rustic romance and brave deeds OF
goodness and simplicity rising tri-

irritating misconceptions in the
fourth act. which is short and sweet.
Mr.. Hendricks is an actor of the
type made familiar years ago by

singular pathos and power. and his
singing voice has the peculiar quail
icy which suddenly clarifies the mag
nation and for the moment lifts the
nearer quite out of himself With all
this he is an actor of uncommon

ence and a winning face and n Swed-
ish accent that is equal to any lin
