It is by Eugene Walter, who is also the author of "Paid In Pull," both plays running simultane ously at Broadway theatres last sea son.- The locale of "The Wolf la4ald In the Hudson bay vicinity, and por trays a group of rugged characters typical of Canada's frontier as pic turesque as they are human. - The main personal are MacTavlah, a hard-headed Scotchman, whose life has long since left him on account of his nagging, leaving him a beautiful daughter, Hilda, the counterpart of her mother and the central 11 sure in the drama; Jules Beaubien, a young irrencn Canadian, a wholesome char acter, brave, sturdy, true and frankly in love with Hilda; William McDon ald, an American ctvil engineer, for warding the construction of a new ranroaa, who is the rival or Beau blen for the conquest of Hilda, though unworthy, for he has a wife and' chil dren In the States and regardsHHda as a prey to his - caprice; George Huntley, a light-hearted but sturdy youth, full of American wit and hu mor, who delights in tantalising his colleagues, much to the amusement of the audience, and leding -comedy to the piece; and B'Atlste Le Grand, a quiet but revengeful French nomad, brooding over his lost love, the sister of Beaubien, who has been betrayed and driven to suicide by. her disgrace before the opening of the- play. The story depicts the maneuvres between Beaublen and MacDonald to win Hilda the former for his wife and the latter for his mistress. B'Atlste discover that the' villainous McDon ald was the very man responsible for the misery and death of his beloved Anette, and wishes to kilt him at once, but Beaublen, as brother of the dead girt, reserves that revenge upon him self. . i . - While the play as' a whole Is one of sylvan simplicity. It presents many phases from Ibaenesque problem ' to farcical scenes, .but with melodramatic-, predominating throughout, es peclall in the lact act, which the New Tork 'Critic declared - to be one' of the most thrilling ever wrlten, and yet perfectly natural, plausible and tru to life. s i MOHGANTON'S FINE SCHOOLS.
