The only lesson from the play Is that
from the most unlikely and least ex-

can spring. Mrs. Fiske's part or u
scrub girl In a saloon, whose nature
becomes transformed through the inllu-
ence of q great love, is totally different

appealing and absorbing roles which
she has created, and her acting oppur-

tom, Harrison Grey Fiske has enlarged

sl,in,s. The part of Jim Plat is played
by Holbrook Bllnn, and others in the
