AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Author of "The Rosary" Has Portrayed
Catholic Priest With Approval.

Seldom does an author portray such
an important character as that of Il
Catholic priest and have it meet with
approval from the clergy. But this is
Just what has happened to Edward E.
Rose, author of 1.-THE Rosary" which
viii be seen at the opera house next
Monday. In "The Rosary Mr.. Rose
has drawn character of Rev. Brian
Kelly, a Catholic priest, who interferes
in domestic troubles between man and
wife, and eventually shows the unlim-
tied amount of good that can be done
by a priest, not of conventional stage
character, but a real man, big man
OF faith, strength and convention. The
character has been endorsed by the cler-
gy all over the country, and it is said
to be the strongest character of the
kind ever presented on the American
stage The character will be portrayed
by Harrington Reynolds, an exceptional
artist, who goes through his work CON
viucing the audience that he has mas
tered the authors conception of the role.

The gyroscopio compass will be es-
n.cially useful for submarines" said Mr..
Gillmor, "in which the magnetic COM
pass has been nearly useless because
OF the fact that the hull OF the vessel OF
that type screened nearly all the mag
netic force Of the earth away from the
magnetic compass within It, The gyro-
scopic compass used within a submarine,
being unaffected by any outside force, will
permit Of accurate navigation below the
surface of the water, thus making 1t a

the ear was soothed by the restful, sub
