WRECK OF A GIFTED MIND
Genial, Whole-Sonled Chnrllc Hoyt,
Mnyvrrisrlit and Bohemian, Pays
the Cost of Fast Living:.
To the hundreds of Portland theater
goers who have spent merry care-frcc
hours over the badinage and -witty non
sense of the Hoyt farces, it "Will be a
shock of real regret to learn that the
Sifted playwright, Charles H. Hoyt, has
been adjudged insane by skilled special
ists at Hartford. Conn.
His commitment to the asylum as an
incurable paretic was made en the appll--cation
of bis present partner. Frank Mc
Kee, who also sent in a request for
cuardianshlp, the playrlght having no
family or near kindred to care for him.
Stanch friends, however, came to his res
cue and, "after a hot fight, his release has
fceen effected. Ho is now among familiar
surroundings in his old home In Charles
town, N. H., where he can have atten
tion and treatment, and bo under the
custody of physicians personally selected
by his frlondb, and subject only to such
restraint as those physicians deem prop
er. A trustworthy guardian has been
appointed. The large fortune he had ac
quired is more than sufficient to cover
these expenses.
At llrst thero was very bitter feeling
among his friends toward Mr. McKee.
and not a little suspicion that his motive
was the possession of his partner's estate.
But later developments convinced them
that such a view -was an Injustice to
Mr. SlcKee.
Rumor of Greed.
There are rumors now that certain
5?ew Tork people have designs on Mr.
Uojt's person and property, and used
2Hr. McKee simply as a tool. There is
no reason, howevor, to doubt the judg
ment of the medical experts who pro
nounced Mr. Hoyt insane.
It is asserted that his loss of
reason Is due to the death of his
5 oung wife, the beautiful and clever Car
oline Aliskel-Hoyt, to -whom he was pro
foundlv attached. But the normal man
of well-tempered Judgment does not so
easily collapse in the face of grief. How
over sincere and deep-seated his sorrow
ma be, thero is generally enough buoy
ancy or moral btamlna or the sturdy re
serc force that proceeds from a rightly
nurtured habit of self-renunolatlon to pre
set o the mental equilibrium. The free
and eai. luxurj -lov ing Bohemian life of
the stage into which Hoyt had thrown
himself so ardetulv for the past 2i) years,
first as dramatic critic, later as play
wright, hHrdly favors the growth of these
qualities, as McCullough and others have
found, and doubtless to this must be laid
tho sad termination of his career as one
of the cleverest farceurs America .has yet
produced.
The fact cannot be disguised ihnt
the seeds of decay had begun to
show themselves some time before the
fleath of his wife, which drove hint into
senseless pleasures for solace. In recent
plajj. from his. pen one plainly discerns
a deteriorating touch, and a careful com
parison of his lator vvitl his earlier work
will undoubtedly show a distinct lower
ing of tho strain, both morally and in
tellectually. Kresh from the Farm.
A Portland man who knew Hoyt in the
early days of his career describes him
as a young "hayseed." fresh from a Now
Hampshire farm, green and unsophisti
cated, and unused to city ways. But he
was alert and. wide-awake for all that,
and with wonderful avidity and quick
ness of wit mastered the complexities of
city life in a few months.
At that time ho was spending the Win
ter nights in a big storm coat, buttoned
up to his ears, perambulating about
the Boston (Highlands and "West
Roxbury districts, collecting police and
local news for the Boston Post. That
was in the "Winter of '79-SO, and it was
really Hoyt's nrst essay upon tho groat
world for bread and butter. After a while
he was taken on to the city staff of
the Post, and, soon afterward, he was
put on the "Alt Sorts" column, the fa
mous humor column of those days, estab
lished by Ben Shlllaber, the celebrated
"Mrs. Partington," -whom Hoyt succeed
ed. Thus even then, young though he
was, Hoyt gave signs of that cleverness
at making apt and stinging phrases
which he turned to such good account
later in nts rarces.
