Hansen gives a colorless performance as
the Mother. Superior.
Walter Howard, the author, plays a
congenial role with credit, and Philip
Gordon is excellent in a small bit. There
are innumerable minor parts, comprising
a long list Of captains, lieutenants,
troopers, ct ceters, which are employed
only to give atmosphere to the elaborate
ly staged production.
While Miss Retta Gifin renders the
well known song. THE Rosary" with
great charm in the first act, and the
strain is frequently played by the iorches-
ira, The Story Of the Rosary" Is not
based upon IL, and has no connection with
the play which has played under the title
OF the song.
Nor is the present European strife its
theme, although the spirit Of war per-
vades the story, and stirs the pulses Of
the auditor through seveEal scenes. The
fact is Mr.. Howard wrote THE Story Of
the Rosary before the CORY struggle in
Europe had begun, his entire object being
to tune the heart strings to sympathy
with loves sweet song.
Romance is the chord which throbs
through the melodrama, and it would find
its way with straighter appeal to the
emotions Of the auditor were II less
interrupted by superflous scenec,
Wnlcn nave smaH bearing on the story
proper, and which only serve to- clutter
the stage while they retard the action
of the play.
In addition to tho tediousness VI un-
necessary characters and scenes the play
ers displayed last night a tendency to
talk up stage" which made their vary
English enunciation at times difficult
to understand.
Comstock and Gest have given ''The
Story of The Rosary" a most elaborate
setting. some Of the scenes reaching
splendid artistry, particularly IN the
cases Of the second scene of the first
act picturing the Dragons Bivouac, and
the priests garden, which is twice seen.

Player LIMIT TO
HELP MANY CLUBS
Shift OF Talent Looked
For II Majors Cut
StaflS
OF ADVANTAGE
TO THE GAME

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 16.-Clubs
like the Phillies that are in search OF
playing talent should be greatly bene-
nted If the National league agrees
with the American league that IT,
would be wise to cut down the list Of
players carried during the season to
20 or %.
There was formerly limit for both
leagues. This was 80 players up TO
May l5 and 25 players from May 10
to date near the close OF the cham
p'onship season. This enabled the
clubs to take large number Of
youngsters south for tryouts, to eX-
pertinent with them during the early
weeks OF the pennant race and then
let go of those who failed to come
up TO expectations.
AT the same time the limit of 25
after May 10 gave the clubs an op-
portunlty to secure players from each
other
Last winter, though. the player
limit rule was wiped out temporarily.
IT was decided that the clubs should
hold on to all their talent possible,
so as to prevent the players from be-
ing grabbed by the Federals. This
was a heavy expense to the clubs.
Now that the club owners have deci-
ded to retrench they are going to the
other extreme, or near IT, They are
going to cut deeper into the player
list than before.
This should be Of great benefit to
certain clubs that were unable to Sc
cure talent during the past cham
pionship season.
Take the Phillies as an example.
They we're shy a irst-class short
stop when the championship season
started Game after game was lost
through errors at shortstop The
club looked around for talent, but
il was unable to secure man for
the place at anything like reasonable
terms. The pitching department also
needed bolstering up but clubs thai
had surplus talent would not let the
men go. Thus the Phillies were
either helpless or else at the mercy
of their rivals
II the National league also decide.
TO cut deep regarding the number q
players, IL will be necessary for tn,
10 clubs of the major leagues TO ash
waivers on probably 200 players Oui
Of this supply il should be possibl,
for Manager Moran to make some Sc
lectlons which will aid in building up
the Quakers.
Several clubs need bolstering up
and there should be a big shuhiing
around of talent II the decision tc
limit the number Of players is made.
Such a player cut should also aid
the minor leagues. II will turn back
TO them a lot of players who would
be stars in the minors, but who dc
not quite come up to expectations as
major leaguers. II should also serv,
to cure an evil which cropped up very
extensively during the last season
This was in the loaflng done by man,
of the stars.
With only 20 or % players to b,
carried, and a surplus of talen
knocking for admission at the majo
league door. the stars will not be abl
to take things so easy. A player Gu
should benefit the club owners and tn
fans.
II will hurt only the players. TIL
latter had their fling during the 191
season, and many of them are wei
fixed for 1915 and 1916. II looks a
though the baseball worm was goin
to turn.
