Eugene Walter, whose Paid in FulP only
last week won hearty endorsement in this
city, it is a play that fascinates by an abb
solute heart appeal. Its sentiment
reaches the altitude Of the finely poetic;
the justice OF its thrilling ending is grim,
but it is the straight, sure justice that
men know who live in the wilderness.
In seeing The Wolf one escapes in mag
ination wholly from his surroundings,
be finds himself in the vast woodlands of
norther Canada where the breezes are
fragrant OF pine. SEVERN DeDeyn was
excellent and his efforts were ably sec
onded by a clever cast. The scenic effects
