The "ruhen quartette, the waiter complication and the live person disguised as u. dummy are some of the old friends thf.t appear once more In "The Mar Hoarder." The Hoyle company works briskly and had no trouble in getting applause with fhe aged jokes yesterday. Mr. Doyle has a chorus of well-dreed and good-loo'dnf. young women, who sing tunefully enough to merit more opportunities than they are given. A strong and dance of French movement, in the first act. Is the best feature of the entertainment. Boyle's irritation of Sousa. which he has been giUng for several seasons, went as well yesterday as ever before. There are two members of the company named Midgely. and this Is the only excuse they can hr.ve for borrowing part of the act of Midgely and Carlisle, a team wtll known In the high-class vaudeville theaters.
