Hoyt's "A Milk White Flag" at tb.?
Metropolitan Opera House.
A gallant organization is Chairles H.
Hoyt's superb eiXKitaoular musical mili
tary comedy, "A Milk White Flag,"
which runi all last season at Hoy t's
Theatre, New York City, and also run
over one hundred nights in Chicago.
This emenation front iMr. Hoyt's mr
velously fertile brain is a good natnred
satire on our military organization, and
is rciilete with that humor which, is so
raanipint in the liiakc-up of our boys in
blue. Tlie author has seized with ready
wit upon the ni'ainy opportunities for
twitting our amateur eoldier, which the
latter is constantly furnislliing to the
keen pen and fertile invagination of the
writers, and from this simple material
lias constructed a comedy more elaborate
in it entirety than any of his previous
efforts. Mr. Hoyt's plays are too well
known to the theatre-goers for ns to
expiate at any great length upon thean.
Suffice it to say that he is the only na
tive author who has never made a
failure; hi ploys having one and all, in
rapid uocession, scored emphatic, artis
tic moid financial euecess. and in "A Milk
White Flag," he has out-classed all his
previous efforts. The play will lie pre
seated in the same elaborate -'manner
and with the same marked attention to
artistic detail and accessory as nil of
hisi other productions, :A cast of fifty
'People, at miming scenery, a military
hand,'. make up the aggregation of this
great presentation., which will be seen at
Metropolitan' Opera House to-morrow
night.
