Mr.. Charles H. Hoy, has sent another OF
his farces to the Seattle theater. and has
sustained the reputation he enjoys In this
city by making the production adequate in
every respect The Hoy,ean trade mark is
plainly distingaishahie. and the name Is
blown in the bottie--or. in fact, III the
many bottles aud their efects-which are
en- evidence through the three acts. for a
Stranger in New York" deals largely With
the annual French bail and Its riotous &C
compartment of champagne. Everything
that Hoyt does IS hilarious TO n degree.
and In the hands of the unusually good
company that Is now interpreting this par
ticuiar farce ii goes with a fizz and pop
that makes one look To see If the cork
made mark on the ceiling. The state
ment is made tina, Hoyts own work Is
hilarious, but that does not prevent the
snap and the bouquet disappearing when
IL passes out from under his direction.
Consequently the sins of the past. which
have come 10 Seattle with Hoyt's name as
author tagged TO them are simply his
children, with the results of evil asSocia-
items before they have grown old enough
TO take care of themselves. "A Stranger
In New York Is under the original man.
agement. and that accounts for its excel
lent staging. The central incident around
which the farce IL built Is the ludicrous
mistake in the identity of a Chicago man
who goes to New York TO have good
time There is nothing intricate In the
story and IL Is lost sight or In much of the
second act, which Is largely given mp To
speciaites of a high order. Mr.. Joseph
Coyne. who appears in the title role, Is
decidedly original in his work. The COM
edy .or which he is responsible is not
forced and his contribution to the even
Ing of boisterous fun was substantial. MIR,
Harry Rogers as l. Collier Downe, of Chi
cage. was second only in importance to
Mr.. Coyne. The remainder Of the cast,
and particularly Mr. Maiey as Baron
Sands Miss Boyd as Hattie and Miss
Bridges as Virginia Pryde were equal to
the demands made upon them. There was
plenty OF singing and dancing. The house
was large. and the demands for encores
many. "A Stranger In New York" closes
its engagement tomorrow night.
