was made as simple as possible.

Dorothy Marke, who comes here
with an enviable reputation as an emo
tional leading woman, who has more
than made good, will have many op-
portunities to do intense dramatic
work as Thelma, and as this is num-
bered among her successes, there is a
certainty it will be we'll played by her.
AS Britta, the Norwegian comedy
part of the play, dainty and winsome
Mabel Gypzene will be decidedly in
her element as she is unquestionably
a coincidence of marked ability. She
always gives every part her best eff
forts and this will be no exception.
AS Lord Bruce Errington, Jack Ros-
coe, the handsome and capable leading
man will be cast to advantage. 1t is a
forceful part and one that requires
good acting throughout and Mr.. Ros-
coe will measure up to it.
AS the dwarf Seagard, Mr.. Peruchi
will be seen in a role which he has es-
saved often with much success. He
is one of the painstaking actors seen
here in stock and everything he as
sdmes is done well.
AS Orlof Guldemar, the Norwegian
upon whom devolves much of the act
ing during the play, Edward Clarke,
recognized as one of the best charac-
ter men in stock will have his first real
chance to show his histrionic ability.
He is entirely familiar with the requi-
sites of the part and there is no doubt
that the local patrons will be quick to
recognize his merits. He will correct
ly dress the character and should win
his way into popular favor.
Owen Coll, the heavy man OF the
company, will be assigned role adj
mirably suited to him. Stewart E.
Wilson, one of the capable members
of the company, will likewise have a
good part.
Elizabeth Eldredge will be given
more scope as the actress in the play
She has versatility which will make
itself evident.
Mrs. Charlotte M. Stanley, charac'
ter woman of unquestioned merit, will
be splendidly cast and will surely give
good account of herself. Alice De
lane will also have part that will
give her dramatic talent full sway

"Ah, Sue, don't say that?"
But Suzanne merely laughed, and
rose from the deep arm chair. She
knew perfectly well how charming she
was, and how she held Don Hamilton's
heart on her own pink palm. And the
very surety had begun to bore her. 1t
had been unfortunate, their falling in
love so soon, at the beginning Of the
summer season, and now at early fall.
It seemed an old story.
Blanche had succeeded in arousing
her curiosity over her wonderful ex-
plorer brother. Don had never ex-
plored any unknown territory except
her own heart. She would go down
to Tressac Island and see this celeb
rity, and without Don. And she went.
The whole island was owned by the
Janeways. It lay like a beautiful
green emerald far out in the lake. Aft
er the excitement and restless life at
the seashore resort Suzanne found It
folding a spell of enohantment about
her, the peace and dreamy langor that
hung over the entire place.
It was the fifth day. She had writ
ten one letter to Don-one only. Was
not love on furlough? And not a
word had she heard in reply. It was
queer Of Don to act that way. He had
no perspective on life, she told her
self. Carl Janeway was keen on per.
