The sale of seats for Howard Kyle's
presentation of Rosemary" Thanks
giving, matinee and night, will begin
this morning. Briefly the story of
Rosemary" concerns the love of Sir
Jasper Thorndyke, a bachelor of forty,
for Dorothy Cruickshank, the daughter
of an old sea captain, who has eloped
with one William Westwood, an en-
sign in the East India service. The
clipping couple having met with an ac-
cident are invited to spend the night
in Sir Jasper's house where Capt. and
Mrs. Cruickshank are also invited,
having met with a similar accident at
about the same place. Next morning,
S,,I, Ts,4rN se-
to be crowned, Capt. Cruickshank
finds his daughter and her fiance, but
Sir Jasper's diplomacy wins the faith
erS consent to the marriage of the
young couple. Meanwhile, Sir Jasper,
who has fallen desperately in love with
Dorothy, invites the party to London
to witness the coronation. Arrived in
London his love is disclosed to Doro-
thy, who gives him a leaf from her
diary and a sprig of rosemary that's
for remembrance.
Prof. Jogram, a lifelong friend of
Sir Jasper, shows the latter his duty
toward the young couple and the cur
tain falls on a disappointed bachelor,
twice deprived of the girl he loves.
Fifty years elapse between the third
and fourth acts. Sir Jasper a man
of ninety, is again in London; the lit
tie room is old, the panels crumbling
and musty air pervades the place.
The Queens Jubilee is in progress
and the din and and noise outside are
not unlike that of fifty years ago dur
ing the coronation. Sir Jasper acct
dentally breaks a panel and discovers
a bit of paper and a Sprig of rosemary.
The paper proves to be the leaf of a
diary on which ne is barely able to
discern the happenings of fifty years
ago; the sprig of rosemary recalls the
young girl, now dead, the ride to Lon
don, the elopement and the denouement.
Sir Jasper sells the old London house
and returns to his country home. Mr..
Kyle is surrounded by a capable COM
pany, who will present the comedy of
English nineteenth century romance in
the same careful manner as it was
played at the Empire Theater.
'"The Christian will be seen Friday
night, with Charles d. Coburn as John
Storm. The original New York pro-
duction used by Miss Viola Allen, the
same used at the Academy of Music,
will be used. 1t is not necessary to
go into detail in regard to The Chris
tian," as every one knows what the
play is, and it is sure of a full house
here. Mr.. Coburn's friends are much
interested in his appearance, and he is
sure of an ovation.
AS us SUBJECT WOulQ Imply, Alex
ander the Great" the new play in
which Louis James and Frederick
Warde will appear next Monday ev-
ening. is built on spectacular lines. The
principal scenes represent the crises in
the ambitious schemes of this most ia
NOUS of the great military geniuses of
the world. Those which the authors
found most useful for dramatic pur-
poses, and which suggested the most
effective stage pictures, occur in the
fourth act. One of these scenes repre-
sents the storming of the city of Mall
LA, the success of which made Alexan-
der practically the ruler of Asia; and
the other pictures rocky pass above
the clouds, where the leaders of his
vast army become mutinous at AleXan-
der's Unsuitable thirst for conquest.
The two characters which supply
ander and Perdiccas, who was his chief
adviser; the former will be played by
Mr.. James and the latter by Mr..
Warde. The story practically centers
in Perdiccas, for it is his greed of gain
and his intrigues to undermine the
power Of Alexander, that furnish the
suspense.

ward Baxter Perry's piano recital and
lecture to be given at the Lawton Me-
mortal Dec. s will be open for subscribe
ers only to-day and tomorrow at Sol
onions Bull street drug store.
