For ninny yenrs she was cook In tlio War rm family and gave faithful and sat isfactory service. Ono summer tho entire family were nway for two mouths, hud Mr. Wnr run gave Cindy a real vacation by paying' tier full wanes for that Jlmo ' and giving her the keys to the well stocked storeroom. ' A fow days after tho return of tho family Cindy came bristling Into Mrs. Warren's silting room. "I wants mo' wages." she announced. "Why, Cindy," exclaimed tho sur prised 'mistress, "you are gutting bet ter pay tliiin any cook I know of In a family the slzo of ours. Von have a nice, comfortable room and good treat niont. Think how kind It was of Mr. Warren to give you a long vacatton with your full wages," "Dat'H It," grumbled Cindy. "Mr. Warren paid mo dat monoy fur doln' luithlu', An' now all you folks Is como back fur mo to cook fur an' wait on. An' I glta moro monoy or 1 loaves." Llpplucott's. "The Wolf," a play by Kugcn-J Walter, Is something of an original creation, with an atmosphoro of the uorthlaiid with its forests, silent and majestic, its autumn tints of sciir lei, gold mid brown, and its hiiowh nf winter that orealc beneath tho tread of tho lonely habitant. Tho plot til tho play is ono of intensity and con sistent with tlio people that Inhabit tho frontiers in tho region of Hud eon Day. As to tho players, they seemed to ho, in most cases, unfitted for their parts, with tho'possiblo exception of Henry Sherwood. .Mr. llobeson wo havo seen in other parts, and he made a handsome and dashing Itich ard Carvel, but Air. Itobesou is not a character actor. Ho has been a matinee idol too long to drop that graco of manner calculated to nppoal to tho heart of tho eaters of bon bons. Mr. Itobesou should tako Into account that the character ha por trays is the Canadian-Frenchman, n distinct typo. His make-up would havo been more suitnblo for a well-to-do vendor of bananas on Droad way than a voyagor of the north. Tho Scotchman overdoes his part, reaches his climax while tho first act is yet very new. It's a pity be didn't seo old man Stoddard play tho "Honnio Drier Hush" nnd let the lcftHnn sink deep into his heart. HenVy Mnitlaud did the part of the engineer very well. Of course, it i hard to judge one character in u . cast when tho balance of the com pany are neutralizing every jMiint ! that is made hy inconsistent acting, j Lynuo Ovesman, as (Icorgo Hunt-1 I ! .. -.1 ! I ., .1.... ! jt l"J'"K 11 cniiruuiur nun dooMi't belong in the piece, and it was certainly a great mistake of the author to introduce a light comedy part that has been worn threadbare and ought to be set away in tho gar rot with Little Hoy Itluo's tin sol dier. Of course there should Luj some comedy to lighten tho somber j huo of tho plot, but it should be; chnracter comedy. Miss limn Johnson, ns Hilda Me-i Tnvish, was not suited to the part, either by look or action. We do not j wish to seem hnrsh or over-critical,' and manv actors and actresse that, aro 'good in certain parts aro fail-j uros in othors. This play of "Thci Wolf" deals with peculiar ehnrac-l tors, and to portray them to the sat-' isfnetinn of thoFo who are familiar with tho life of Northern Canada re quires n closo study, n careful make- i up and a company of players who i aro suited to eccentric character! acting. The play as a whole, however, ; pleased tho majority of tho people, i The scenery was beautiful nnd Hip plot fascinating, It would bo worth ' one's while to see this play nfter It had been in the hands nf David He lasco, allowing him to change it in places and pick tho cast for its pro duction, but being not worse stands in some rnuk of plays.
