Edward Mil- ton Royle the author may well feel proud of his success. The Squawman is a four-act comedy drama. Mr. Fa- versham, of course, has the role of Capt Jas. Wynnegate, afterward Jim Carston. The scene opens "n an Eng- lish garden where the captain learns of the disgrace of his kinsman the Eaii of Kerhtll. who has embezzled trust funds and is unable to make them good. Exposure and ruin Is threatened.

Jim has married a squaw, but the story ends with the death of his wife who boy to England to be educated in real English fashion. Her simple mind can not fathom the reasons and dis sa only the separation which she can not l>ear. Jim's cousin, the earl, dies after a confession of his crime and Ills for- tune belongs to Jim for the as king . It is a brilliant and daring play. Mr. Faversham's part suits him weU. His is a strong and manly character, and he presents it in a strong and manly fash- ion. Mr. Campbell, as Big BUI, made a hit in the part. Hla makeup was good and he surprised even his friends with bla vMd pottiaytl of the roua^ western Udlaa. SOIene Johnson was a most attractive countess and Mabel Morrison's portrayal of Nat-u-rltch, the chlers daughter whom Jim Cars- ton iiiaiilaa. naa an aiinallsnt ploee of The Saaamnui ii a success.
