Hackett nre- sen M hereTevening of Feb. 8, for the first time in 15* .M City, George H.Broad- ,iiNt'3 four act satirical romantic fantasy, -The Orowxt Prince *■ which first saw the llibt at the Court Square Theatre, Spring- field Mass., oft Dec. 25 last As Mr. Broad- l.urs't bas labeled his play a satire, a license "o- wield a pen which occasionally turns out tesnue. •■ Mir. Hackett referred In a cur- tain speech to a production made, here vears ago .of a. clever (satire, and ex- presses the hope that in Mr. Broad- hdr«t's play a worthy composition on the MM order would be found. With this duly impressed upon the mind of the auditor, considerable humor is to be found In the heroics' Of the play, and as there Is a rather nretty lOve story to claim attention, some good comedy and entertaining dialogue, a success was scored by play and star. The fourth and last act held the Interest re- markably well, and the action was well sustained until the final curtain, which Is a state of affairs well worthy of comment. Its story tells of how Robert, crown Brlnce of .Morflntla, meets Cecelia, queen S Khodoland. at a ball, and though they have been betrothed since their early childhood, they have never seen each other, and. still In the dark as to each others iaentitv, they fall In love at first sight It then transpires that the Duke of Burnell, of Khodoland, Is Implicated In schemes to kill Robert and ascend the throne of Morunlla, and he secures possession of valuable papers giving ,plan& Of Morantla's defences. Robert turns highwayman, holds up the duke, takes the papers away from him, and being seen bv the queen In this high handed act is immediately suspected by her as being an or- dinary brigand. But finally, after many trifels, In which the queen aids him on several occasions, Robert at length convinces ber that he is the crown prince, and Is In turn brought to realize that she Is queen, the usual happy ending then being in order. Mr. Hackett, whose most conspicuous suc- cesses havo beeh made In costume parts, ap- peared to splendid advantage In the leading role, and did some very good comedy work, as well as scoring In the more strenuous situations. He never ranted, having pitched his voice to a subdued key, and his acting was particularly good where a com- edy scene fell, to his lot. Chflj-lotte Walker, In a Juliet costume, made a dfttnty, girlish heroine, and played with charming In- own company, la the Charles B. Blaney and Howard Hall's melo- Tbls company has been drama, "The Child Slaves of New York" opened, to n large audience, night of 8. The play is full of heart Interest and interest- ing situations.
