Men and Women Who Helped t6
Make His Comedies Successful.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD, I read
Mr.. Folsom's interesting account OF
Hoyt's plays. We all agree that they
were never exceeded for clean humor.
Harrigan and Hart, with tho Mulligan
Guards series. were a close runnerup.
Perhaps George Cohan is tha nearest
approach at present to Mr.. Hoyt as an
author. and he has the advantage Of
being an actor. His "Forty-flve Min
utes From Broadway" was In line with
Hoyt's satire.
l believe / can add a few names to
those given by Mr.. Folsom, including the
faDaes OF players Mr.. Hoyt himself re-
garded as adding to his success. In "a
Texas Steer" Flora Walsh-in private
life Mrs. Charles II. Hoyt-played with
marked success opposite to Tim
Murphy. 1t was after her death that
Hoyt married Caroline Miskel.
Guilfoyle. an inimitable whistler. made
use Of this speciality while playing his
part in "A Trip to Chinatown" Others
OF the Hoyt companies were Mamie Gil
roy, Billie Deevee, Julian Edwards, the
deaf stage manager and right hand man,
and last but not least, Percy Gaunt, his
musical director. 1t was to him that the
musical successes were largely due.
much the same as Harrigan and Harts
success was helped by tho music OF
