The Wolf" One Of the Best.
"The Wolf, =" drama of the Canadian
woods, the country of the Hudson Ba
company, was a magnihcently staged pre-
duction at Chandler Music hall las
Thursday night and a play OF interes
we'll sustained throughout.

in front Of log cabin on the banks {
the Wind river during Indian summer
, and disclosed Andrew McTavish, a Scotc

fanatical, erack-brained old Scotchma
serving God and the Presbyterian XIII

ness to save her soul and railing at b
continually for possessing yellow ha
and the beauty Of her mother, who d
serted him for more agreeable Frenc
man.
Hilda McTavish was the role taken
