HARRY GILFOIL ON
HOYTS QUALITIES

Those who see Harry Gilfoil at Keith's
this week in his artistic Characterization
OF Baron Sands would be hard to convince
that he is not the aged. somewhat feeble
"old sport" he pictures. Because Mr.
Gilfoil Is so characteristic and consistent
throughout his Characterization as never
TO let his individuality into Il, he often
fails TO receive credit for his work. In
the green room at Keith's he told a group
Of listeners some anecdotes OF the late
Charles Hoyt. with whose companies Mr..
Gilfoil was connected for 16 years.
There has never been but one Charles
Hoyt," said he. His keen wit and hu-
NOR will be as heartily appreciated a
hundred years from now as when his
plays were first produced. No one ever
talked or walked or thought as he did
| and he never laughed at his own jokes,
| which always made them all the funnier.
He used 10 keep the same people in his
companies several years, and in each
new play would write the characters to
1T certain people.
eve played A Trip to Chinatown in
New York at one theatre 756 times and
every Monday, even after we had played
IL four or five hundred times. we had re-
hearsals. Several OF us grumbled and
asked why rehearsals were necessary.
Picking up a slate, Mr.. Hoyt wrote some
thing on II. See that? he asked. Then
he rubbed his coat sleeve over It, so that
though we could read what he had writ
ten. IL was blurred We all understood
that he meant our performance had be-
come blurred.
Il was with him so long that l knew
all his little tricks and mannerisms and
l am seriously considering an offer for
next season TO give an impersonation OF
him, In which / would tell some Of the
funny stories he used to tell in his cur
tain speeches. The offer Is TO play five
or six weeks at each vaudeville theatre.
each week In a different character. taking
the biggest hits from the l6 Hoyt char
acters / created. and the last week OF
the run. give a Characterization Of Hoyt
himself.
I'm all the years I've been on the stage.
no one has ever seen me on the stage as
myself, without whiskers and wigs. Many
have asked me why at the end OF my
Baron Sands impersonation did not let
the audience realize that | am not as old
as l seem. Why spoil any illusio1 the
characterization may have created?'
