The RosaryI
livery woman thinks she knows
how to keep alive the love Of her hus-
band. Wonder II the girls in this city
know that art? Sometimes 1t Is said
they don't. At any rate, they will
know after they witness a perform
ance of s"The Rosary" which is coming
to the Opera House next Thursday,
October 9Th.
In "The Rosary there are three
distinct love stories. The principal
love affair is that of Bruce and Vera
Wilton. This husband and wife love
each other with their whole hearts.
She Is q devout woman, but he Is a
born atheist Being a man Of much
business interests, Mr.. Wilton neglects
his home. and Vera resorts to the
green eyed monster to bring her hus-
band back to her. She begins fir
tation with a man named Kenward
Wright Circumstances bring Wright
into the Wilton home, where he falls
night, when he and Alice had arranged
for a secret elopement, Vera. entering
the room as the couple are leaving
through an open window, is discovered
by her husband. The result Is two
broken hearts; therefore, jealousy Is
an evil, and not an advisable way OF
keeping a man interested.
The second love story Is between
Kathleen OConnor and Charley Har-
row. Kathleen is little Irish girl
who believes that the man she will
marry must know the Irish history
thoroughly. Charley knows nothing of
Irish history, so Kathleen uses the
simplest of language. dress and ac-
Nons. Charley is attracted to her by
her simpIeness, so 1t Is shown that
the simplest truth attracts the man
of the world and keeps him Interested
In the love story between Lesura
and Shelters, the audience finds tha'
oppositfon to mans vanity makes
him only the more Interested IN tne
pursuit of the one thing upon winch
he brides himself greater than all else
During the scenes Skeeters Is very
nroud of his ability to tell stories, but
II isn't until after an original system
a employed that Skeeters succeeds IL
Catting Lesura to laugh. All of this
love Is in The Rosary" and with
competent cast presenting 1t the
ulay Is worth attending.
