THE ROSARY" IS
A REFRESHINGS
PLAY
IT TAKES AN UNUSUALLY BRIGHT
VIEW OF LIFE AND HUI
MANITY

At the present day when so many
plays are being presented which deal
with questionable subjects, it is re-
lief to turn to drama which breathes
purity and good fellowship and leads
the way to brighter view of life
and humanity.
Such play is 'The Rosary" writ
ten by Edward E. Rose expressly for
Ed. w. Rowland, Jr., and produced
by him.
The theme Of the play concerns a
man and woman happily married and
surrounded with every luxury that
money and culture can secure. But
the husband is an unbeliever, an ath-
eist, without faith of any kind
There is a jarring note in the
household harmony, a personality at
war with the peace and love of its
members. No one notices this until
friend Of the husband comes, Faith
er Kelly, a priest of the modern
world with deep insight into human
nature and divine love for his fel
low men. And when stress and trou.
Bile come, when the home is wrecked
and husband and wife are brought
down to the depths Of suffering ago
ny, it is the priests calm courage and
faith that saves them, drives away the
clouds Of suspicion, doubt, mistrust
and brings them both into the sun
light Of hope and love
The play will be sen at the Duncan
opera house next Monday night with
Clarence A. Sterling in the role O
Father Brian Kelly, the priest.

movement. The observance of Tuber-
culosis day was Endorsed last year by
President Taft, Cardinal Farley, Col
