6–43530.
A three act comedy, with Dawson City in 1897 as its setting. “The heroine is a dazzlingly beautiful and very rich dancer, who is worshipped by all the men and suspected by all the women.... The incidents of Arctic life are portrayed with unmistakable veracity, and the humors and mystifications of a masked ball, under frontier conditions, are set forth with freshness and vivacity.” (Nation.)
| Canadian M. 28: 399. F. ’07. 80w. |
“In the last act there is a touch of the wild which is, perhaps, a trifle too realistic, but the piece as a whole, is decidedly entertaining, and contains some well-drawn sketches of character.”

“The length of the second act and the numerous irrelevant episodes might weaken the play on the stage, but there can be no question about the dramatic effect of the conclusion.”
