The play was given in Rockville April 3Oth and the Leader of that city has the following on it: The Rockville Dramatic club scored brilliant success last night at the Palace Theatre, presenting the four act drama, Beyond the Rock ies," to large and appreciated audi ence. It was big undertaking for an organization of local amateurs, but they were squal to the occasion in every respect.

It was admir- ably staged, with not a single detail lacking, the scenic and electrical effects being very elaborate Through out the four acts the applause wal hearty and frequent.
