Pop,-4sThe story Of the ROSARY,

PoIfs-SThe Story of the Rosary
As a farewell attraction for the
1917 season of the Poll Players. the
Management will tomorrow night
offer something quite different from
the usual run of plays, The Story
OF the Rosary" a play originating
IN Drury Lane and which emil
grated with great success to Man
haitian.
The production is quite the most
pretentious OF the current season,
and will serve to present the Poll
Players in the most attractive roles
that they have thus far had the op-
portunity to offer.
The Story of the Rosary" Is fun
damentally a story of love, a girl
and two men and another man 1t

phere Of wartime in a country such

OF her interest She is beloved by
and quite his opposite in every
way. Enters in a friend who loves
quite dispassionately the pretty
Venetia, Karl Larose.
On the eve of war. with his de-
parture close at hand, Paul mar
rtes Venetia, and she. in parting.
gives him a rosary to keep ever by
him as a remembrance Of her love.
Then Paul becomes a hero at the
front, leading a forlorn hope with
courage and yalor.
In the meantime Prince Won
Sabran. who has become interested
In the girl. abducts her. Philip
returns and the war is over. He
tells Venetia that her husband is
dead. and the rosary plays an i'm
portant part in the narrative. She
refuses to believe his lies, and La
rose, forever sedulous in seeking
happiness for her, sets out to find
the missing hero and husband.
Finally his search is rewarded, the
wicked are punished and the
worthy are left together to live
happily ever after. as all good
stories should leave their heroes.
The scenic artist, Charles Squires.
has prepared twelve wonderful
scenes. including "a Room in the
