THE WOLF" HERE WEDNESDAY

When this melod ramatic master
piece had its first presentation in the
metropolis, Ashton Stevens, the ia
nous critic formerly on the San
Francisco Examiner and now on the
New York Evening Journal. used the
following expressive paragraphs in
its laudation:
The Wolf is melodrama. rich,
ripe and resourceful. 1t is written
with "A stub pen on rough, yellow pa
per. There is no thought of vellum
and pearl-handled gold pen. But
there is poetry. sometimes as rough
as the great mountains in which it is
uttered"
There is the poet about Jules
Baubien, the central character of the
dramatic poet and the epicurean
too. And Eugene Walter gave this
role the beautiful phrase But there
is no in case in the structure of The
Wolf In its own way, il plays itself
ont as surely as Greek tragedy plays
itself out. 1t Is a fine machine. 1t is
wonderful melodrama, wonderfully
acted.
