the former production, and would have becn acceptable

that has been made Is In the ship scene OF the fourth

was particularly pleased with the entrance of Miss
Edna Carey, the wife Of Jack Dudley, on horse
back al the end OF the third act. The meOdramatic
situation and the reprieve which she brought 10 her
