PRETTY STAGE PICTURES
IN BELASCO PRODUCTION
The Call of the North Is Lacking
in Great Dramatic
Worth
BY SHIRLEY OLYMPUS

Beautiful stage settings and lndl-
vidual artistic efforts do not make
drama any more than fine raiment ana
a few borrowed phrases make man.
The touch of genius must be somewhere
hidden to make the pull of intensity felt
in the play, just as the soul must be
dominant in the human to make the
man. otherwise each is commonplace
1t is thus with The Call of the North.
1t is not a good nor yet a very bad
pIav. 1t simply is a commonplace thing
dressed magnificently, and having "a
thin veneer of borrowed greatness.
It's all about the Hudson Bay com
many and the Hudson Bay country,
and 1.-The long journey" from when no
man returns. Ned Trent is a perfectly
good hero who has set himself the
task of avenglng his fathers murder.
Virginia Albret, daughter of Galeh
Albret, factor for the Hudson BAY
company. falls in love with said hero
because of his many heroic acts. Now
it isn't quite the proper thing Tor
Virginia to aid the hero because 1t
happens to be Virginias father VINO
sent the hero's father to his death
But she aids him. He escapes only TO
be retaken. After many explanations
it is found a terrible mistake has been
made. The hero is allowed his chance
to take the life Of his fathers slayer,
but being a perfectly good hero, Ned
Trent refuses after his sweetheart has
pleaded long and earnestly with him
to spare her fathers life. Ned Trent
is allowed to depart in peace, much TO
the satisfaction and relief of all con-
cerned. OF course it is understood
from the very first moment the nero
looks into Virginia's eyes, about MD
way in the first act, that she Will leave
the trading post some day and go up TO
Quebec there to meet and marry her
hero and live happily ever after.
The two characterizations which ap-
peared to be the most artistic and fin
ished were not given by the leading
neople. And no reflection is cast on
either Lewis S. Stone or Florence Oak
ley. However, in strictest honesty, one
must say that Charles Giblyn's por-
trayal of the middle-aged Scotchman
and Charles Ruggles' acting OF the
French Canadian Achille Picard are
artistic. Mr.. Giblyn's dialect is mar
velous and his acting in keeping there
with. Mr.. Ruggles, always exceptional
in character work, has added new
laurels to himself. Mr.. Stone as Ned
Trent gives his usual faithful and
Iikeable performance. His dress seems
to be more like the wild and woody
west than the white and frozen north.
William Yearance as the hard-hearted
factor is acceptable at first but makes
a big impression in the last act The
same may be said of James X. Apple
bee, who has the role of the Rev. Arch
ibald Crane in his keeping. Margaret
Langham does a clever bit of emotional
work in the second act. Helene Sulli-
van wears a skirt-I think it is one of
those "divided' affairs-the hang of
which is enough to make a dressmaker
sit up and take notice. Aside from the
skirt, Miss Sullivan enlivens things ?
bit as a widow with a sense of humor.
Others in the cast are more than sat
isfactory.
1.-THE Call of the North" is almost
worth seeing for the scenery.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-14

bly, it is the timeliness of the act
Possibly it is the personality Of the two
actors Possibly it is new jokes told
in new manner and old ones with all
the tarnish taken off in the telling
Whatever the reason, Camping Out
is better than any other new act on
the bill. There's no plot or reason to
Camping Out" 1t is simply a dia-
logue which makes those who have
taken a summer vacation in the open
and those who contemplate such pro
cedure, laugh unrestrainedly.
Frank Fogarty. the Dublin min
strel" with his Irish wit and pointed
stories, is entertaining. Mr.. Fogarty
has a way all his own of telling his
stories-a way which does not appeal
to the writer as being particularly
novel or artistic
Mag Haggerty's Reception" isn't
very much of a laugh producer, nor
is it much of dramatic gem APP
parently the real purpose of the whole
affair is to allow Thomas j. Ryan
opportunity of showing how a "Shanty-
town." hod-carrying Irishman behaves
when he is taken from his own element
into a realm of Goldfish aristocracy.
The actions of the Irishman are mlrth-
provoking for some spectators.
The Morrissey sisters and brothers
in a clever singing and dancing turn,
James Harrigan, tramp juggler, whose
assistant in the audience is worth nall
of Mr.. Harrigan's salary; the ON
votti troubadours, an act far too good
for opening position. and the Mascagno
brothers, gymnasts, are other enjoy
able portions of the program. Helen
Grantley and her company, presenting
'The Agitator," and a set of new
moving pictures complete the Dill
which, taken by and large, is capable
of causing an average amount OF
laughter and enjoyment. S. o.
After prolonged darkness the Mason
opera house will reopen Monday with
William Collier in his newest farce

ably the only comedian who has stuck
religiously to the business of manu-
featuring laughter The engagement
at the Mason opera house is for one
week.
