orchestra leader in America is better
known than Walter Damrosch, and
none has done more to spread the Cos

twenty years Mr. Damrosch has Ia

DANIEL SULLY.

When Daniel Sully produced THE
Parish Priest" he identified himself
with a clerical character and it is
doubtful II the American public will
ever accept him In another role. 1t Is
one Of the penalties of success, and
he has been compelled to bow to the
inevitable. He has been fortunate in
securing a play In which he appears
as a priest and which combines all
the elements Of successful produc-
ton In '"The Golden Rule" a four
act comedy drama by Jerrold Shepard,
Mr. Sully Is seen in the role of Father
ONeill, pastor Of little church In
New York city. Dramatically, the play
is the strongest Mr. Sully has ever
presented, although the element of
humor is SO predominant that it
might be classified as a comedy. 1t
