A melodrama called The Wolf" written by Eu-
gene Walter, author of Paid in Full acted
last night at the BijOu Theatre by company Of
players that included William Courtenay, Thomas
Fndlay Walter Hale, Sheridan Block and Ida Con-
quest. There are all the elements of the melo-
drama in The Wolf. and at times, il holds at
tention-but ii cannot be set down an effective
play.
There are three acts and the action begins in
the morning and is ended at sunset OF the same
day in the Canadian Hudson Bay country The
villain is an American adventurer named MacDon-
aid, the hero a young French-Canadan named
Jules Beaubien and the heroine the yeIlow-haired

bien for the hand OF the ScOtchman's daughter.
Macdonald, by a lie, tricks the ScotChman into an
agreement TO allow Hilda 10 go with him 10 the
United States. Young Beaubien. who loves Hilda.
The denunciation occurs in the second act. and is
one of the best scenes in the play That act
closes with the Frenchman carrying OF Hilda The
their companions resting at the portage Of Little
Bear River The villain is in pursuit. Hlda and
Beaubon make their troth; then he consigns her
10 the care of his faithful companions and awaits

THE PROPOSED CURRENCY COMMISSION

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Representative Fowler's bill providing for
the appointment of currehcy commission. com
posed Of forty-three members, representing the
Senate and House and the various business in
terests from al sections Of the Union appears to
offer the best solution of the present legislative
currency tangle.
While The appointment of a commission must be
considered a motion TO postpone the part
Of Congress- that policy is preferable TO the
passage of unsOund law. 1t is apparent that no
satisfactory legislation can be had AT the present
session, but it is clear also that thorough re-
vision OF banking and currency laws cannot
be delayed indefinitely. Such revision ought TO be
made only after full investigation OF all the
problems involved
The appointment of representative currency
commission, as provided for in Mr. Fowler's hill
will afford a means OF obtaining the views OF all
classes of business men IN every part of the
duuntry When these views supplemented by
the commissions report they viii supply proper
basis for intelligent legislation which WILL make
our banking and currency systems efficient ser
wants OF American production and trade.

"AIDA" AT ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

Performances like that Of Aida last night Mt
the Academy of Music, given by Mr.. Abramson
industrious troupe. emphasizes anew the difficulty
OF presenting serious opera even passably well
without singers of good attainments. Earnestly as
those chiefly concerned last evening strove to sing
Verdis music and act out the significance or
words and situations there was not an instant OF
Illusion, nor there many moments OF which
even the casual operagoer could truthfully say
that they brought beauty to the ear and mind
Creditably contrived in its scenic arrangements
con sdering what may properly be expected from
a travelling organization OF modest means, this
Aida" presentation yet failed at most points TO
keen the auditors interested Mr.. SamoilOv as
Radames and Nine. Columbati as Amneris came
nearest TO redeeming the occasion. but they had an
task, and their own vocal sins were often
grievous. Aida" completes Mr.. Abramsons series
at the Academy Of Music. Later he will give
opera at another theatre.
