Hoyt has become a guarantee that any
play that bears his Ilame as author will
please the public. The popular pulse is a
delicate one to feel. A great many dra-
matte authors place their literary finger

scribe for the patient public. and in the
majority of cases without success, but Mr..
Hoyt must assuredly be possessed of a
more delicate touch than b the ns oth erSf be be

MT r1.- 1.r1 r,4,l1 ooarr1
William Barry. who will be seen in his
greatest success, The Rising Generation"
the last half of this week at English's
Opera House, the encouragement which his
merit as an actor undoubtedly deserves.
Mr.. Barry may be fairly considered among
the best comedians. Indeed, in his por-
trayal- of the role OF the American Irish
man, who retains his warmth, the wit, the
native humor of his native land, he is al
most peerless. Mr.. Barry's freshman does
not AFFECT the unnatural sentiment or ro-
manticism which so often discolor and spoil
no aiming beyond the character. 1t is the
common man, hasty or temper and not
lacking In the grossness which necessarily
belongs to such q person. Mr.. Barry is
surrounded by a large company, and among
them. are his daughter. Miss Lydia Barry,
whose singing is the gem of the musical
Miss Eva Vincent, Joseph Davis,
Samuel NJ. Forest and that clever coined
ian, James NJ. Manning. The musical
numbers and speclalties introduced by. the
are new. The scenery IN Tine
Rising Generation is attractive.

selected plays that have won her fame, and
gives the characters in which she stands
pre-eminently alone. Miss Morris comes TO
the Grand Opera House on Friuay and Sat
urday next, .OctA1s and IS. and will open

Miss Moulton." The one new play of her
which she Will present on Sat
