THE PLAY LAST NIGHT
Shapespeare is of course, terribly
old-fashioned, and even if he was not,
it would be making an unutterably
trite remark to quote him as sa iug
that "the play's the thing," but it is
a I nis’. that simply calls aloud for
utterance and will not be denied.
is a 1 n ism that is brought lorcibl/
to mind just now when we have seen
Andrew Robson in "The Wolf." This
yo-v.i*. actor was not, as many Au
gustan* will distinctly recall a marl,
ed success in the pur* ol Richard Car
vel, in the play of that name, nor
has he made any particularly striking
impression in any of the other roles
we have seen hint assume; but as
Jules Besudeln he leaves nothing to
be desired.
We wonder it heredity counts for
much ,n the successful portrayal of
certain charade * Mr. Robson is a
French-Cansdian by !:'rth, if not hv id
ncation; and might there not l>e a
possibility of his inheriting from l<s
more or less Jistant ancestors some o;
the attributes peculiar to the wild life
they led In the young civilization of
ihe Canadian Hudson Bay country
which "The Wolf" is intended to per
tray. This is a problem rather dif
ficult of solution, hui I here can be
io two ways of thinking in regard to
the convincing power of the charac
terization The mere fact tha' it
seemed a part so easy to play, sjnje
thing almost anyone might success
fully essav, proved that It was pre
■ ented in accerdanci with the htch
est canons of the dramatic art, that
art which h.ts constantly held up he
lore it the standard of the natural
and the plausible. It Is a great cha--
aeter Eugene Walters ha* created
in "Jules," and it was "Jules" and
not Mr. Robson whom we saw last
night, saw to respect and admire and
sympathize with and applaud most
vigorously.
There are some v ho think that thP
cleverer work, was done by Alfied
Swenson as "MacDonald." but was
not this more palpably acting? The
character was not m altogetlu t pleas
ing one —inder ,i, It va* distinctly vll
Minous. in spite of the charm with
which both playright ami actor In
! vested it: but ii was a part that he'd
I ihe audience's attention nnfalterlnly
„ novel revel ttion ol aa
old tvpe. The Intelligence displays l
by Mr Swenson ir, miking clear this
it relation cannot be too highly com
mended.
There w ie three other men in 'he
play, and of these It would be dit
fleult to pick out a better and a bee*.
I Kaeh more »han adequately performed
his allotted task of presenting an wb
' solutely unique character. Mr La
j nar's "Andrew McTarvtsb," adml"-

I God-fearing but harsh and unloving.

THURSDAY, SEPT 17.
thor has been superlatively senerou*
in the matter of splendidly telling
'ines. Miss Palmer was rather dis
appointing as "Hilda." which is dn
impossi“e role at best, and to which
Miss Palmer did not bring the ef
fect of extreme youth robbed oi Its
natural girlishness by the sense of a
heavy wrong that one feet* to be es
sential for the most effectual rendi
tion of the part.
“The play's the thing," though, that
interests us, and this not altogether
because it was written by Flugene
Walters, who so romantically, in a
single night, leaped from obscurity
and poverty into wealth and fame, r’t
is in itself, such a play as makes an
univetsal appeal because it deals with
Nature in all her unspoiled freshness.
Because it has in it so many e'e
iner.ts of melodrama, and because it
has one superlatively Grillin'; cltp'sx,
it crowds the galleries. Because it
d"als with ceriain o“yc*.olog'c» 1 pr >b
lems, too complicated to be gone Into
here, it makes a still more forclhia
impression upon tTlose who care ! r
that which lies beneath the appar
ent situation In a at's.iia. Tne p*odno
tion is elaborate, artistic and faith
ful to actualities.
