HTHE YELLOW SHADOW -Q Continuedl from page 23 Jed Travis, acting as a crazy man, was in reality, a Secret Service detective. He proved that Gilbert Wright was the head of the Chinese smugglers and murderer of the unidentified man. His accomplice, Wong Song, had tried to frighten the Easterners so they would return to the city and thus make it possible for the gang to continue its smuggling. The sheriff took care of Gilbert Wright and being relieved of the dreadful menace, Viewcrest became a happy home for the heiress and her friends. Special credit is due Mae Griswold for her excellent portrayal of the difficult role of Hazel Wayne. a part she took just two days before the date of the play, when the illness of Iriene Gustafson forced her to give it np.
