duced at the New Theatre on Monday
night. The central figure OF THE Ar
row Maker is a Chisera. or medicine
woman OF the tribe. through whom the
author seeks TO demonstrate the unity
OF human lie from the beginning 10
the end. She holds that there Is no real
difference In man. no matter what his
lot may be. and that the events which
transp're among the Indians could and
DO transpire daily among the most civil
lied Of peoples. Because OF her unusual
powers the Chisera has been made an
important parsonage IN the tribe. but for
this prominence she has been forced 20
pay an unusual price. To increase her
value the chieftaln has decided that she
must not marry or take an interest IN

iage). that she can 40 continually before
the gods FOR the benefit OF her people.

and prepares TO marry the chiefs daugh-
ter. The Chisera, unawars OF her lovers
ambition and perfidy, arrives nt the
campody the day the ceremony IS TO lie
performed. and in her grief invades the
wedding and accuses her ~betrayer. The
new war lord meets her accusations with
a bold denial, but the m persists
and tells the tribe that everything Sim
wa has achieved IN lie has been through
her agency and help. To prove her word
true she declares that she will withdraw
her aid. and prophesies that the man.

The prophecy comes TO pass. and It is
not until the Chisera finds the love she
needs in the children OF the tribe that
she once more makes medicine with
happy results. Edith Wynne Mat.hison
