earned with his magic pen he built his
ideal home. To this home he brought a

here with her in blissful happiness. She
bore him a child, and both mother and
child died.
From that day the cloud that had al

Then he closed the house at CharlestoWn,
went to New York and was lost in for
getfulness bought at. fearful cost, the
cost of mental balance.
No work was too hard for him to do,
no strain too great, no pleasure too in

From this dearly bought period of for
getfulness came the Hoyt of today.
No more beautiful spot could be found
for a country home than that where
stands the house which witnessed the
happiest days in the life of Charles Hoyt.
In the village street at Charlestown, a
long and wide thoroughfare, as broad as
the broadcast city boulevard. lined with
rows of majestic elns and carpeted on
either side of the roadway with green
sward, neatly clipped, one finds the ideal
New England village scene.
When success came to Hoyt after
years of struggle his mind turned tt

Ten or twelve years ago Charles H.
Hoyt was a very busy man. He had
written successful farces of a new kind
and was engaged on others. His name
was on the theatrical lip. Company after

ownership. Fortune smiled. One day in
Kansas City Mr.. Hoyt walked north on

young man. says the st. Louis Republic

him.
And everybody looked. Murphy was
tall. young, dark and handsome. He had
achieved a great success as Maverick

Hoyt were much dressed on this oc-
casion-and there was talk to the effect
that they were making $50 a minute
This sort of success went on. Hoyts
plays were all well received. Such ex-

glitters is not gold. and so she Is living
here under an assumed name, and has
quietly given 1t out that she is a daugh-
ter of a millionaire.
Another character of the play is dry
goods clerk, who is spending his vacation
at the resort. He too is believer In the
old adage, that every man should look out
for himself and adopting the very aris-
tocratic name of Lord Get-the-Coin
makes elaborate plans to win for a wife
lady who has a private fortune, in
tending thereby to end his bondage in
measuring ribbons for a livelihood. He
is very much impressed with Gertie, who
seems to be a real aristocrat, and a very
warm friendship follows between them.
All goes well until one day the bogus
lord becomes inquisitive regarding the
relatives of his sweetheart.
This produces complications. Gertie
finds it an immediate necessity to produce
her father. Finally the idea strikes her
to hire Hennessy, the piano mover, to
act as a counterfeit of her paternal rela-
tive. She decides upon this plan, and
early in the play Hennesy, after most
advantageous bargain for him, assumes
paternal relations of the Vanderbilt
household. Gertie's troubles really begin
from this moment. Spike means well, but
proves to be hard y the papa for so charm

To make mates worse, Gertie's money

made by the quandom father with the bo

temporary embarrassment, but discloses
the real social status of the alleged peer.
The dry goods clerk receives his congo
quickly, and Gertie, in three acts of fun,
has learned to regard Spike, in spite of
his rough exterior, in a most tender way,

"a WISE GUY"
Farce Comedy at the Grand to Open
Regular Season.

Farce Comedy at the Grand to Open
Regular Season.
Local theatergoers will doubtless read
with much pleasure the announcement
that commencing tonight at S:15 the reg
ular season of the Grand opera house
will commence, presenting as the opening
attraction Of the fall term the well known
and successful comedy, "a Wise Guy"
which comes with the Endorsement of
wonderful business and most hattering
press comment in the East.
"a Wise Guy" owes its authorship to
George Cohan, one of the celebrated
family by that name, and a very clever
and original writer of humorous stage
compositions. "a Wise Guy has been
favorably Endorsed by the critics of the
East, and commented upon as one Of
the most original and most satisfying
farcical creations given to the stage since
Charles H. Hoyt wrote his master COM
edy, "a Trip to Chinatown"
While no special claim is made by the
author for the plot of the farce, yet there
is said to exist more than is found in
the average play of the kind, and suff1-
Client to connect coherently and with per-
feet sequence the various incidents,
OlimaXes and situations of the play. The
main interest of the farce centers upon
the title role, that of Spike Hennessy, a
man of Drawn and mussle, piano mover
and a bluff, big-hearted chap, a regular
diamond In the rough. All of the action
of the play occurs at the famous water
ing resort, Long Branch, N. J.. The
first act occurs at an exterior scene Of
the Busse house, and acts two and three
in the parlor of the same hosiery. Spike
Hennessy, the mover of pianos, is at
Long Branch, and finds trade in his line
very dull. At the Busse house is register
ed a charming young lady, blessed with
the attractive title of Gertie Vanderbilt
AS a matter of fact Gertie is an actress
and the companies in which she has been
wasting her time have not been of a
quality of either ben Hur,' ''Shenan-
dOah" or THE Christian" Her expert

The reports in certain newspapers that
the German kaiser will send to the Paris
exposition, to the musical autograph sec
ton, the original of composition from
an opera which he has written are in
correct The kaiser has never even
thought of writing an opera, and he is
not in the habit of writing down his
compositions. He whistles them as he
walks up and down his room, and one
of his aids-de-camp plays them note by
note on the plano. They are then taken
down on paper and the necessary instru-
he composes. His majesty, who cannot
play the piano, is fond in his leisure mo-
ments of whistling any tune that takes
his fancy, accompanied on the piano by
one of his aids-de-camp. This pleasant
duty used to be performed for the most
part by the present Gen. Count Dietrich
Won Huelesen-Haeseter.
