SEQUEL OF NOTED STORY

The Grand theater Incompatible
stock company is now In its eighth
week and "The Third Degree" which
closed last night, broke all attendance
records for the season. Even bigger
business is anticipated for 'Rosalind
at Redgate," the famous mystery play
that opens with matinee and night
performance today and holds the
boards until Sunday.
The new offering today is a drama
tization of Meredith Nicholson's cele-
brated novel of the same name, ana
is q continuation of the wierd adven-
lures that occur in 1.-The House or Il
Thousand Candles" by the same au-
thor.
"Rosalind at Redgate." is the best
romantic play in years, and is des-
cribed as a near neighbor". to the
"House Of Thousand Candles" with
the scenes laid in the same delightful
spot. and with the adventurous Larry
Donovan in the role of the hero.
Indiana Setting.
Mr.. Nicholson's oft-quoted state
ment that writer's might well take a
modern setting for their romances of
love and adventure, is well eXemplified
in this story of Indiana country life,
for no play of "Ye olden time' ever
contained more good, wholesome ac-
tion to the square inch than Rosa
lind at Redgate." And perhaps the
strangest part of all this is. that the
latest adventures Of Larry, Helen and
Rosalind do not seem in the least i'm
probable. on the contrary, one can
almost breathe the air of the pine
trees, and inhale the fresh breezes of
Lake Annadale, so realistic are the
stage pictures. and so natural the
characters of this quaint little dream.
Larry has been left in charge of the
Glenarm place, upon John Glemarm's
departure for Europe. To him comes
a telegram from a friend, n priest,
placing untier his protection dear old
Aunt Patricia Holbrook, and her niece
Helen, who are coming to st. Agatha's
school, which is closed for the sum-
mer, in order to escape the machina-
tiOns of Helen's villainous father, for
whom Aunt Patricia is holding a mill
Ion in trust, conditional upon the be-
.havior Of Henry Holbrook and his
brother Arthur. The latter has mys-
teriously disappeared whit stigma on
his name, but Aunt Patricia, believing
partly in his innocence, will not con-
sent to give the money to Henry, un-
til Arthur is found.
MOI Dull moment.
From the end of the first act, when
the auditor learns of the sorrow of
Aunt Patricias life, until the end of
the. play, there is not moments lull
in the action, The discovery of Ar
thur, who has daughter, Rosalind,
in appearance almost the counterpart
of Helen, the confusing identity of the
girls by Larry, who seek the unravel
the tangle of the Holbrook millions
the appearance on the scene of a suit
or of Helen's who turns out to be one
of the best humorous characters, and
the thrilling adventures lead up to
climax that must satisfy the most ex-
acting.
