Hoyt's "a Texas Steer" comes to the
Odeon next Monday evening, Dec. 16.
1t is generally conceded that this piece
lis the cleverest comedy ever written by
the late Mr.. Hoyt, and its theme. hing
ing upon the trickery Of national poll
tics, is always OF timely interest. The
story is that Of a husky Texas cattle
raiser who is nominated and elected to
congress against his own wishes. and
lis forced to accept the honor at the
point of revolvers in the hands of a
mob Of enthusiastic admirers. He ac-
cedes and takes his family to Washing
ton, where their incongruity with tho
fashionable atmosphere In which they
find themselves affords the famous
playwright splendid opportunity for
plenty of that contagious humor for
which he was noted. Seats are now on
sale at the Odeon box office.
