HOyT's LITTLE JOKE.

Here is Hoyt story which Billy De-
we're Of THE Black Sheep" company
takes great pleasure In telling:
when The Black Sheep was first
produced, Ave years ago, II was brought
out at the Boston theater. II had run
for five weeks and was big success
before Hoyt ever saw II. one night the
word leaked back Of the scenes that
Hoyt WIS out in front watching the
play. 1hat put us all on our mettle,
and W. played our hardest to please
him. Before the curtain fell Hoyt sent
word back for all the members Of the
company to wait after the show was
over, as he wished to see u.s. We ex-
pected. OF course, a fine compliment
for our acting. After the curtain fell he
came back. We were all gathered on
the stage Hoyt, who Is wonderfully
droll man, struck an attitude and be-
gan, In great seriousness:
"Ladles and gentlemen, wish 10
thank you for your good performance.
Your work was excellent. II was good.
In fact, Il was too good ! am proud Of
you. ! am glad that when you know

please me. In fact, you worked too
hard. Your work lacks that air Of
easy carelessness that makes II so with

ftfrhe a fg n

bloom. Then its color is a beautiful
pink. Later II turns to a graylsh blue.
and in that period It Is less priced. Al
last It turns yellow, and In that stage
It Is wholly neglected. Now, ] don't
mean to tell YOU folks that you are
yellow. but you are fast approaching
that eraylsh blue tint. Good night

past ten years has New York witnessed
two simultaneous productions 50 widely
divergent In point Of merit, In quality
and IN propriety one Is pure as snow,
with not one suggestion or one innuon-
do which the most vulgar mind could
dlstort into improperly; the others
very llfeblood is improperly. With
out II the play could not be. Without
It the star would not be accepted for a

It has ever been my bad fortune TO see

from the first act TO the last TO give
point 70 the nasty illusions by appear
ing to create the impression that they
are similar 10 what the public recog-
nlzes as the real episodes In the career
of Mrs. Langtry. II this view or the
matter is taken by theater goers, Mrs.
Langtry has no one to blame but her
self, and, while II Is not the province
Of a critic to go into the private life OF
any one appealing for public favor, II
Is decidedly within the scope Of crit
iclsm TO call attention TO any such
barefaoed attempt TO lend Fictitious
value TO a play through the personality
Of the player, be 1t good or bad
II Is a difficult matter TO tell the story
OF The Degenerates" in language
which will not shock readers OF ordl-
nary decency. Mrs. Trevelyan Is a lady
with a varied assortment Of pasts. Her
life has evidently been so notified that
the playwright does not even attempt
TO go into details with reference TO IT,
He does. however show how she is re-
garded by her neighbors. and he also
makes quasi defense by means OF a
casual intimation that II Is foolish 10
believe all one hears Of a womans char
acter, The half hearted scheme Of
making the woman appear less bad
thaa she really Is to those whose sensl-
bllities would be shocked by appreciate
ing her at her fun worth. or, rather, her
lack Of worth. Is as transparent as the
play itself ls uninteresting. Although
Mrs, Treyelyan does at times act In a
manner 10 Justify the theory that she
is merely unconventional and perhaps

no one. The play IS intended 70 be
filthy, and every effort and every scene

The announcement that the British
university athletes will come over next
summer to give Yale and Harvard a
return set OF games on track and field
has been received with good deal Of
satisfaction. The fact that numbers
Of our athletes, representing many
kinds Of sports, will compete abroad
this year had induced the feeling that
In the matter Of international competl-
ton the home stayers would have little
to encourage them this year. The fact
that the Cambridge and oxford teams
viii make the trip Is therefore likely to
excite a great deal Of interest in track
and field games during the months
preceding the contest.
Nothing Is known definitely as 10
where the games will take place. II
they are not held at either Cambridge
or New Haven, they may. be pulled of
at Manhattan field, New York, which
s leased by Columbia. II seems 10 me,
however, that the unusual amount Of
money that Is now being spent In re-
modelling and fixing up Soldiers field
is an indication that the Harvard men
hope to have the events take place at
Cambridge. This would be a good place
for the games. II for no other reason
than that 10000 spectators can be ac-
commodated there.
