while John Fox. jr.. let us trace the
life of June in the written page, Eugene
Walter leads us, as 1t were. by the hand.
and we follow Charlotte Walker, who
l1mpersonates the wild mountain girl
with deep sympathy and with most
delightful manner, above-beyond-the
purple tops Of the Cumberland noun
itains, into realms Of romantic love.
The audience is introduced to June
and to the man who means so much in
her life, at the very rise of the curtain.
They meet in the shadow of the tower
ling, whispering pine, natures motif of
o forest melody. Charlotte Walker,
barefooted in the character of June,
,garbed in the ragged homespun dress
foreshadows from the first the great
est of the miracles of childhood-the
dawn of love and true womanhood. The
shadow Of jealousy Is thrown across
the trail, when Dave, who hopes to
marry his cousin June. watches the
awakening of her love for Jack Hale.
Then June goes to school, and after
she returns to the cove she hears ru-
mors regarding herself and Hale, and
sees the breaking of storm. the re-
newal Of the Tolliver-Falin feud. Her
cousin Dave is a fugitive, accused OF
in doubt as to whether Hale has been
killed by Dave or not, hides him in her
bedroom. The man he shot Is carried

ing place. and there follows the conflict
between love and duty. June sounds

! one who shot him, both Hale and June
are thankful to him for the lie. The
reconciliation comes In the morning.
