strong melodrama OF the church and

to a large audience in the Lyceum
theater. on its return TO Detroit. sun
day afternoon The dominating hg-
ure is Father Brian Kelly the lovable
and altogether human priest who
stands firm through the storms OF the
play and is finally successful In .guid-
ing his children safely back into the
happiness they had lost.
H. q, keenan, plays the priest ana
radiates a kindly good humor that
pleased the audience, and he rose 10
dramatic power fully as well the
scenes which called for his mastery.
The story OF The Rosary" Is based
upon an insane jealousy which ruins
a happy home. An unfortunate train
OF circumstances causes Bruce Wilton

EN- and ruined, he becomes an out
cast after turning her from his door
and they are not reunited until the
chapel OF the Rosary. which they
planned for their friend in their hap
yy days, is finished and Father Kelly
succeeds in unraveling the mystery
which has clouded their lives.
The serpent in the Eden of the
first act is Kenward Wright, who was
In love with Vera before her mar
riage, and, appearing as friend OF
Bruce. thwarts him in business and
brings about his ruin. he was also
In love with Vera's twin sister, Alice,

peculiar circumstances. is run over by
an automobile and dies before she
can say the words which viii clear
her sister before Bruce.
II is the priest who finally, under
a dramatic inspiration from heaven,
accuses Kenward Wright OF his vii
Iainy and makes him confess In the
presence OF Bruce and Vera.
The role OF Bruce Wilton Is cap
ably handled by o. A. Briggs, and
Grace Reading has the double role OF
the twin sisters, Alice and Vera,
which calls for some very dexterous
changes. David Marlowe is rather
insipid as Kenward Wright, lacking
the force that the gallery likes in
villains. Lee Martin a reformed

the priest is done with fidelity and
respect. and there is pleasant at.

of course, some wonderful coincid'

the story moving is rather too much
in evidence, but it pleased the Sun

The Rosary will be played in the
