A TEXAS sTBR

Hoyt's - Texas steer" opens an en-
gagement at the Opera House next
Wednesday night This famous satlri-
cal comedy took the whole country by
storm several seasons ago. 1t was pro
duced In New York and had the un-
precedented run OF 400 nights When
at last New Workers 'reluctantlyi al
lowed it to tour, "a Texas Steer., en-
tered on a series of. successessaltd ova-
lions all over the country which has
never found a parallel in the history
OF the stage The comedy is generally
considered as the masterpiece Of the
most prolific comedy-writer in Amer
lea. Certain il is that in none Of his
later pieces has Hoyt excelled the deli
cate vet powerful manner in which he
tells the story OF "a Texas Steer" His
satire is apparent to all. but never
vulgar, It is orushingly effective, YET
so happily put as to be devoid OF any
unpleasantness. The play is brimfu
Of fun, also contains a charming ele
ment Of romance in which the famou
character "Bossy" figures. All TIT
principal roles are exquisitely handled
and have been widely initiated by othe
writer's. IN itself a fact fattering Il
the extreme. The presenting compan
insures 3 splendid performance.

SO much has been said about this play
that there IS curiosity 10 see II and II
It Is anything Ike the amusing work
that it Is claimed to be its success is
easily understood Individually Mr..
Crane is said To be at his hest in this
work. having enc of those characters
to impersonate IN whichsthere is a call
for that unctiousness and comedy
spirit that he depicts and expresses
with so much skill. The play is in
three acts and its scenes are laid in
New York. All OF the humor is brought
about through the efforts OF a wealthy
old man to teach his son, who is a
good deal Of brainy ass, some com
mon sense lessons in regard to money
The work made q most substantial hit
in New York and SIS said to be a very
commendable addition to the clean
