"The Man From Mexico"

Missoula, Jan. 31.-Although his
name was not printed in particularly
large letters on the bills when FL. A. Du
Souchets farce The Man from Mexico"
was originally produced at Hoyt's
theater, New York, Willie Collier in
the title role almost carried away the
honors from adapter Du Souchet him
self, according to all reports. 1t is said
that he furnished a character sketch
which was droil, artistic and distinctly
admirable from every point OF view.
Nat Goodwin, it Will be remembered,
was unable to make anything out of a
version of this French piece some time
ago, and it is only justice to Mr.. Col
lier to say that he gets more laughs out
of his part than Charles Wyndham did
when he appeared in another version of
it, Fourteen Days which, in it's day
was pronounced a success. The NV
York Sun makes the following criti-

fled as those of James Dowd, a miner,
and John Blake, a Mormon teamster
from Utah. Blake leaves wife and
children. Both men had been drinking
for several days and on Thursday night
disappeared. Three Mexicans, who were
in town that night drinking and gam
bling, also disappeared, and it is sup
posed that they murdered the men. The
murderers built fire near the bodies
and burned the bloody clothing. Part
of a letter, written in Spanish, was
found in the ashes. The Mexicans have

Hoyt's "a Bunch of Keys"

Missoula, Jan. 31.-Hoyt's "A Bunch
of Keys" polished up to date, will be
presented at Maguire's Feb. 3.
The piece is well known to the theater-
going public, and nearly everyone has
either seen or heard of "A Bunch of
Keys" the funniest of all comedies,
which abounds in the most ridiculous
situations, witty sayings and music of
the kind that receives four or five en-
cores. The company consists of mostly
all new talent this season, and headed
by Ada Bothner, as Teddy. There is
an abundance of bright music and
songs, pretty costumes and appropriate
stage setting, etc..
There is hardly city in America
that has a theater where there is a
theater- going public but what the name
of Charles H. Hoyt is almost a house
hold word. This we'll known author is
to degree the father of farce comedy.
The first time his name was brought
prominent before the public was when
"A Bunch of. Keys" was first pro-
duced. The Keys" was a success, and
it has made more people laugh than any
other production in farce comedy. Its
annual visit is always looked forward
to with pleasant anticipations in the
cities where it has been before, because
those who have witnessed the perform
ance know a good long laugh is in store
for them. Theatergoers never grow
tired of the comedy. "A Bunch OF
Keys will this season be produced on a
grand scale by Gus Bothner, who has
engaged an excellent company to pro-
duce this excellent comedy. The piece
has been polished up to date, and spec
iaI attention has been given to the
specialties, which will embrace several
novel features, among which a burles-
que will be given by the Acme quar-
tette. The musical numbers will also
be a feature. The company is headed
by Ada Bothner, who will appear as
Teddy"
