Pending the increase of tn eoutput

while wearing hat and overcoat In
sultry weather. He was undoubtedly
losing his mind for several years be-
fore anyone appreciated the fact. He
had horror of the feur de lis. Did
he spy the device at any time or
place he would beat a 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 Hoyt's
first failure. 1t failed to make any
money on its 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.
There is no case on record where
Hoyt ever wrote play for a star. He
didn't like to write for people be did
not know well. He started "A Black
Sheep" for. William Hoey and with
reluctance. Before the contracts we're
signed there was hitch and Hoyt
tore up the contract. Then he sent
for me. He told Mckee in my pres
ence 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
ticed that all of the Hoyts comedies
start with "A" 1t was Just another
one of his peculiarities.
1t is worthy OF notice that one OF
the Hoyt plays "A Black Sheep, In
which ! achieved one Of my biggest
hits as an actor. is to be released az
a Selig Red Seal Play. Little DID
believe when acting in this comedy
that ! would again appear in the pro-
duction as motion picture star.
