Hazelden farm may be easily identi-

that AIDE acted innocently; that he

American drama, "The Wolf" after
long engagements both in Chicago and
New York This romance of the
great Canadian northwest holds It's
audience closely throughout a series
of scenes, ending in one of the most
cleverly conceived and intensely ex-
citing climaxes yet seen on the stage.
The story of "The Wolf has to do
with one Andrew MacTavish, a rugged
old Scotch settler, who, deserted by
his Swedish wife, is driven to mono
mania by the blow. He believes that
all women and especially the pretty
daughter she has left him are filled
with evil. He is very hard with the
girl, but nevertheless guards her so
jealousy that she reached her 21st
year without having even heard the
word "love."
Jules Beaubien, stalwart young
French Canadian, who spends his sum-
mers in the neighborhood, learns to
love the innocent girl, but postpones
his declaration because of her sweet
childishness. He is attended by a
faithful Frenchman, Batiste LeGranl,
who was the fiance of Jules sister
Annette, dead by her own hand, after
desertion by the man with whom she
had eloped.
William Macdonald, a railroad con-
tractor from the states, arrives and
applies himself assiduously to the
winning of the Scotian's pretty daugh-
ter, Hilda. Jules discovers that he is
the man responsible for Annette's sad
end and from that moment on It is
certain that the contractor will meet
death at the hands of either Jules or
Batiste. with the odds strongly IN

bien,

Mrs. Carter in New Triumph.-Mrs.
Leslie Carter has done some good
things since her adoption OF the the
atrical profession, but those who saw
her last evening at the Grand, Daven-
port, as ''Vasta Herne," agree that she
has eclipsed her long line of earlier
triumphs Possibly the most brilliant
audience that has assembled in play
house the present season was out 70
see her The play, while somewhat
different in theme to those formerly
enacted By the distinguished performer,
embodies all of the features permit
ting IF full latitude for the emotional
talents of the star. Mrs. Carter, as
has always been the case with her,
has in her support a company of su-
perior excellence, while the mounting
and staging OF the production is per
lection. Mrs. Carter this season has
bIossomed forth as her own manager,
having broken with David Belasco,
after many years under his direction.
1t was Belasco, in fact, who took Mrs.
Carter up after her divorce from her
husband in Chicago, and trained and
developed her into one of the leading
stage women of the time. Mrs. Carter
apparently has been prospering. for
she makes the announcement she is
soon 20 be in the same class as Maxine
Elliott and is to have a theater of her
own in New York City. Mrs. Carter
was warmly received last night, there
being frequent curtain calls for her.
