At time when dramatic offerings

interest to note that Harrington Reyn-
olds. late star OF the original Rosary"
company, Is to be presented by A. @.
Delamater, in a new play by Neil Two
mey, called THE Angelus." In the
Rosary" Mr.. Reynolds assumed the
portrayal of Father Kelly, and II will
be OF interest to know that the char
acter to be lmpersonated by him in his
new piece will also be that Of a parish
priest, Father O'Brien, and will possess
nanv Of the characteristics which en-
deared the genial, whole-souled priest
to the thousands that witnessed the
former play.
While. as the title will Indicate, THE
Angelus" has a religious theme woven
through the plot. It is by no means of
somber nature.
The dramatic year is not likely to
bring a more enjoyable play or per-
formance than The Angelus." One of
Its most striking charms is its homely
simplicity. No expense has been spared
In giving the play a magnificent scenic
production. THE Angelus" will be the

0AYETY

Billy w. Watson. surrounded by a COM
pany of twelve principals and chorus
OF twenty-four, will come to the Gayety
next week. For the frst time In bur-
lie sdue, the scene of the first act of
the musical farce is supposed to be laid
in one of the big Government buildings
OF Washington. Watson Is cast as one
Of the patent examiners. He acquires
the rights to an aero which brings him
a fortune. He departs for France where
he is shown the sights of the gay capital
by fascinating feminine guides and also
disposes of the rights to his flyer to the
French government for 100000 francs.
The comedy is called The Flying
Dutchman," and is said to have far
more OF a plot than the average bur-
lesaue entertainment. One of the most
diverting scenes OF the piece shows the
control of the Patent Office by a group
OF ffragettes. AS for the love interest,
well, the Flying Dutchman is supposed
to be in love with Daisy Kidder. chief
stenographer of the Interior Depart
mant.
