A Day and a Night.

Hoyt's latest production. "a Day and
a Night" will be seen at the Lyceum
on Friday evening. "A Day and a
Night" Is written to amuse and enter
tain and not to instruct. 1t achieves
its whole object. 1t moves with a
dash. and it keeps its audience in a fit
of merriment all evening.
A great deal of fun Is created around
the character of Ada Mari, who is en-
gagged to Marble Hart. She is a re-
tired actress. whose longing for the
stage lures her back to her old theate:'
friends, where she encounters Marble,
and is compelled to disguise herself,
put on short skirts and smoke cigar
cites to throw him off the track. She
then teaches him how to make love,
and when he finds her In her real
character in the last act she profits by
her lesson.
