Most of his associates in the cast who won so much favor during his former visit, are still with him, including, of course, William DeVere, the quaint Arizona editor. The Queen of Burlesque is this season played by Miss Ada Dare. Mr. Hoyt has introduced a number of new and exceedingly amusing scenes. The engagement...
