It is not SO much in the complexity
OF the plot as in the subtility Of the
characterization that the charm Of the
play lies. The story is beautiful
enough. altho simple and direct.
Inc Judge, is great-hearted, whole
some ONE, man, just the type Of forceful
character one is likely to find in posi-
tlon OF prominence in western town.
Love had played small part in his
life, but when it does come, it comes
with a volume.
The girl is drawn with equal force
and charm. She is a sweet, loveable
girl, trusting and refined, with vein
OF poetry. Her love is so beautiful
that it is like some, rare. flower. No
stage scene. could be more charming
than that when, in the night, she awak-
ems her mother to question her in re-
gard to her suspicious apropos of pin
winch she fears her mother may have
stolen and then, treasured, in the sweet
1ntlmacy OF the occasion, snuggles close
great love and happiness that has come
to her. Clyde Fitch, nor. any other
American dramatist, ever did anything
