love and hate, but is sufficiently seasoned
with humor to make it thoroughly en-
ioyable production. Miss Anna Heritage
as Virginia Albert. daughter of the Hud
son Bay company's factor, was, delight,
fully adapted to her part and played
with an ingenious manner that captivated
the audience; Miss Maud TruaX as The
Widow Brockton lent humor as well as
common sense to some trying situations:
and Miss Carol Warren played the part
of the French Canadian girl, Julie Bag
neau. in a very acceptable way. The whole
company was well balanced and supported
Mr.. Gilmore to good effect. The scenery
was far above the average, the scene IN
the great forest being especially remarkable.
The costumes might perhaps have been
more appropriate to the time and place IN
which the action was supposed to have
occurred but this defect was by no means
a serious one.
