“The Rosary.”

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 publis 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 tin play. The role of Father Brian Kelly is cleverly Interpreted by Harry M. Royals
