"A Texas Steer"

Charles W. Hoyt's great success A
Texas Steer" will be revived by the
Poll Players next week, following
Kick In"
"A Texas Steer" has always been
prime favorite with Washington audi
ences, one Of the chief reasons for its
appeal being that all of the scenes are
laid in Washington. and the principals
in the story are congressman, tneir
wives and their constituents. The lead
ing figure in this feast of fun is wild
and woolly Texan who comes to Wash
ington to see his congressman ana 10
get a job for some of his friends.
One of the most amusing characters
in the play is an old colored man from
Texas. who also wants JOB. where ne
can draw a big salary for eating and
sleeping. He has been told that the
position as minister to Dahomey is an
ideal place for him. and throughout the
whole play he is in pursuit OF tnls
Elusive Office.
The lines are clever and the SITUATIONS
extravagantly amusing.
