The Texas Steer.
Hoyt's amusing political satire, "a
Texas Steer" which comes to the Port
land Theatre this evening for two
nights engagement seems to be ono of
those plays blessed of fate and fortune
which run season after season without
diminution of public. eagerness to see
and enjoy them. Its pictures of rural
political scenes, of life at the Capitol, of
the pitfalls and snares awaiting the un-
aoolmatsd Congressman, Of the queer
twists of ofice-holdinR conscience and
the sharks of both sexes and all con-
ditions infesting Washington are laugh
ably oyerdrawn and absol utely highly
colorei but in all their purposed exag-
geration are lines and tints of truth
which no one can fail to recognize. Nor
are the types unfamiliar in real life, alb
surd as they are made to appear. The
fate Of the unsuccessful oficesesker in
Washington, It's picture as vast grave
of disappointed hopes and broken lives
is bit of pathos effective for Its farcical
surroundings and impr essive from It's
simple and homely truth. AS to the
work of the play no small part of it's
continued SUCCESS is due to the cleverness
af It's situations and the wit of it's dia-
logue. The company that comes to Port

as one Of the best that has been seen in
