been failure and produced therein a
somewhat shady French farce called 1.-THE

The withdrawal of Hoyts latest play,
"a Dog in the Manger,' leaves Joseph
Coyne. "Bill" pevere and George A. Beaue
without engagements for the balance of
the season. but 1t is probable that they will
soon be placed in some of the other Hoyt
and Mckee companies as IL is the custom
of these managers to take care of their
own people, IN IA Dog in the Manger''
Coync played the leading part, A. Jackson
Bright; Devere was Big Bill Cumming
and Beane was cast as Mccormick Valen-
tine. There were lot of other people
in the company. but they were not iden-
tilted with any OF Mr.. Hoyt's successes.
II is said that Mrs. Leslie Carter puts
so much realistic emotionalism Into Zaza
that she makes the matter Of the renewal
Of Charles A. Steyeuson's wardrobe quite
a serious expense. She pulls his coat out
Of shape regardless of expense and rubs
off her make-up OH his shirt front in a
way that makes his laundry bills some
thing fierce. The success of 'ZaEa' has not
made Mr.. Charles Belasco lay down hia
pen. He has Just finished new play
