~ BSERVERS of what Is known

noticed, of late, an absence of
~ tears from the eyes Of play
goers. Not 50 very long ago
1t was customary for patrons to weep at
the dramas painted woes-to signify
with compassion's salty moisture their
sympathy with the hapless persons on
the stage. Miss Margaret Anglin, who
once specialized in miserable heroines,
used to say that she circled the globe
in a rivulet of brine; and can remem-

in a theater since Miss Helen Hayes
played "Coquette."
One of the explanations why we no
longer cry in the playhouse Is that the
sorrows therein paraded have diminish
ed as our personal distresses have in
creased. We may have grown cold to
tales of pretended affiictions in contem-
plation Of the real agonies suffered by
ourselves. AS we watch Leslie How

Revival of Hoyt's Comedies.

r ECENT mention in these columns
Of the once famous comedies Of
the late Charles Hale Hoyt and his
beautiful wife, Caroline Miskell, whose
untimely death caused the collapse of
all his efforts and ultimately of himself,
has prompted a sympathetic corre-
spondent to suggest that The Star en-
deavor to bring about the revival of at
least some of the more timely of the
Hoyt plays.
1t is a plea that is likely to be vain,
unless the local notion of the fitness of
the project might be converted into a
New York idea, for there is where re-
vivals are born.
Mr.. Hoyt, in the stirring eighties"
stirred an ever-changing world in a
manner which extended well into the
gay nineties."
Born in Concord, N. H., and grad
uated from the Boston Latin School,
Hoyt entered the newspaper fleS5 in
st. Adams, Vt. and later in New ( ork.
He began with "a Bunch Of Keys" in
1883, followed with "a Rag Baby in
1884, "a Trip to Chinatown in 1890,
"a Milk White Flag in 1898 and there
the Who's Who closes its record. save tn
add that he also wrote "a Midnight
Bell" In 1897.
The increasing popular interest in the
Gilbert and Sullivan opera revivals re-
Gently, no doubt, gave rise to the
thought that some of the Hoyt plays
might also be revived with profit to the
promoter and pleasure to many of the
old-timerS, at least.
