"The Wolf" Thursday, Dec. 81.

Realism in stage effects is the con-
stant aim of theatrical producers. and
the latest innovation introduced is to
call upon the phonograph in securing
realistic atmosphere. The aid of the
phonograph was sought in the case of
Eugene Walters stirring and virile
drama of the Canadian Rudson Bay
fur country, '"rhe Wolf" and the par
ticular purpose for which it was used
was to reproduce the bowling of a
pack of wolves, to carry out the effect
called for in the business of the last
act of this strong and emotion gripping
drama. The last act of "The WOLF is
laid at the portage of the Little Bear
river, and the time of day is just after
~sundown. The stage is darkened and
the figures of the actors move ghost
like across the scene, the dialogue be-
ing spoken to the accompaniment of
the swish of the waters of the river as
they wash up against the bank, and IN
the distance one hears the bowling
and mournful cries of pack of timber
wolves as they cross the range of hills
in the background. To better realize
the possibilities of the scene. Mr. Wal
ter cast around for some better means
of producing the bowling of a wolf
pack then was possible by the ordinary
mechanical means used for such pur-
poses. and finally was able to arrange
that photographic record be made
of the bowling of the pack of gray
timber wolves that make the Zoologi-
cal gardens their permanent abode.
Accordingly the experiment was tried
