Five men and a girl played 1.-THE Wolf"
at the jefferson theatre last night in a
way to grip the attention and stir the
heart of everyone present. The thrilling
effect of this melodrama by Eugene Wal
ter was tribute both to the art Of the
players and the skill OF the dramatist
who, though called a novice by the
critics, has yet written play that is
vivid and intensely human beyond the
ordinary. 1.-THE Wolf is story which
resolves around the immemorial theme
the rivalry of two men for the same
girl. The girl is Hilda, the daughter
of an eccentric and brutal father, a Scot
and his own daughter by the infidelity of
his wife, even though his brutal treat
ment drove his wife to run away with
another man. Macdonald Is railroad
contractor who is a connoisseur OF wom-
en- and his eyes light with no good in
tention on the browbeaten Hilda, who is
already driven desperate by the mistreat-
ment of her father, Andrew MacTavish.
Macdonald puts up a subtle plea and
hoodwinks the father, but Jules Baudein
loves the girl with true love and he
steals her away just when she is about
to fall into the power of Macdonald.
There is chase. Macdonald. brave at
any rate following Jules and the girl
and two friends of Jules in their flight
toward Montreal, Jules sends his little
party on ahead and waits behind for
Macdonald, who is close on the trail
The two men met in the dark in the
Wilderness and fight to the death. Mac
Donald is slain and when Jules strikes
match the tiny flame proves him the
victor 1t is a stirring and absorbing
play, with some characters we'll worth
while and a story that strikes deep. The
final climax where the two men struggle
in the dark to the accompanying bowls of
wolves is a masterpiece of stage realism
that makes one forget he is in a the
atre.
The company acquitted itself admirably.
Each member came UP fully to the re-
quirements of the play. Theatregoers
should not miss seeing The Wolf" this
afternoon or tonight. 1t is really some-
thing new.

Communications
Appeal from Shansh al Synagogue

TO The Editor Jewish Outlook, Den
YER, Colorado:
Dear Sir We, the undersigned,
and in behalf of the committee and
members Of this society beg to solicit
the favor of your kind assistance
towards an urgent and much needed
synagogue and charitable institution
for Shanghai.
We have succeeded during the past
four years in maintaining a syna-
gOgue, and philanthropic society, the
latter, we are glad to say. has proved
instrumental in relieving the many
destitute Jews that are constantly
coming here, many of whom we have
sent to distant countries. providing
monthly grants to local indigents, and
otherwise alleviating the Sufferings OF
our poor unfortunate brethren in dis
tress.
Our local donations and subscrip-
tions have so far enabled us to meet
all such calls. and to keep up few
rooms for daily services. but the time
has now arrived when the evergrowing
community of Shanghai should also
be blessed with synagogue Of their
own. and to realize this cherished hope
we must depend upon the generous
support and contributions from our
co-religionists abroad, who will, we
sincerely hope, through your kind
offices, help us to accomplish our
good purpose. '1''''"
1t is our desire to establish II refuge
in conjunction with the synagogue,
for the old and infirm whose daily
s,,stenancc we can provide. our sub
scriptions being sufficient for that and
to meet all expenses for the up-keep
of synagogue. the rent for which
now absorbs the greater part of our
income. and which We can save and
utilize for more relief work. if we
had our own building. We have II
fair number of regular paying men,
bers among whom are several who
have promised liberal assistance to
carry out this very useful and benevo-
lent work, the principle of which will
he to extend all and every possible aid
to the numerous poor and helpless
Jews. the majority of whom are un-
fortunately, refugees from Russian
persecution.
II is estimated that suitable build
ing to meet all our requirements can
be secured for about $500 out of
which Il 900 has already been prom
Used locally and to realize the greater
part of this sum. we have sent sub
scription lists to various cities i'm the
states and Europe. all of which we
hope will bear Il good and patriotic
testimony of the charitable and broth
erly feeling which exists among Jews
all over the world. and we shall feel
very grateful if you will kindly dis
tribute the accompanying lists among
the Rabbis of your town. with an ur-
gent appeal from us for them to cir
culate the same among the members
of their congregations. among whom
we hope will he found many bencvO-
lent sympathizers who are in a posi-
tion to bestow substantial assistance.
All contributions so collected will
be gratefully received and acknowl-
edged through the medium of your

STATE FARM FOR UNEMPLOYED
Legislature to Be Asked to Help
 Plan to Sage Foundation.


