is the daughter of the steel mill owner

to be a remarkably clever and pretty
young woman who understands the
use of the wireless and who, with the
aid of the lieutenant and regular wire
less operator, contribute to the play a
scene that has no parallel in the mat
ter of sensational intensity. This big
wireless scene is a masterpiece of in
genious stagecraft, for the yacht rocks
and losses and lurches with the storm
and there is absolutely no feature of a
big storm at sea that is not reproduced
on the stage with a fidelity that is
strikingly perfect.

Lieutenant Somers, Frank Camp will
play the crafty and unprincipled SUI
perntendent, Florence Oakley will be

owner and father of the heroine,
Charles Ruggles will be a young

name is O'Brien and who has a sin
gular gift for slang. Harry Andrews
will for three and one-half acts be an
accomplish of the villainous superin-
tendent and the rest of the Belasco
people will be found in roles in which
they will have fine chances to distin-
guish themselves.
