AT THE ILLINOIS

"The Rosary" the play which was
the talk of the country last season,
is repeating this season. This sue
cessful play of Edward E. Roses,
which is founded upon an emblem OF
purity, is a tale of everyday life IN
which the good is exalted over the
evil, showing the principal character
Of a Catholic priest as the modern
day finds him. It is through the
priest that a misunderstanding in the
Wilton family is correctly adjusted
and cleared up. Intermingled with the
valuable moral effects of the show
is a beautiful love story, and also an
abundance of comedy that the aver
age theatergoer doesn't expect to
witness owing to the title of the
play. Undivided strength is attached
to the cast, which will consist OF
Blcsser Jennings, Florence Wright,
Nettie DeCoursey, Eleanor Rella,
Harry Price, A. c. VanSlyke, Regi-
nald Knorr, Henry Garron and others.
THE Rosary" with the entire stag
ing that Rowland and Clifford have so
handsomely given the play, will be
