If n farce be said to demonstrate any

the play is whimsical as far as 1t goes
hut like the costumes of the female
characters, 1t is not quite ''far reaching
enough, and a number of specialties
which are notable chiefly for their vul-
garity. serve to fill up the waste places.
II is two years since Mr.. Hoyt produced
his last play. "a Black Sheep" when
has been phenomenally successful, but
his effort to satirize the fair sex in poll
tics. a subject which would seem TO DE
particularly fertile in suggestion, eN-
hibits a great falling off in that brilliant
technic which has been characteristic OF
this playwrights work. The audience
