A NEW PLAY AT THE AST0R.
"The Straight Road"

Miss Blanche Walsh. an actress OF considerable
rough power made her re-entrance here last night
at the Astor Theatre, acting the chief part IN
drama by Mr.. Clyde Fitch. which has already been
tried IN othcr places calei 1.-The Straight Road"
The part assumed by Miss Walsh is that OF a poor
girl. born and reared in "the slums," who pos
sesses,-and at a critical moment displays,-fne
qualities of character and capabty of self-sacri-
flee. for the sake OF benefactor The spirit of
the play IS kindly and its moral drift sets toward
compassion for the poor the ignorant and the
wretched and in favor OF belief In the possible
rectituds and herosm OF human nature in humble
types and squalid places. The readers of Dickens
are not unacquaned with that philosophy Of
tuai life: Nancy, in "Oliver Twist is example
Of It, Moll O'Hara the girl IN Tho Straight
Road" Is not a wanton. Raised out of penury and
filth by n settlement worker she evinces her graft
tudo and fidelity by making n sacrifice OF herself
for the good OF that practical friend. and thus
shows good heart and sets good example. Miss
Walsh has for some time been engaged In depict
ing misery and heroism in low life. and she is duly
expert In that melancholy occupation.

spirit, of, the consequences of inveterate
nant OF lying. The central character, Becky
Warder is an habitual liar and finally. her custom
of ralsehood. not intentional but involuutary,for
1t is shown that she has inherited the mental de-
feet from her father.-places her in COM
promising position, and causes her husband TO
repudste her society.-he choosing to believe her
guilty. in gross Irritation. because she declares
herself 10 be innocent; consequence neither losi-

erratc behavior and she is renstated in her do
treatment of II is felicitousfor the situations

all the plays of Mr. Clyde Fitch the principal talent
disclosed is talent for writing prattle,-the glib.
vacuous coloquy. commonly heard at restaurant
tables and the piazzas of watering place hotels.
That prattle at times s clever in its veracity and
mildly amusing happily illustrative platltudet

The range Of a pair of wolves is an
area of from six to ten miles square.
When the hunter learns that wolves
have been seen and heard in GER
tain locality it may take several days
Of scouting before the dogs can be got
on the trail. The hunter must look
sharp for signs in Sc Ct sandy places
and along creeks and streams.
The old lazy wolf viii, as a rule,
go to the nearest water to drink
when leaving the den, or go to get
a drink as she returns from the hunt
before going to the den, and its local
ity is often found on account Of that
habit. A wolf track can be distin-
guished from that of a dog, because
the two front toenails are set fur
ther ahead, making the track more
pointed. When wolves are running
and especially If frightened, these toes
spread apart making a track that at
a hasty glance looks very much like
the track Of a deeT.-Fur News.
