ACADEMY

Full of human interest that goes
straight to>the heart. 1.-THE Rosary" by
Edward K. Rose. plays return en-
gagement at the Academy this week
opening with special Christmas
matinee tomorrow. The theme OF the
play as expressed by the title Is pre-
scented in q forceful manner, and at
the same time there is an abundance of
original soVedy. The cast Is an excel
lent one. Every member Is 30 well
placed and there Is not the slightest jar
ring of any part In the play.
In the Rev. Brian Kelly, played by
Harrington Reynolds, theatergoers are
promised one Of the best portrayals OF
this nature that has ever been seen
on the stage. Mr.. Reynolds is forceful,
sympathetic. and impressive, and gives
just the right touch of realism to the
character. Many homes shave been made
happy through the teachings of 1.-THE
Rosary" and, above all, young girls
and young boys are given good food for
thought in the characters of Charles
Harrow and Kathleen OConnor, as well
as Shelters and LEISURE. So well is the
moral taught that one hardly realizes
that lesson is being learned while the
clean comedy is being enjoyed.

OF Hubert Henry Davis, author Of
Cousin Kate" and 1.-THE Mollusk."
There will be special matinee Monday
and one on Saturday.
In the role of the single man. Mr..
Drew Is said to have the best part he
has had for years.
The hero is Robin Wortbington, an
author. There are staying in his home
brother and a sister-in- law, who are
happily married.
This example is too powerful for a
bachelor of forty, whose loneliness Is
beginning to menace him. His sister
in-law Is naturally ready to help him
to marry. She brings to his house a
Miss Louise Parker, who is anxious to
enter upon the estate Of matrimony
Meanwhile Worthington has rashly en-
gagged himself to one Maggie Cottrell
He IL fascinated by her youth She is
naturally enough the last person whom.
he ought to marry. The general de-
meanor of the very girlish Maggie
Carroll McComas) and bevy of silly
young friends is such that Worthington
is soon convinced that there is no real
happiness for him to be found among
thoughtless, foolish and somewhat UNI
derbred people such as Maggie and her
friends He has made a mistake. How
repair It? A great awakening comes to
him. He realizes that the best possible
wife for him is his secretary Miss
Mary Borland), of various abilities and
lively tact, who has also the additional
qualification of being devotedly in love
with him. The predicament of Robin
Worthington as portrayed by John
Drew presents great opportunity for
laughter and amusing uncertainty as to
whom he may finally plight his love.

SPLIT UP In
SEAFORD ELECTION

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
SEAFORD, Del, March S.-The po-
litical factions here which clashed at
the biennial town election on Monday
are still at loss to know which
party has the majority in the town
board and whether or not certain
measures, which both sides contendad
were advisable, will be adopted by
the Council.
The present town officials have
been endeavoring to compel certain
parties to move buildings and OBJ
structions, which they claimed were
encroaching upon public alleys and
properties Of the town. This was
looked upon by some citizens as being
unjust and claimed that the officers
were discriminating and prosecuting
certain citizens. The oppositionists
ticket sprang into existence and the
fight was to decide whether or not
the town should continue the cases
against the accused parties. The re-
suit was a split ticket election and
it Is not known which course the
officials will now take.
