Vir ginian stage drama praised for closer fidelity and new ending
Historic portrayal by Kirke LaShelle evolves into a stronger dramatization of Owen Wister's novel The Virginian.

Conwell earns praise for the demanding role, and Frank Crampeau as Trampas receives fitting, restrained menace. The revised third act introduces a mountain pass lynching, heightening drama while preserving the original arc. The Virginian runs for a single week in Boston with strong audience response.