From the first he began to
feel the fascination of the footlights. By
hook and by creek he made opportunities
for observation and study In greenroom
as well as lobby, quiotly absorbing
through ovary p&re all the theatrical
eossis ot tho day. and making himself
hail fellow well met" "with stage favor
ites. It was not long before he was the
regular dramatic critic of the Post, a
position which he retained for a period
of years, and which gave him Increased
opportunities in a theatrical way. At ono
time he was city editor, but that did not
continue long, as ho had no great apti
tude for an office requiring executive
ability.
Aa a Playrvrlstit.
Meanwhile, he was making a name for
himself as a playwright "A Bunch of
Keys." "A Parlor Match." "ARag Baby,"
"A Tin Soldier," "A Temperance Town,"
"A Contented "Woman." "A Midnight
Bell." "A Trip to Chinatown," by their
Irresistible humor and brightness have
become as familiar as household words.
Ho had associated himself with Charley
Thomas, of the Boston mercantile world,
a clever, brainy man of business, keen
and level-headed, who brought a capital
of about $3000 Into the partnership, only
H00 of It, however, being used in the pro
duction of the first play. He was just the
complement needed to make a financial
success of Hoyt's talents, and their con
nection was a long and cordial one, never
an unpleasant word passing between
them from the beginning of their friend
ship up to the time of Thomas' death from
consumption, a few years ago. Pecuni
arily it helped to bring a fortune to the
playwright, whose wealth is now esti
mated at between J300.O00 and 5400,000.
Hoyt was naturally warm hearted and
strong In his attachments. He married
two of the most beautiful women on the
stage, and in each case his devotion to
his wife was a controlling factor in his
life. The death of Flora "Walsh, his first
wife, occurred while he was writing "A
Milk "White Flog." and from that time
on his work deteriorated.
His second wife, Caroline Miskel,
was a Southern beauty, descended from
good old Kentucky stock, an actress of
considerable repute, whoso art, at least,
attained the merit of being "eminently
natural." &ne aid minor parts under Daly
and eventually became more or less Iden
tified with Hoyt's farces.
"A. Contented "Woman."
"A Contented Woman" was writ
ten especially for her In three weeks'
time, in the idyllic days spent
together in their country home In
Charlestown. N. H. Her death In October
183S, left him comfortless. He was like a
ship without a rudder, which can do noth
ing else than go to wreck.
The tragic pathos of his end contrast?
sadly with the careless merry-making
with his name on the bill-boards. His
plays, in the main with tote exception
of "A Midnight Bell." in which for tho
moment he touched a higher plane were
bright extravagances, with flashes of
irony and satire whoso only purpose
seems to have been to raise a laugh. His
fun-making was not always wholesome
or Innocent, but he never failed to amuse,
and he has perhaps caused more smiles
and driven away more attacks of the
blues than any man of his day in Amer
ica. Ho was a man of brilliant gifts, but
lacking in the sterner virtues of
austerity and self-denial, which In
tho stage-world no less than else
where are the bones and sinews
of character. He was all his life pecu
liarly susceptible to the Influence of wo
man, and was, no doubt, too easily molded
by thoe whom he loved. Nor was he
made of firm enough clay to retain the
Impress. But these are qualities that call
xor compassion rather than for judgment.
MERIWETHER.
BAKER CITY'S NEW THEATER,
Will Be One of Most Attractive of
Western Playhouses.
The Baker City Morning Democrat in
mentioning, in its issue of the 22d Inst.,
that the contract for building the new
opera-house in that city has just been let,
says:
" "The Baker,' when completed and fur
nished, will have cost not less than 530,000,
and will be the finest opera-house In the
state, outside of Portland. Its seating
capacity will be between 1100 and 1200.
"Part of the material is now on the
ground, tho foundation having been fin
ished some time ago, and work will be
commenced at once. Tho building will be
00x100 feet, the space from floor to celling
over 50 feet, making the structure about
00 feet in height.
