Robert Kdeson and company in "The Call of the North," a drama in four acts by George H. Broadhurat; founded on the story called "Cojurors House," by Stewart Edward White; under the direc tion of Henry B. Harris. .The cast: Ned Trent Robert Edeson Galen Albret Stephen Wright Rodman Rand Albert McUovern tr. Corkburn Lawrence Eddlnger John MacDougal 8pottlswoode Altken Sandy MoTavlsh Seymour Stratton Achilla I'lcaxd Harrison Ford Rev. Archibald Crane Percival Aylmer M-Kn-Oan Joseph Rawley Matthews John Fox Placlde Gus Landis Virginia Albret Ann Mtirdock Mr. Brockton Maude Knowlton Julie Bagneau Beatrice Prentice It'a all right; the chorus of critics that has followed along the route of "The Call of the North" might be swelled by another small voice, and the answer Is the same. The people who pay to get In like it, and by their applause make It very plain that they do like it. And in no role he has yet assumed has Mr. Edeson been more cor dially welcomed or called before the cur tain at the end of each act with greater persistency. So, what's the use of discur sive consideration of the drama as such which It Isn't drama at all. but the very frankest of melodrama, and only lacks the fulness of the "papers" to be a regular one. It tells a gwod story of Its kind, one that has the essence of romance and the great north wood, and the coldness of the Hud son bay winters, and the sternness of life In those Icebound regions, fell through it, and the hot, quick love of a man for a maiden, and the hotter pasalon of hate and the desire for vengeance and the thirst for blood. "The Conjuror's House" was the sort of a story that la called "gripping," and from it a play has been made that is also "gripping." however much It may lack of real merit. Mr. Edeson finds In Ned Trent some op portunity for his fine qualities as an actor. The part is not all trat one might wish, but It Is clean, and show. a strong man bent on his work, and daring -everything to achieve his end, vedgence for a father's murder. Hs sudden-born love for a girl turns him aside from a mean act, and he faces the death that threatens rather than betray her. These situations give 'ample sccpe for his powers of expression, and at times he lifts the part far above Its "level. He also saves it several times from de spending to cheap heroics and thus wins again the praise be isao accustomed to receiving. Two very tense scenes are enacted by Mr. Edcsgn in the third act; one with Miss Murdocfcl V hen Ned Trent confesses his love for her, and one with Mr. McCavern, when Trent and young Rand struggle for possesajoa ct the revolver. These provide thrills enough to compensate for the lack of action in other prts, and also provltte reason for ' th curtain calls Uiaf brought-forth a very modest speech from Mr. Edeson last night. The Scotch are called ou to afford the comedy of the play, and MiTavivh and McDuugal era sufficiently humorously presented to suit anyone) Searching for fua Their compact aa to. marriage is broken in such way aa to auggeat farce comedy, but not the perspicacity of the canny, pawkie chiels who first entered Ipto it "Weemin" may have all the power for evil that Me Tsvlsh ascribes to tbtnu hot it Is doubt ful if any women ever Jived, not excepting Helen of Troy, who could have moved Bandy or Jock to the sudden avowal they ''iim"""1! jfpruag da .airs. Eruckton But Messrs. Altken and Stratton evidently enjoyed doing it. Miss Murdock is doing her best as Vir ginia Albret, and it Is considerable. She lacks experience, and when that comes she will be worth while watching In Just such a part as she Is playing now, and possibly one even more serious. Her youth and her earnestness are all In her favor. Beatrice Prentice won a scene call last night by her presentation of the character of the little half-breed girl. It was one of the most enjoyable contributions of the whole af fair. Miss Knowlton Is good as the widowed sister of the post doctor, who embroils the Scotchmen In a love affair, and who defies the factor In his own coun cil chamber. Lawrence Eddinger Is doing a smaller part and one that Is more grateful than he had in "Classmates," but Is doing It as conscientiously. Mr. Wright Is very good as Galen Albret. the stern old factor, and Mr. Ford and Mr. Rawley add two very good character parts to the whole. The staging of the play has been care fully done, and adds not a little to its effect. ARRESTED FOR AN OLD CRIME Mn Who Escaped from Tennessee Penitentiary Rlghtem Years Ago : Found In Illinois.
