every device for gymnastic action ana

Hoyt has written another play in "A

sented for the first time In this city at

The best thing about the Hoyt shows is
that they are all 80 different he never
writes "A play that bears the least resem-
blance 10 another. save in the fact that
they are all OF a satirical tinge. and thus
II is that when the announcement of
new play by Hoyt is made. the public
pays its money with perfect assurance
that it will have an opportunity Of wit
Messing something unique. No American
author has displayed such versatility in
securing "A ground work for his plays as
Mr. Hoyt. He can turn about In almost
any part OF the country and discover ma
terial from which he can draw the in
SEPARATION necessary TO the completion Of
a comedy, and once with the idea-well.
everybody knows what he can do with 1t
in the way OF embodying 1t In play.
"A Stranger In New York has a plot.
but II is only strong enough to allow the
author TO make amusing situations, write
bright dialogues. and introduce many
pleasing specialties.
The company presenting the play Is one
OF the best that Hoyt and Mckee have
upon tire road. and that Is saying a great
deal.

Simple rules outside of the au-

which confront them, and particu-

fail to fit all cases.

pupils OF country school. He wrote
on the blackboard the sentence, 1.-The
fly has wings" and asked class
what part of speech each word was.
They passed the 1.-The" without seri-
GUS trouble.
what part of speech is 'fya'"
