| for the leading actress is Go Won Go
Mohawk, who Is the only Indian actress
on the stage. She is also supported by a
number of full-blooded Indians. The
story of the play tells of the love of
Mary Fremont, daughter of the fort
and White Eagle, young Indian chief
| The piece is not as one would suppose,
| a wild western drama, but a very in
teresting drama laid In the far west,
| with a wealth Of scenery, all Of which
has been painted from the original. The
second act is a most effective scene
| showing the council fire and the Indians
1 smoking the pipe of peace. During this
/ act each Indian has a long talk for
peace, but at the conclusion of the talks
there is an eclipse of the moon, and the
| Indians taking this as an omen, declare
for war. The last act is also we'll pre-
scented, during which there is the burn
ing Of the fort, very excellent piece OF
stage realism. There are also a number
of very intelligent horses introduced
The entire performance is one that. for
it's kind, has not had it's equal in this
city, for 1t is the only one Of this nature
that Is on the stage to-day. The COM
pany is one Of exceptional merit Go
Won-Go Mohawk is an actress of ex-
ceptional merit and displays a great
deal of talent, and she could give points
to many in her profession. Chief Ga
Ne Cue, a FLOODED Indian, who can
neither read nor write, was exception
ally good as Black Eagle. Charles
Charles as the colonel was excellent.
Miss Nina Paul made a charming Mary.
Clarence Bellars, Chief Red Flash and
Wilbur Collins were well received in
their respective roles. The comedy roles
were intrusted, to Guy Hackney. Ed
mund F. Kroyer and Lou Ripley, who
kept the audience in a continual roar.
Chief Kenjockety was we'll received as
the chief Of the Pawnees.
The entire performance is well worth
seeing, and especially for the organiza-
tion of Red Men, for their drama is SAID
to be very much like that of the order
In many cities the Red Men organza-
lions have attended the performance in
body The play will be repeated this
and tomorrow nights and at the mat
inee to- morrow. There has already been
