JOHN ROGERS UP AGAINST 1T.

John Rogers is of the opinion that
winds of adversely are blowing at him
with a vengeance these days. John is
not law abiding citizen according to
the strict letter of the law, for he
will sell booze when he gets a chance.
For the past few weeks he has been
fairly successful, having sold as high
as a case a day. Unfortunately he
let out this information where an Of
ficer of the law heard it and he got
pinched.
Yesterday he had fine of 500 to
pay into the city treasury, this morn
ing he faced Judge Hardee on the
same charge and when the trial was
over he had one of two things to do
either pay $50 and the costs or go to
the county farm.
John is now up against a peculiar
proposition and at the present time
he is undecided which of the two prop
ositions he will accept, however, he
says that to sell booze comes too high
for him and he has decided to cut out
his part of it from now on.

is by Eugene Walter who is also the
author of paid in Full" and "The
Easiest Way The locale of "The
Wolf" is laid in the Hudson Bay vicin-
ity, and portrays a group of rugged
characters typical of Canada's frontier
as picturesque as they are human.
The main personel are MacTavish
hard headed Scotchman, whose wife
has long since left him on account of
his nagging, leaving him a beautiful
daughter Hilda, the counterpart of
her mother and the central figure in
the drama, Jules Beaubien. a young
French Canadian, a wholesome char
acter. barve, sturdy, true and frankly
in love with Hilda: William MacDon-

of American wit and humor, who de-
lights in tantalizing his COLLEAGUES,

and Ba'tiste lie Grand, a quiet, hut
revengeful French nomad, brooding
over his lost love, the sister of Beau
bien, who has been betrayed and driv-
en- to suicide by her disgrace before
! the opening of the play. The story
depicts the maneuvres between Beau
bien and Macdonald to win Hilda-the
former for his wife, and the latter fer
his mistress. Ba'tiste discovers that
the villainous Macdonald was the very
man responsible for the misery and
death of his beloved Annette, and
wishes to kill him at once, but Beau.
bien, as brother of the dead girl, re-
serves that revenge for himself.
While the play as whole, is one
of sylvan simplicity, it presents many
phases from Ibsenesque problem to
farcical scenes, but with melodrama
predominating throughout, especially
in the last act, which the New York
critics declared to be one of the most
thrilling ever written. and yet per
fectly natural. plausible and true to
, life.

a modern college, for the scenes are
laid at Columbia University. A rous-
ing football game, which aids materi-
ally in the development Of the drama
sends the first half of the play rap
idly and realistically to a tumultu-
Gus climax. The undercurrent of ser.
iousness which underlies the breezy,
unflagging comedy Of the earlier
scenes first comes to the surface in the
second act, when Strongheart is
wrongfully accused of an act of treach-
cry. The racial prejudice then aroused
eliminates when it is discovered that
Strongheart is a sutton for the hand
of Dorothy Nelson, the sister of his
college chum. And yet what more nat.
ural than that Strongheart should Sc,
lecth his wife among a people who
have welcomed him to their homes,
have made him the leader in their
sports; in fact, have made him as one
of themselves.
He is the son of mighty chief,
who, after graduating at Carlisle, has
been sent by his tribe who appreciate

has won the love of Dorothy, who not

their future chief. This romatic theme
serious in its aspect, is developed to
logical conclusion through the scenes
typical of college life of today with its
youth, it's gaiety and its frolic. There
is comedy, clean, healthful; comedy in
plenty contributed by series of fresh
conventional types, such as really peo-
pie our colleges today not such as

alternating standpoint of comedy and
dramatic intensity, would alone in

when combined with a story so absorb

Nelson, it is certain to appeal 70
