Hoyt's "a Trip to Chinatown" at the
Park.

Hoyt's sparkling farce. "a Trip to China

at the Park Theater yesterday by two
larger audiences If 1t had been a brand new
production. Nor could the piece have been
more thoroughly enjoyed. The popularity
OF this play is remarkable unless one re-
fleets that the greatest care is exercised
to keep it always fresh and up to date.
