This play, whichrS the work of Edwin Milton Royle, was presented an entire season at Wallack's Theatre, New York, and those who have seen it declare without Qualification that it is the best ot all the dramas dealing with western ranch life. Mr. Royle is thoroughly familiar with the locality in which his scenes are laid and with the manners and customs of its denizens. In his clay he has been careful to observe tne verities at all times with the result that his work thrills and throbs with real humanity. His hero is ot flesh and blood and Mr.

Dill impersonates him in such a way as to make him an actuality in the minds of the audience. The story, which is that of an expatriated Englishman who becomes a''squaw is, mames an Indian woman--and finally comes into his own again, is full of dramatic interest. Its scenes are vividly and sharply contrasted and many if its situations are unique, while its language is of that simplicity and directness which is always so effective upon the stage Clarence Bennett Co. have spared no pains nor expense to make the production complete in every particular and the stage settings, it is said, are calculated to excite wonder and admiration even of a generation of clay-goers surfeited with elaborate stage spectacles. The cast, too, is an extraordinary one, each member being selected with particular care for special adaptability to the character he or she is to present.
