Honiis STREET THEATRE 
“Kismet,” with Otis Skinner in the 
picturesque role of Hajj, the Beggar 
of Bagdad, is now in the third week 
of its run at the Hollis Street Thea- 
tre, Boston. The splendid imperson- 
ation given by the star, the perfect act- 
ing of the large company and the 
magnificient mounting provided by 
Klaw & Erlanger and Harrison Grey 
Fiske, have won the same enthusias- 
tic praise in Boston as in New York, 
Chicago, and other American cities. 
In all his ambitious and successful 
career Mr. Skinner has never had a 
role so splendidly suited to his per- 
sonality, his genius and his art as that 
of Hajj. The character, invented by 
Edward Knoblauch, but based upon 
a number of characters to be found 
in the “Arabian Nights” is essentially 
romantic and vigorous, and yet is pos- 
sessed of a humor that is ever pres- 
ent and that lends a human quality to 
the Beggar of Bagdad which endears 
him to the spectator in spite of his 
many and various crimes. 
That he possesses such skill and 
such personal qualities is splendidly 
evidenced by Mr. Skinner in his por- 
trayalof the character. His achieve- 
ment:in this role establishes him firm- 
ly in the position of the foremost ro- 
mantic actor of America at the pres- 
ent. time. 
Owing) to the length of the per- 
formance and the magnitude of the 
production the curtain rises at 7.45 in 
the evening and at 1.45 at the Wednes- 
day and Saturday matinees. 
The coal lands of Alaska have pro- 
duced a great many law suits and in- 
vestigations, but the coal which they 
are said to contain is not on the mar- 
ket in’any quantity. — Boston Adver-
