“THE ROSARY.”

At the present day when so many plays are being presented which deal with questionable subjects, it is a relief to turn to a drama which breathes purity and good fellowship and leads the way to a brighter view of life and humanity. Such a play is “The Rosary,” written by Edward E. Rose, expressly for Messrs. Rowland and Clifford, and produced by them. The theme of the play concerns *a man and woman happily married and surrounded with every luxury that money and culture can secure. But the husband is au unbeliever, an athiest, without faith of any kind. There is a jarring note in the household harmony, a personality at war with the peace and love of its members. No one notices this until a friend of the husband comes, Father Kelly, a priest of the modern world with a deep insight into human nature and a divine love for his fellow men. And when stress and trouble come, when the home is wrecked and husband and wife are brought down to the depths of suffering :agony, it is the priest’s calm courage and faith that saves them, drives away tne clouds of suspicion, doubt, mistrust, and brings them both into the sunlight of hope and love. The play will be seen at the Ellis theater Thursday, Jan. 15, with Harry M. Royale in the role of Father Brian the priest.
