Of its dramatization at the Fargo
operahouse on Tuesday evening.
1t is not surprising that those who
have come to know Mr.. Wister's cow
boy hero should long to see his pres
ent presentment. rarely has more
lovable and manly character been
made the central figure of a story. He
is the embodiment of what eastern peo-
pie in the cities love to red about, be-
cause he has the good and bad quail
ties which the older civilization lccks.
The Virginian had killed his man. He
had gambled--he had not led life OF
spotless purity among the conditions
that obtained in the western camp in
that early day, A lynching, in which
he helps to string up some cattle
thieves, takes place whil1 he is court
ing the girl from the east; anc on
the eve of their honeymoon he meets
a scoundrel in the street and Dispatch
es him after the uncermonious fashion
Of the frontier But he is strong,
brave, generous, sound at heart, full
of resources, a man to trust and de-
pend upon The difference between
the conventional wild west hero of the
8 cent novel and the hero of Mr., Wis
ter's book, is that the latter is real. He
Is a man. One may not like all he
does but that is the way such man
would act, and 1t is that truthfulness
that gives realism and vitality to the
story.
1t is all sheer romance, we must re-
member, and therefore we have the
elements of the romantic life shorn
down to their harest and most primi-
tive factors There is the hero; there
is the girl of his heart; there is his
enemy. And that is quite enough,
surely, for out of such factors come all
the tragedy and comedy, the laughtev
and tears of our workaday world. The
girl of his heart called Molly Wood
Is superior to him in social station
though his inferior in nature. A dainty
little heroine she Is, full of wilfu.ness
and it is part of his duty to assist In
the lynching of his old friend and COM
rade. The scene is extremely touch
ing, being OF exceptional power arc
pathos. for it is well known that Steve
is more sinned against thar SHINING
having been led astray by the strong
win of Trampas. This episode Of The

more merited praise than ans dramatic
scene produced on the stage of recent

It is a singular fact, yet nevertheless
a true one, that some OF the best solo
players upon the piano are absolutely
incapable of accompanying other art
tsts-either instrumentalists or vocal
lists. Likewise some famous orchestral

hampering soloists OF real tempera-
ment to considerable degree, and
thereby reducing the ensemble effect

Mrs. Leslie Carter. the leading emo
tional actress in America today, has
scored the biggest success Of her career
this season in a new play by Edward
Peple, author OF The Prince Chap. 1t Is
called Vasta Herne and is the first
strictly modern play in which Mrs.
Carter has appeared since she became
star. The play is a tense, dramatic
presentation of one of the vital prob
lens that effect society today presen-
tation that is more powerful and direct
than any sermon and which, while il
entertains as anw play should, sends
audiences away from the theatre with
the knowledge that before them has
moved the panorama of the battle Of
good and evil--the conflict which is
eternal and which lis the earliest dram
attic conflict known to history. The
play gives Mrs. Carter the greatest
opportunity she has ever had for the
display of that marvellous histrionic
ability which has won her a place in
the forefront of the American stage.
