ably be Mrs. Hoyt's last year as an
actress. On the one hand Mrs. Hoyt
has popular applause, while on the other
the pleasure of home life is presented:
Alan Dale said OF her acting: when /

failed to blind Mrs. Hoyt to the joys Of a
happy home life, and as conse.
quence, the bookings of "A Confronted
Woman" for next season have been can
ceiled.
This comedy i'm which Mrs. Hoyt is
starred is another striking example OF Alr.
Hoyt's marvellous faculty for choosing
good titles. From.the day he wrote his
first comedy he has been master In this
art There may not be much In name
rs applied To individuals, but 1t Is an ar
gury of victory for play. IL is not un-
usual for manager 20 get hold of a
fairly good play, and yet have IL killed
before its production by having n poor
title. Every body Is pred;sposed to play
by seeing good title. When man
reads "A Contented Woman" on the bill

there is no such creature as contented

realizes his intention he IL on the way TO
tho theater. Mr.. Hoyt speaking of
titles recently said: THE title must not
be considered the whole battle. The play
must be in keeping with the title. When
we advertise A Contented Woman that
is what the audience expects. We must
not at any time distract their attention
from the main theme, by dwelling on
something else. But above this question
Of titles is another consideration. In the
theatrical as in other business the people
must be given their moneys worth. You
must not lure them to the theater Inv
catchy titles and fiattering promises, un-
less you mean to give 4 dollars worth of
entertainment for every dollar invested
after you get them there. IL takes years
to establish "A reputation for doing this,
but you can shatter 1t in week. Spend
money judiciousiy, but literally and the
return Is sure. Never break faith with
your patrons is my rule of action. I"
Possibly this is the reason that such firms
prosper despite the cry of hard times.

this way he varies the moods and emotions

pletely successful in every respect. Mr..
Keith, with characteristic generosity, has
donated tho use of keith's for the entire
week, and the g. A. II. committee are
naturally extremely grateful for tho thoat-
rical magnate's unbounded llberaltty.

the hearts of the war Vets. y
