1.-The Wolf"

One Of the real success in New

Walter, author of Paid in Full" and
THE Easiest Way" will be seen at

drama in The Wolf" it holds the at
tention at all times and can be set
down as an effective play One of

then almost unknown author.
There are three acts, and the action
begins in the morning and is ended
the next morning in the Canadian
Hudson Bay Country. The villain is
an American adventurer named Mac
madam named Jules Beaubien, and the
heroine, the daughter of a narrow
minded Scotchman, named MacTav-
ish. whose wife fled from his leaving
a daughter, Hilda. Macdonald is re-
vealed as a scoundrel of the worst
type but not a coward. When the
curtain rises on the first act. which
shows the exterior of MacTavish's
cabin. it is intimated, that Macdonald
has betrayed the sister of Beaubien.
He eventually becomes rival of
Beaubien for the hand of the Scotch
mans daughter. Macdonald. by a
lie. tricks the Sccotchman into an
agreement to allow Hilda to go with
him to the states. Young Beaubin,
who loves Hilda, denounces MacDon-
aid as the betrayer of his sister. The
denunciation occurs in the second act
and is one of the best scenes Ill the
play. The third act discloses Beau
bien. Hilda and their companions
resting at the Portage of Little Bear

da and Beaubin plight their troth and
then cousigning her to the care of his
faithful companions. he awaits Mac
Donald. There is terrific Struggle

most realistic ever staged.
The play has strong dramatic YER
tebrae and its long run at the Lyric
theatre. New York, proves it to be one
of the seasons most interesting pro
auctions.

sowardly, ignoble as they were intend
ed to be generous, brave and admir-
able. But the pth of the characteri-
cation was that he was hunchbacked
and physically misshapen. His tragedy
brought the first laughter to the world.
Even the ympian gods laughed at
Vulcan because he was a cripple The
successor of Thersites was the jester
of the feudal lord. A great nobleman's
fool might also be a wit but first
of all he must be deformity. The
trouble and humiliation which only
death could end brought the element
of comedy and cheer into the lives of
those who did not have to share them
Fortunately those crude and brutal
manners has passed away Gradual
ly the adult word has come to render
to the physically deformed the utmost
measure of sympathy and consider

is in the primitive human heart. I'm
consciously they are often unspeak-
ably cruel to the defOrmed And
though it's outward manifestations
have changed the essential nature of
man has not. The spirit of comedy is
still the same, but instead of laughing
at real troubles we laugh at make
believe ones. A witty line entertains
us once and then loses it's edge, but
a humorous situation which depicts
good man in undeserved difficulties
amuses indefinitely. William Collier
once gave as a formula to a play
him this line: Keep me in trouble
And it is the recognition of this prin-
ciple of comedy which makes Mr.. Col

rise of the first curtain on his new
play, "A Lucky STAR to the final

takes the place of line and explains
that he understands the ruse that is
being tried to deprive him of the de-
sirable place between the two girls at
table. For the rest things are always
going wrong with him, and the worse
they become the funnier he is. The

According to a prominent theatrical
manager. there will soon be a test
mate theatres of the city on Sunday
while permitting vaudeville and vari-
ETY. houses to give performances, I'M
der the guise of sacred concerts"
which are little different from the
week day bills.
That is vital mater which is still
being agitated, and will continue to
be an issue until settled definitely in
the courts of legislature one way or
another.
Mayor Gaynor's attention has been
called to the matter, and in the near
future a prominent manager of legiti
mate plays will make a test case by
giving a dramatic production in one of
his theatres on a Sunday night.
If an arrest follows this perform
ance and the case is decided unfavOr
ably to the manager he will invoke
the law to force vaudeville managers
to live up strictly to the letter and
spirit af the statute under which such
prohibition is enforced.
There is hardly a sacred concert
given at the vaudeville houses which
does not transgress the law in various
ways About the only manner i'll which
the performances are kept within the
prescribed limits is in regard to the
regulation that the curtain shall not
be raised and lowered or the scenery
shifted.