 New York, Oct S.-A special meet ing of the national committee for the Relief of the Unemployed was held yesterday at 20 Duane street and Edmond Kelly reported the re- suit of visit he paid to the cor poration counsel to find out what power the city had in providing for the unemployed. This applied espes eially to men without home, who may be arrested for vagrancy.
 According to the corporation coun- sel, he said, the city had power to build more warehouses where va> grants could at least be housed. He was arranging with Charities Com missioner Hebberd to prepare bill to be submitted the first thing when the legislature meets providing for farm colonies to which vagrants could be committed and put to work of an educational character. The bill will provide that tract of 2,000 acres near the city be acquired by the state.
 MT Kelly reported also that he had a talk with Robert ". De Forest, trustee of the Sage foundation, to see if farm colony for the unem- ployed could be purchased and main- tained with part of the endowment. MT De Forest asked him for mem orandum of the plan to be submitted to the trustees.
 Various committees were appoint ed. One committee is to see the mayor and ask not only that the rec reation piers be used during the win ter as sleeping places for the unem- ployed but also that the school buildings and armories when not in use should be devoted to the same purpose. The Brotherhood Welfare society, branch of the unemployed committee, presented Chairman J. Eads How with medal for his ae- tivity In the work.

But Mrs Solotorof continues to deny that she went near the meter and also was emphatic in declaring that she did not touch the fixtures upstairs. She said that while arranging her things last evening she used a lamp which she showed to the officers this morn- ing. She said she had no use for gas yet and had no intention of hav- ing 1t turned on until she had her new home all fixed up. Her husband bore her out in statements. It is said the second floor tene- ment has not been occupied in six months and the investigators are wondering why the gas company did not take out the meter as they are accustomed to when family va- cates fiat, but one of the officials of the gas company said this morning the company does not act until 1t Is notified by the party nov ing out.

NooNAN WAS REFEREE.
Man and Woman Had Argument Over
 Pile of Wood.

Patrolman Maurice Noonan had to
 essay the role of peacemaker yester- day afternoon about o'clock in the
 rear of the Whittemore block at the
 corner of Bank and Grand streets. An Italian woman with half dozen boys as supporters had an argument with a junk dealer as to the ownership Of
 pile of wood. The woman-who was no weakling-appeared as though she was going to make an at tack on the peddler whose wagon was marked Louis Alperman.
 Louis, who was pigmy in size in
 comparison with Mrs Woman, thought 1t discreet to take to his heels before someone would have to call a physician to dress his injuries, so when the argument became triie
 warm and the woman was going like a windmill in her gesticulations Louis sneaked out through the store of the Singer Sewing Machine Co. The woman and her boys made |hay while Louis was fleeing. She
 loaded each boy with as much wood as he could carry. The boys had re-
 turned and were about to make trip
 when Alperman was seen hustling through the alleyway that leads from
 Peter Kelly's barn. Apparently he had new life and all kinds of courage.
 Reason: Maurice Noonan was com ing right after him.
 Immediately there was a confer ence between the patrolman, the wom- an and the peddler. One of the boys acted as interpreter. The woman claimed that she had bought all the wood in the morning while the ped- 'dler maintained that he had purchas- ed lot of old machines. As the man. ager of the store was not around, Maurice said the wood would have to remain there until the following morning-all of it with the exception of the machine wood. This the ped |dler was allowed to load upon his wagon. We'll, 1t was a good thing that the officer was on hand while the peddler was filling his vehicle for If he had not been there the woman would certainly have made it trifie exciting for Alperman.
 As he was driving away with the wood-the patrolman in the mean time had departed-the boys sent a shower of stones and fruit after him.
