JOHN DREW'S NEW ROLE
PLAYGOERS MAY INSPECT crosse
MARY NEXT SATURDAY..
Last Appearance Here of Drew and
Maude Adams i'm the Same Com
pany-Other Local Bills.

According to Alan Dale, the well-known
dramatic critic, Rosemary is an exquisite
little love story set in a refreshingly per-
fumed atmosphere. Indianapolis will have
"a chance to see this delightful play next
Saturday. matinee and night, when John
Drew and his company will present it at
Englishs Opera House. 1t Is. according TO
all the critics, the most artistic perform
ance in which Mr.. Drew has yet been seen.
AS Sir Jasper Thorndyke. who at forty
years of age falls in love with pretty Doro-
thy Cruikshank, he is described as we'll
nigh perfect. In the opening act he discov-
ers youthful clipping couple in his park,
where their carriage had broken down. Sir
Jasper proceeds at once to fall in love with
Dorothy, first having offered them the hos
pitality of his house, a grateful service TO
them, as a drenching rainstorm was sup
posed to be falling at the time. While
Dorothy is in love with William Westwood,
with whom she was clipping when the
breakdown occurred, she proceeds to hlrt
with Sir Jasper in the most approved fash
ion This goes on for two acts, and In the
third the love story comes TO a climax. Sir
Jasper gives up all idea of winning the fair
Dorothy and hands her over 10 William, a
fact that the audience never fails to la
the self-sacrifcing and unfortunate lover.
who seems much nicer than William and
SO much more advantageous in every way.
This, in brief, is the story of Rosemary,
which was all the rage in London for many
months, where it was first produced last
June by Charles Wyndham, Mary Moore
j. II. Barnes and cast of other English
favorites. In contrasting John Drew's COM
lor IlzIa
says that Maude Adams in infinitely better
as Dorothy than Mary Moore. Miss Ad-
ans, he says. is the perfection of dainty
refinement and wholesome girlish natural
ness. 1t is the most delightful piece OF
work she has ever done, according to all
her friends and admirers. and those who
saw her in The Masked Ball. more than
three years ago. will recall with pleasure
how charming she was in that play. If. as
Dorothy, she is better able to win admira-
ton than in the old play just referred to-
then. indeed Rosemary must be one OF
the dramatic treats of years. .
The last act of the play is unique. II
shows Sir Jasper fifty years after the love
episode with Dorothy. He discovers an
old diary written in her youthful days by
the girl he had loved and lost. and which
carries him back half a century to the
time when he had hoped to be happy with
her. and the curtain goes down while he is
living over again in memory those happy
days. The whole play is simple direct
and in every way appealing. 1t is never
obscured by even a shadow of a problem
and is q good. old love story. altogether
pure and without bit OF trash in it. Mr.
Drew never before had such success as
