act Joe, the hero, appears in the strong hold of a western bad man and steals away Little Tattoo, Belle Gordon, lured from the east, and Maggie Mason who has fallen into the bad mans power. The climax is immense, so far as gun play is concerned
 In the second act the love element ot the play is suitably developed and the villains come snealSing on with the full purpose of wreaking vengeance on Joe and his wards. They steal Little Tattoo ard a Mexican throws her over a preci- pice, but Waketah, an Indian of lofty character, rescues the child in a thrilling ly realistic manner by swinging from a cliff at the end of rope The story is carried on to a fitting close, when the hero locates gold in his mine and wins the girl he loves. The villains of tho piece are scotched and all the good people wear smile.
 The play is extremely well staged and the scenery gives plenty of atmosphere" and local color" to the action of the plot, not to speak of the characters who are in themselves typical of the west as it is portrayed for the purposes of melodrama. The company is up to the average and some pleasing specialtes are introduced by Little Pauline. The prin- cipal parts are played by Joseph Stan hope, who is Joe Mayfeld, the hero; Ned Finley, who is Martin Mason, the disturber; Louis Peters, who is the Mex ican bad man; Norman Roberts, who is Waketah; Ben William McChrystal, who is the negro; Leona Lay who is "Dyna- mite Ann;'' Nellie J. Collins, who is Belle Gordon; Lefty Holmes, who is Mag
