"Mistress Nell" from George Cochrane Hazelton. United States Representative (1832-1922).

George Cochrane Hazelton was born on January 20, 1868, at Boscobel, Wisconsin, United States. His father was of Scotch-Irish and his mother of Dutch descent. The earlier years of his life were spent in the vicinity of his birthplace where, according to his own statement, he lived mostly out-of-doors, fishing, hunting, and riding. After his father was elected to Congress, he spent his winters in Washington.
In 1884 George entered Greylock Institute at South Williamstown, Massachusetts, specializing in the study of Latin and Greek, history and mathematics. After two years at Greylock he matriculated at Columbian (later George Washington) University in Washington. He received the degree of LL. B. in 1895 and LL. M. in 1896.
George Hazelton decided to become an actor in order to acquaint himself with the technique of the drama, for he had ambitions to become a dramatist. He acted various roles in Edwin Booth’s company and was with Booth in Brooklyn on the occasion of his last appearance in 1891. He subsequently played in Helena Modjeska’s company for two seasons, returning after that to Columbian University to study law. In 1897 he published The National Capitol: Its Architecture, Art, and History.
For some years after he was admitted to the bar he built up a considerable legal practice in Philadelphia and New York, but the persistence of his early desire to write plays at last forced him to give up his practice. The first of Hazelton’s plays to be produced was The Raven (1895), a biographical play about Poe which served as the basis for a novel, published in 1909. In October 1901, Mistress Nell, one of his most popular dramas, opened with Henrietta Crosman in the title role. This he also converted into a novel. Neither Captain Molly (1902) nor The Cracksman (1908) was very successful in the theatre.
In 1912 came The Yellow Jacket, a “play in the Chinese manner, ” written in collaboration with J. Harry Benrimo. Although it attracted some attention on the occasion of its original production in New York and aroused the enthusiasm of practically all the critics, it was so delicately acted and charmingly unemphatic that it could not attract large paying audiences. Somewhat later it was revived, the acting was made more obvious and “pointed, ” and the production became financially successful. Among his last dramatic works was an adaptation of Pierre Louys’ Aphrodite, produced in New York in 1919.
George Hazelton's most well-known play was The Yellow Jacket, which he co-authored in 1912 with Joseph Henry McAlpin Benrimo. Besides being translated into a dozen languages and acted in as many foreign countries, it is one of the few plays of American authorship prior to 1920 that deserves to be remembered.

A romantic by temperament, Hazelton was attracted by the more colorful personalities and epochs of history. Neither an original thinker nor a great dramatist, he was none the less a fastidious writer and a picturesque personality.
Hazelton married Byrd C. Quin in 1899.
