in conference with _Hardin_, furiously accuses him of being the wronger of his daughter and demands that he instantly marry her--as an alternative to being instantly slain with her. To save the girl, himself, and her to him unknown lover, _Hardin_ agrees to do so, privately assuring _Wetona_ that the marriage shall be one in name but not in fact, and, a clergyman being conveniently accessible, the wedding is at once performed. Afterward _Wetona_, collapsing, calls upon the name of her _Anthony_--thus discovering to her husband her resolutely guarded secret. Later, _Wells_, ensconced in the home of _Hardin_ and supposing himself unsuspected and secure, seeks to resume his relation with _Wetona_, but is repulsed by her until a divorce (to which _Hardin_ will connive) shall have been obtained and he shall have fulfilled his promise of marriage. Then the perfidy of _Wells_ is revealed to _Wetona_ and she revolts from him; _Quannah_ discovers the truth; _Hardin_, though righteously wrathful against _Wells_, tries to save him from the vengeance of the Indians (providing him with weapons and a steed) but fails,--that rascal being shot and killed as he attempts to ride away in the night,--and the injured, forlorn Indian girl humbly and thankfully confesses to _Hardin_ her contrition, her gratitude for his protective generosity, the affection with which he has inspired her, and her glad willingness to remain with him as his wife. The ethics of all this will hardly bear scrutiny--but the dramatic effect of it in representation was undeniable; and, perhaps, where virtue is, presumably, intended it is to consider too curiously to consider further. Miss Ulric presented with vigor, skill, simplicity, sustained continuity of identity, and remarkable force a true, pathetic, and alluring ideal of unsophisticated girlhood, confiding feminine ardor and passionate distress, and she gained an auspicious success.--The cast of “The Heart of Wetona,” as acted at the Lyceum under the management of Belasco and a corporation called “Charles Frohman, Inc.,” is appended: [Illustration: Photograph by Abbe.