" 'The Baker has been leased for a
term of two years, with privileges of five
years renewal, to Mr. George L. Baker,
of Portland, formerly of the Marquam
Grand. He is having special scenery
prepared, which will make it one of the
most attractive playhouses in tho West.
JAPANESE THEATERS.
Genuine Dwelling Houses and Trees
Used on tlic Stngre.
Japan, with its 40,000,000 miniature popu
lation, possesses five big show towns:
Toklo (the capital), Yokohama, Kioto,
Osaka and Kobe. The performances be
gin at 9 o'clock A. M. and conclude at 11
P. M., which fact seems to point to
their recognition of the value of "tho
continuous," says a Chicago exchange.
The Japanese benedict, or beau, when de
sirous of taking his family or a party to
theaters, makes arrangements a few days
previously. He orders his box, refresh
ments, cigarettes and other necessities
for this day at the theater. The archi
tecture of these houses is quaint, and
they are built mostly of wood. As to the
staging of the plays, it is easy to re
produce everything realistically, as things
in real life are so small. Occasionally
three or four dwellings, full sized, are on
the stage, which Is set on a revolving
dial, and operated on wheels, noiselessly
and promptly. This allows rapid change
of scenes. Natural water Is generally em
ployed, and real vegetation is used In
garnishing the outdoor scenery. As many
as 30 curtains, which are operated to
and from the center, and which contain
descriptions of the play, as well as ed
vertlsements, are used in some of these
houses.
From the stage, over the heads of tho
audience In the orchestra, is built a run,
or board walk, which Is termed tho
"huner mlchl," or "the flowery way,"
deriving Its term from the applause and
floral tributes which generally reward
the actor who Is compelled to use it as
an exit after his performance.
IMPRESSARIO KILLED.
GottschulU Struck by Locomotive on
a Grade Crossing.
It will be a shock of surprise and regret
for Portland people to learn that James
V. Gottschalk, the well-known theatrical
agent, whose last visit to this city was
in company of Hambourg, Petschnlkoff
and Lachaume. has lust mpt with sudden
death. With two others the brothers
of his wife he was thrown from the car
riage in which they were driving near
Allentown, Pa., by a locomotive, and tho
three were instantly killed. This Is a
particularly hard blow for Mrs. Gott
schalk, who by it" loses not only her
husband, but two brothers as well. Mr.
Gottschalk was S6 years old and is ex
ceedingly popular on this coast, and much
admired for his Intellect and Integrity.
J. Y. Gottschalk w&S born to New Or-
leans, July SO, 1S59. He began his busi
ness career as a clerk for a Mississippi
steamboat packet company. In 1S79 he
came to New York as a bookkeeper fob
a wholesale liquor firm. Attracted by
his good qualities Cblzzola, manager of
the Emma Nevada Operatic Concert
Company, Induced him to become treas
urer of the organization. He subse
quently represented the same manager
in tho Salvinl-Booth combination. He
was attached to the managerial start
of the Pattl Operatic Company, and was
CHARLES H. HOYT, DRAMATIC AUTHOR,
advance agent of "Vladlmar de Pachman,
the Russian pianist. ,In 1S93 lie was ap
pointed assistant business -nanager of
Madison Square Garden. Ho resigned
October 1, 1S34, owing to a disagreement
with Frank Sanger.
Recently he was associated Jwlth "Victoi
Thanet as a manager of concert and
operatic stars. He arranged for next
season to manage on his own account
several famous instrumental virtuosos
and concert singers, among whom were
Petschnlkoff, the violinist: Godowsky,
Madeleine Schiller, Sleveklng, Siemens,
Harold Bauer, of Paris and Lachaume,
all pianists: also Richard Arnold's string
sextet.
GREATEST OF THE SEASON.
Richard Mansfield's Production
of
"King: Henry V."
