FAMOUS SKETCH
FEATURE AT ORPHEUM.
ALASKAN MELODRAMA
: NEXT At THE SPOKANE

men he reanIizes the need of a
woman's care for the babe and In
dire straits he marries an Indian
squaw. The play opens Is or more
years later when the girl is grown
up in the belief that she is half
breed By this time the United
States government begins to take
a hand in the government of the
new territory and sends officers to
preserve law and order. One of the
duties of the officer Is to rout out
criminals believed to be harbored
in the community. The once re-
jected sweetheart is one for whom
the officers are searching, but he
endeavors to cover his identity
with his changed name and the
fact that the supposed half breed
daughter is his child. The officer
falls in love with the girl, but be-
cause of his proud Kentucky blood
is in mental agony. Finally he
yields to the love passion and re-
nouncing family connections asks
the girl to marry him. At this
juncture the husband appears on
the scene and again recognizes the
former sweetheart of his wife, and
accuses him. A fight follows and
the husband is killed in the en-
counter, not before, however, he
confesses his guilt. Here the hero
discloses the real identity of the
girl and the mesh of disallusions
and difficulties is cleared up.
The play is to be well cast.
The plot is intense and alive with
dramatic possibilities. Four acts
are required to tell the story In
the Rex Beach style, but the drama
tization employed by the Baker
stock company is complete and
realistic. The play has been pro-
nounced one of the strongest drama
of the day

Real Alaskan melodrama, lifted
to the heights Of the virile drama
will be the offering of the Baker
Stock company at the Spokane the
ater this week, when the "The
Barrier" written by Rex Beach, will
be produced. The play opens with
the regular Sunday matinee and
continues through the week with
the usual Wednesday and Saturday
matinees.
1.-The Barrier" Is one of Rex
.,Nach's most absorbing stories of
NE on. the gold country frontier
in Alaska. He has woven beau-
tiful story of rugged love around
the BARRIER" which is the supposed
Indian blood of the heroine of the
story. The famous author has
neither local color nor intense pas
sion to satisfy his desire to pro-
duce a stirring story, and that he
has succeeded Is evident in the
marked success Of the play in its
former engagements when Theo-
dore Roberts carried the heavy
role.
The story is primarily that of mis-
placed love, told in all the virility
of a man who seems to have lived
through its hardships. The plot
centers around a girl babe who Is
born of mother in destitute cir.
cumstances after the father has de-
serted them. In her hour of need,
the woman calls upon a former
lover who comes to the rescue. The
father returns and in fit Of
Jealous rage kills the woman and
attempts to place the blame upon
his one time rival. His attempt Is
successful, and the rescuer flees
with the babe to q new town in
