Polish Dramatic Club Stages a Play
Dziennik Chicagoski, Apr. 30, 1894
Last night's plays, entitled "Dzieciaki" (The Kids) and "Szkoda Wasow" (My Poor Mustache), staged by the [Polish] Dramatic Club in the hall near Bradley Street, did not draw a large audience but artistically it was excellent, which is rare, and may be said to have been a great success.
In both plays all artists played in a professional manner. Mrs. Rose Kwasigroch played the role of a beautiful girl in "The Kids." She played like an accomplished artist, so well that even a first-class American or Polish stage would have been proud of her acting. Mr. [S.] Zahajkiewicz, who, as we know from other sources, is very popular among children, played the role of grandfather splendidly. Oszwalkowski, who played the role of the pleasant Lunio in "My Poor Mustache," was also a great success. All amateurs played excellently. Mr. Zahajkiewicz portrayed characteristically the humorous Anzelm. Czekala, as the comical Orgon, was so funny that he could make a dead man laugh. P. J. Kedzierski played the role of Erast admirably. It should be added that 2Miss R. Zukowski, who had the role of Dorothy, and Miss W. Chlebowski, who had the role of Emilia, played their parts as usual--exquisitely. The singing was splendid.
It is a pity, we repeat once more, that such a small audience saw a performance which was such a success.
