See the terminology for 'add' (use the RenderAppTerminology applet to
render it as HTML):
add(...) -- add one or more files to a playlist
list of Alias -- the file(s) to add
[to=InsertionLoc] -- the location of the added file(s)
Result: k.track -- reference to added track(s)
Try:
from Carbon.File import FSSpec
itunes.add(FSSpec('/Users/kier/Desktop/hall.mp3'),
to=itunes.sources['Library'].playlists['myPlayList'])

Notes:
1. The type shown for the 'to' parameter appears to be incorrect (I
tried using an insertion location and iTunes raised an error), but
works with a reference to the playlist as you were doing. (Broken
terminology resources and flawed or buggy implementations can be the
bane of the application scripter's life, and Apple's own applications
are less than perfect.)
2. The Apple Event Manager includes coercions for FSSpec->Alias and
item->list-of-item, which gives some flexibility in what you can pass
it, so use an FSSpec as that's easiest (I've no idea how to
instantiate Carbon.File.Alias and the documentation isn't very
helpful).
3. Unlike the standard 'make' command, there isn't a special case for
'add' that'd allow you to write insertionloc.add(fss), so for now
you're stuck with the formal version: app.add(fss, to=insertionloc)
