artificial stone which when bathed in

that this substance was first manufac-
tured in America by accident through
the metallurgical operations Of I. l..
Wilson. near a small stream in North
Carolina.
While using limestone and salt In
smelling he noticed among the melted
Stag which day by day ran nearer to
the brink OF the little stream a gray
ish- white substance new in his expert
ence, but thought little of it until one
day the molten Stag overhung the wa
ter and began to flow into it. Then
suddenly a bright white flame burst
out Of the molten mass and enveloped
It for some time.
He drew from the d1y Stag some or
the strange material and touched a
match to it. but without result Then
he poured some water upon it, and at
the next trial the liberated acetylene
gas broke into flame.
Thus in 1892 accident discovered a
practicable way Of producing that
acetylene gas first discovered in Eng
land in 1886 by Edmund Day while

had horror OF the f)eur de lis. Did
he spy the device at any time or
place he would beat q hasty retreat.
He could be very sarcastic at times.
Hoyt had great fund OF stories and
his humor was wonderful. Everything
seemed to strike his funny side. Even
the names of his characters were
studies in true humor
"A Trip to Chinatown was Hoyts
first failure. 1t failed to make any
money on it's preliminary presenta-
ton. Hoyt took the show to New
York city, engaged the Madison
Square Garden, put in a good cast and
it went over and was the biggest hit
he ever had. Society had never seen
that class of stuff in those days. 81
There is no case on record where
Hoyt ever wrote a play for star. He
didn't like to write for people he did
not know we'll. He started "A Black
Sheep" for William Hoey and with
reluctance. Before the contracts were
signed there was a hitch and Hoyt
tore up the contract. Then he sent
for me- He told Mckee in my pres
enee that he would rather write the
play around my personality. "A
Black Sheep was great success.
& "A Contented Woman" was written
for his wife. 1t is as up-to-date today
as it was years ago, for it deals with
suffragettes. You have perhaps no
