for aid. AS she turned her head the
animal leaped. He bore his mistress to
the ground and stood over her, growl-

The quick witted assistant, reaching
into the cage, grabbed Clayton's tail,
took a double hitch around the bars of

while Mrs. Russelle was being removed
The woman was badly hurt and at
the hospital it was said that her recov

SETTLE RIVALRY ON DIAMOND
The opening of the Palace hotel
few weeks ago created some rivalry
between the watches of the Market

1t was decided to test the merits of the
two squads of bellbOys on the dia-

Yesterday was the day set. and the
Palace hotel boys gallantly rode out

THE WOLF SCORES
At SAVOY THEATER
Walters Intense MelOdrama Is
Ably Presented by Andrew
Robson and Company
CAST OF CHARACTERS
In the Melodrama OF
"The Wolf"

Andrew Robson returned to san
Francisco yesterday with Eugene Wal
ter's intense melodrama, The Wolf-
Packed houses greeted both the per-
formances Nat the Savoy theater, in
contrast to the slight attendance IL
months ago when he appeared here In
the same play.
Robson was practically unknown
here last February, and Walter, author
of paid in. Full and The Easiest
Way" as well as of The Wolf, had
not gained the recognition as drama
tist which is now accorded him.
The Wolf" is play OF the Canaoiah
Hudson bay country, the plot being
woven about the daughter of Andrew
MacTavish, an old Scotch settler The
girls mother was a Swede, who hnaily
deserted the old settler because OF his
cruelty. and the fathers bitterness
toward woman makes life unbearaole
for the girl in the old mans cabin
William Macdonald, an American
engineer surveying for a railroad, plans
to deceive the girl as he has countless
other women Jules Besubien, young
French Canadian, is in love with the
girl and takes her from the cabin when
the old Scotchman seeks to choke her
because she refused to abide by a pact
he had made with Macdonald.
The play closes with realistic
struggle in the lark, the result or
which is not known until Jules illu-
mines the face of his dead rival with
a match.
Robson was a manly frontierman. His
acting is convincing. His work in the
second act, when the girl is rescued
from her father and Macdonald, was OF
the highest order In this climax he
held the audience in a mighty grip
Harry Maitland played the role of
Macdonald very effectively. There was
force in his delineation of the deter
mined engineer with blunted morals
An exacting character role is that
of MacTavish. William Slider adapted
himself to it admirably. The comedy
work of Lynne Overman as George
Huntley, MacDonald's assistant, soft
ened the serious business of the play,
evoking much laughter.
Miss Brun Johnson did not measure
up to the strong demands made on her
by the part of the daughter. What
should be most dramatic scene is
almost spoiled by her in the last act,
when she parts with Jules, who re-
mains behind to meet Macdonald.
As Ba'tiste, nomal loyal TO Jules.
Henry Sherwood did some great char
acter work. The stage settings are
also we'll conceived.
There is wholesome entertainment in
store for those who go to the Savoy
this week The powerful scene in the
second act is one that will not son be
forgotten.
