Despite the chief character of a Catholic priest, ‘The Rosary,” which will be seen at the Ellis Theatre soon, is non-sectarian. This is the play which broke so many attendance records last season, and thus far, judging from the size of the audiences in other cities, the pub lfs hasn’t tired of it. Mingled with the darker colors of human tragedy is a vein of natural comedy evolved from the events which happen during the action of the play. The role of Father Brian Kelly is cleverly interpreted by Harry M. Royale.

BURGLAR CAPTURED SATURDAY NIGHT

John Morgan Played Stellar Part in Capture of One of Men Who Were in Murray’s Store. • ' '*»*' , f zZ - Night Officer Critser, while making his alley rounds Saturday night at about 12:30 o’clock, saw two mien in the rear part of the G. E. Murray & Co. store. He went to the Nowels restaurant and called Mr. Murray by telephone, and John Morgan, Virgil Denniston and one or two others went to the rear of the Murray building just as the men were bolting out. Morgan, whb is fleet of foot and full of nerve, set out after one of the men and overtook and overpowered him In C. W. Rhoades’ yard. John nailed his man by the throat and he surrendered without resistance. The other man made his escape. The captured man gave the name of Victor Greenwood. He is about 21 years of age and says that he was boro in Schenectady, N. Y. He gave the name of hds companion as Matthew Billings and states that they had been traveling together since Christmas day. The two young men had spent Friday night in the Jail, having asked for a night’s lodging. They bad also begged some on the street. They had hung about town during Saturday and that night had entered the Murray store through a rear window which had probably been left unlatched, but two “jimmies” found at the store after the flight of the men showed that they had been prepared to force an entrance even If the store had been securely locked. The men had changed their clothes from the skin out at the store, providing themselves with underwear, shirts, suits of clothes, sweaters, shoes and overcoats, although they must have been frightened away, for Greenwood had left the coat he had selected inside the store. Their discarded clothing was left at the store and was a “crummy” looking cluster of iags. The captured youth Said he did not eare what happened to him, as he had been' out of work for a long time and was tired of bumming about. He has the appearance, however, of being quite used to the ways of the world and it is not improbable that his capture at this time may save him from a worse trouble later on. It Is quite probable that he will get a trip to the state reformatory. In an effort to capture the other burglar two automobiles were sent out, one to Surrey and the other to Pleasant Ridge and possees laid out for several hours, also searching through empty cars in the freight yards and through the cars attached to freight trains that stopped here, but no trace whatever was found.

It was at first thought the two men might be some of those who had escaped from the Marion county jail at Indianapolis Friday morning, but pictures of the escaped men bore no resemblance to Greenwood. Sheriff Hoover expressed the opinion that from some things Greenwood has said, he is of the opinion that he has previously served time in some penal Institution.

Nat C. Goodwin in “Oliver Twist.”

The original New York production in five reels of "Oliver Twist” with the noted star, Nat C. Goodwin, in the title role of Fagin, will be seen at the Princess Theatre for one night, January 15th. These pictures cannot be classed with the usual photo play as they are of an entirely different class and far above anything yet produced in this line, as every member of the company is a recognized artist and the company posing for these pictures, is the original company that played at the New Amsterdam Theatre* New York, giving the all star performance of “Oliver Twist,” commemorating the one-hundTedth anniversary of the birth of Chas. Dickens. Nat C. Goodwin has long been the idol of the American theatre going public, and his portrayal of the di:culft characters is all that could be desired and his work in the pictures Is typical of the finished artist. The Interesting story of "Oliver Twist” is delightfully told and All the familiar scenes and incidents found in the widely read book are vividly and faithfully portrayed In the films.
