Marrying Mary"

Edwin Milton Royle. whose smart
musical play, Marrying Mary" with
Florence Gear and a large singing
company, will be seen at the Ken
lucky theater on Tuesday, November
10, is one OF the most painstaking
OF writer's. He prepares his effects
stu5iously and dexterously. His
instinct OF the picturesque is rarely
at fault, he marshals his personages
and arranges his scenes with keen
eye for effect. He Is strong, in
dividual parsonage. His dialogue Is
copious and appropriate, and his
dramatic points made with precision
and rare insight into the essentials
needed at the moment. He is imagi-
native and determined. His English
is raey, nervous, with a kind of elo-
quenoe that is at once scholarly and
homely. What he says Is said so
naturally that you accept 1t as tn.
genuine outcome Of the mans own
experience and conviction. His The
Squaw Man" Friends" Captain
impotence" "The Struggle Everlast-
ing" and Marrying Mary" exhibit
a man Of wide knowledge Of men
and things ana a keen appreciation
OF all that goes TO make men and
women sane, human beings He is
frst OF all dramatist, an artist. that
-, whose function 1t is to tell a
story in action and by the mouths OF
personages. Whimsical and absurd
as lie sometimes is-fcr effect-he is
never either the one or the other at
the expense Of nature.