By far the greatest dramatic production
of tho present season will be "King
Henry "V," which Mr. Mansfield Is prepar
ing In a manner so splendid that It fair
ly promises to be the most elaborate
Shakespearean revival of this generation,
says the well-known critic, Lyman B.
Glover.
With his accustomed indifference to or
dinary methods, Mr. Mansfield has not
stood upon tho outer battlements and
proclaimed In swelling adjectives the re
markable scope and grasp of his enter
prise. In England, when Mr. Irving Is
about to under tako a revival of "Mac
beth" or tho Pickwickian Beerbohm Tree
has "Midsummer Night's Dream" on the
stocks, the press and the public is worked
Into a veritable tremor of expectancy.
Everybody is made to understand that
the Impending affair Is the event of the
season, and, as a consequence, on the
opening night the excitement Is at fever
heat, no matter what It may be subse
quently. Perhaps Mr. Mansfield is too
conservative and independent in his
methods, but, judged by results, tho
American people prefer other than circus
methods in the higher drama. Various
managers will beat the tom-tom and cre
ate more than a Salvation Army dlstrub

Thus, when "King Henry V" is put on
at the Garden Theater October 1, there
is an assured confidence that It will be
a magnificent example of Shakespearean
revival. For the scenic investiture IS fine
pictures have been prepared. The com
pany will include 250 people and more

The Bis Circus.
Singling Bros.' World's Greatest
Shows, the "big circus which created
such a sensation in Portland last sea
son, will exhibit here Thursday and Fri
day, September 6 and 7. This has "been
definitely decided. There will be no
change of route, and the show will come
to Portland, as originally arranged last
winter, from Seattle, Tacoma and Cen
tralia. The coming of a big show is al
ways an amusement event of Importance,
and "undoubtedly great Interest will at
tach to this year's visit of Ringllflg Bros.'
circus. No circus that ever visited the
Pacific Coast ever succeeded so admirably
in fulfilling the requirements of the Ideal
arenlc entertainment as Rlngllng Bros.'
great show did last season, and the de
sire to see the exhibition again is natu
ral. This Is particularly true In view of
the fact that the show is announced as
being bigger and grander than ever this
year. Many new features have been
added, while the menagerie, always a
great featu-, has been practically
doubled In size. Especial attention has
been given to the ring show, and the
circus company is said to be numerical
ly stronger than any similar organiza
tion ever before seen in the United States.
Tho Fisher family of world-famous aer
iallsts; the seven marvelous DaComas,
whose .feats of acrobatlsm have been

and dexterity, who Is without a peer as
a lofty midair equilibrist; M. Joseph le
Flour, the most Intrepid of somersault
divers these are but a few of the great
artists to be seen with this unrivaled ex
hibition. In fact, the arenlc company of
this great sextuple circus comprises over
300 gifted performers, embracing the very
pick of the world's best riders, aerlallsts,
acrobats and specialists; the trained ani
mal sensations introduce three great acts
by three separate companies of elephant
actors, and O'Brien's famous 61-horse
act; the menagerie Is the largest and
most complete zoological collection In
the world; the preliminary Introductory
spectacle, "The Last Days of the Cen
tury," surpasses In magnificent complete
ness and ennobling sentiment any patri
otic display ever attempted, and the free
street parade, which takes place on the
morning of the exhibition, is so Infinitely
superior to those with which the public
Is more or less familiar as to be beyond
the range of comparison.

Manager Calvin Helllg, of the Marquam
Grand Theater, announces that he has
secured for tho week beginning Septem

Manager Frledlander's famous juvenile
success at the California Theater, San
Francisco. The company presenting the
play will appear every night of the week,
except one, which was previously en
gaged by another attraction.
The large number of children who will
appear In "The Brownies" are, for the
most part, professionals, and crowded
houses have greeted them at the big Cal
ifornia Theater and elsewhere in the
Golden State. Tho production is one of
the most enjoyable for both old and
young that has been presented on the
Coast of recent years, and Is well-staged.
It should draw good audiences here.-
