Elsie Janis brings The Hoyden to the Grand for a seven night engagement with a bright three act comedy from Cosmo Hamilton. The cast includes Joseph Cawthorn Nellie Beaumont Isabel D Armond and La Noveta with Ben Teal staging and Homer Emans scenic art.
The article profiles Elsie Janis born in Columbus and rising as a reigning youth star.

Edmond Breese, famed for his millionairess role, plays golf to relax between eight weekly performances while Gertrude Coghlan shows off painting and horseback skills. The staged Yale race scenes, college rooms, river setting, and final reconciliation deliver a vivid, nostalgic road drama commonly praised as the season’s prettiest ending.
