act Hazel—you are Hasel!’ “The su of the play is history. We remained at the Madison Square, swith downstairs seats selling at $3, fore year, playing straight through the L#ummer to packed houses.
