Those who see The Wolf under the
direction OF Stair & Havlin. incorporated,
at the Academy tomorrow evening will
find themselves In the vast woodlands OF
Northern Canada, where the breezes are
fragrant OF pine 1t is autumn. and the
scene that IS laid before the eye is the
clearing in front Of the house OF old
McTavish His is a lonely home There
only lives with him his daughter. golden
haired Hilda.
The house becomes the rendezvous for
party OF American engineers. led by
Macdonald. a man whose acute. broad
mind makes possible the building Of
road over steep mountains and through
valleys. And even as he is a guest at
the house OF McTavish. there are two
men at his elbow who have for two years
been hunting him-men who have a single
idea as to what they will do when they
meet him. They are resolved TO Kill
him. For Mcdonald had in years back
met Annette. a pretty little half breed
Ojibway girl. had courted her, won her
confidence. betrayed her, then left her
to bear her shame And she had not been
able to bear it. She had wandered half
crazed with grief and shame into a biz

cover the death which she had suffered
because Of McDonald's treachery.

II was while lie Grand was away in the
North working for the Hudson Bay Com
pany that Mcdonald appeared and with
his suavities and worldliness misled the
simple girl into believing that his love
was honest and that he meant to marry

Jules and Batiste have been hunting
this man for two years, Jules by artful
talk IN which he causes Mcdonald 10 be-
lieve that he. also. is libertine. has got
from McDonald's own lips the pitiful
story of Annette. There is a further stu
alton that makes Jules anger against
Mcdonald rise. even to the white heat
that 1t has always been. Jules is ,in love
with Hilda, and It is plain that Mcdonald
is seeking to injure this girl-woman as
he did little Annette
This is the situation, and how II all
works out forms a theme Of human In
terest from which the attention OF the
audience cannot be diverted while It
works before their eyes to its tragic end:
and this end furnishes. so It is said. one
Of the most tremendous emotional scenes
ever presented.
