For several years the name Of Charles
Hoyt has had a magic sound to the ears
OF American theatre-goers. Always
fresh unhackneycd and filled with new
and unconventional situations, odd and
mirth provoking his merry comedies
have long held a first place in the af
fections of a great portion of the play
Eocrs Of this country. These two plays
reflect the talented authors personality
more than anything else he ever wrote.
They teen with crisp dialogue and wit
~ filings that give them the true Hoy
tan flavor The unexpected is always
happening and no sooner does one situa-
lion 20 by than the auditor is suddenly
plunged into another.

There is a romance attached TO Miss
kennedys career. She comes from
distinguished old Southern family, whose
fortunes We're impoverished at the close
of the Civil War necesstating the re-
.noval Of the whole family TO Australia
In this far-off country, Miss KENNEDY
spent her later childhood days and the
first part Of budding womanhood She
became an expert horseWoinan. spending
her summers on her fathers vast cattle
ranges in Tasmania. going TO school IN
winter time. in the city. AT the early
Gge of II she manifested an unquench-
able desire for a stage career and joined
a company touring the Australian pro
yinccs It was not long before her |
clever work came 10 the notice Of VII |
hanson & Musgrove, the big firm of |
Australian managers. and ere long Miss
Kennedy was entrusted with the most !
important parts in the big productions
which this firm made in Sydney and |
Melbourne.
Miss Kennedy then went to london, |
playing in the support of such stars as !
Beerbohn Tree, John Hare, L. S Viii |
lard and Henry Irving.
BY this time, however an uncontroll- |
able impulse to visit the land of her |
birth took possession of the young ac- |
trcss and Miss Kennedy arrived in New |
York last spring. Miss Kennedy Sc |
cured control of Captain Jinks of The |
Horse Marines from MIR. Clyde Fitch, |
the part of Madame Trentoni, offering
an opportunity 10 display emotion as well |
as to enact comedy. 1t would be hard |
to find role giving Miss Kennedy the |
opportunity TO display her ability as
well as this character Of the Prima Don

uine love troubles afford such splendid /
theme for the playwright
