* Hoyt's first two plays ("Gifford's Luck" and "Cezalia") were never produced in New York City. The only other play to have that distinction was "A Dog in the Manger" which opened in Washington, D.C. at the Lafayette Square Opera House on January 30, 1899.
** For those purists who do not consider Harlem to be part of New York, A Trip To Chinatown opened on November 9, 1891 at Hoyt's Madison Square Theatre.
