were the only men in the building at
the time, did not discover the fire I'M

the structure was too far gone to be
saved, although the hook and ladder
and chemical engines were on the
ground in short time.

THE CAST

M ELODRAMA holds the boards al
MI the Auditorium again this week
49, and the Ferris players have an
opportunity to shine in the well estab-
lished roles of long suffering hero
misunderstood heroine and a villain
who breaks as many laws of God and
man as the length of the play will
allow.
"Under the Polar Star" is a drama
of snow and ice, but despite the chill
ing surroundings the fire of human
passion blazes high and the tragedy
of hate and the romance of love is as
intense under the glow of the Aurora
Borealis as it might be in the fierce
heat of the equator
Three. of the acts are played while
the characters are within the Arctic
circle and this offers opportunity for
unusual scenes and remarkable and
elaborate stage settings. The lights in
the third and fourth acts were espe-
cially effective and conveyed most
viv1dly the impression of still pene-
trating cold. The fourth scene, where
the shipwrecked explorers are held
among the ice foes until they actually
cross the pole after the warm currents
of air have melted the icy barrier, en-
abling the rescuing party to reach
them ana effect their deliverance, was
also most picturesque and unusual.
Waits Were Long
Much of the effect of this elaborate
staging was lost last night, for the
audience waXed exceeding impatient at
the long entire acts, which held the final
curtain until nearly midnight. With
such long waits interest in both plot
and players become diffused and the
succeeding acts lost interest instead of
gaining as they should if the play had
moved with reasonable CELEBRITY.
Florence Stone in the role of Helen
Blame had an opportunity to look not
only her usual beautiful self in the first
act, where she has strong emotional
scene, but later was most effective
when in her disguise of negro cabin
boy she joins her guardians expedition
| to the north pole in order to be neal
| her lover for whose safety she fears.
Miss Stone was a surprise to hel
greatest admirers in this character Bit
and took her rough and tumble hand
ling from the members of the crew, all
unaware of her identity, with the most
delightful insouciance.
The honors of the piece were shared
last night by the comedians in their
Irish roles, and Carrie Clarke Ward
and Hugh Metcalf both received fire.
quent applause for their droll lines as
we'll as for the amusing specialties
which are introduced in the third act.
Here Mrs Ward gave a dance which
was decidedly light and graceful and
Mr. Metcalf and Frank Beamish in
troduced some songs, all of which
We're enthusiastically received by the
audience.
Florence Barker looked fascinatingly
pretty in the short role which was her
part, appearing only in the first act.
Joseph Kilgour was cast as Harry Car
leton surgeon of the expedition, and
Frank Beamish played the part of the
French scientist, DR.. Achille RADON,
with much spirit. Harry Won Meter
was rather out of the part of William
Brandon, the villain of the piece, and
David Edwin made the best of his role
of Alexy, the devoted Siberian guide
and hunter.
Under the Polar Star will be the
bill at the Auditorium all this week.
