that master of stage wizardy for his
or her adaptability to portray the

Tiger Rose is the name given to
girl of mood and intense affection,
who seeks to hide her lover from
his pursuers, and who brings both
wit and courage to his assistance.

the remote Hudson bay country has

brain. Roses lover has been ac-
cused OF a crime. An adrnirer Of
Rose, a constable of the northwest
mounted police, seeks to capture
him. Rose determines to aid her
loved one and through her knowl-
edge OF the country almost causes
him to escape. A storm arises and
the lovers are trapped in a deserted
log cabin in the dense primeval for
est. Explanations follow and logi-
cal ending takes place.
The locale has given Mr.. Belasco
congcnial opportunities for his
craftsmanship, in which he is said to
make the stage illusions comparable
to nature herself. This pictorial
skill he has conferred on two set
tings, the home OF the Hudson bay
trapper and the deserted cabin.
They are elaborated with beauty
which makes them masterpieces OF
