It must be remembered, how ever. that within a quarter of an hjmr i after the fair Sylvia has extracted from Irving a promise to be generous I to his rival, who is an underclassman, i at West Point, where he is a member ! of the graduating elass, she suddenly comes upon a scene that shocks her j beyond measure and naturally shakes her faith not only in Duncan Irving, but in all men. On the ground lies j oung Stafford, groping as if in the I dark and complaining that he can't j see. and standing over him is Duncan Irving .admitting that he struck the Idow that blinded the boy at his feet.

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.

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.
