"HiE Hearted Jins" at the KruE.
In "Big Hearted Jim. William Roberts
has again invaded the west for a back
ground against which to set the customary
mannikins over whose jointed figures the
fabric of the modern melodrama is spread
This time 1t fits In places and droops In un-
artistic folds in others. No such western
characters as are drawn ever really existed
outside the penny dreadfpls," but the hero
is Just as heroic as can be, the villain Is un-
speakabe and the other elements are all
we'll supplied. George Klip1pt assumes the
role OF the sherif OF Medicine Lodge and
plays him with manly vlgoT and a drawling
speech. to the intense satisfaction OF his
friends upstairs at any rate. He is not
bumptieus, but just certain Of everything
save when he is making love. Then he is
chump; probably due to lack OF experience.
Miss Mable Moore contributes charming
bit of work as the heroine and Miss Jessie
Stevens does an effective stunt in the char
acter OF a 'mountain diamond" She is
nearer true to life than any Of the rest.
The company is an unusually we'll balanced
one and the play is very we'll staged and
directed, so that the performance runs
through its series of elimaxss with
steady flow of action. A small audience
greeted the opening last night, but this will
doubtless be remedied when the quality OF
the piece is better understood. The com
pany stays at the Krug until after sathr-
day night, with a matinee on Saturday.
