Hoyt's "Bunch Of Keys' unlocked at
Chandler Music hall Tuesday night q lot
of nonsense that was a trine lacking in
pith and point and toward the end began
to grow wesrisoms 70 the most persistent
admirer Of continuous comedy. Two or
thrun good songs, however, offered some
relief 10 the au6lenre from she absurdifies
OF Grimes, snns8s and Teddy, whose
style OF fun-making caused more mouths
to open wide with tired yawns than with
shouts of laughter. Hoyt's farces have q
reputation that this fashion of presenting
the 'sBunch Of Keys" is not likely to i'm
prove and, il long followed, will tend to
place them under the lock and key OF OBJ
livion. The company is sent out by Gus
Bothner Of the Theatrical Managers as
sociation, supposed to be backing only
good things, and was booked for Ran
dolph BY the Claremont manager, who
had no real idea of what he was infiicting
upon as. The Music hall managers were
unhappily disappointed in the production
that has unfolded itself to the unpleasant
surprise Of other managers in the state.
