THE ROSARY IS
 DRAMATIC PLAY
COrmiCan Players Score Triumph
 in Production
(BN Herald ReNieWerl

Edwin E. Roses international suc- cess, The Rosary" offers the James Cormican Players unusual opportuni- ties to display their dramatic ability, and this opportunity could hardly have been placed in better hands. Playing to good sized house last night the company insured itself of capacity houses for the entire week. The lines are handled in an excellent manner and the characters well cast.
 The play is strong drama carry ing with it a powerful sermon, and while the story is exceptionally inn pressiv3, all traces of "dryness" are removed by the injection of suffi- clent amount Of comedy to make the presentation the more accepta ble. The story deals with the domestic diff ticulties of q young couple due to out side influences and opens with a scene on the lawn of Bruce Wilton's coun- try place, at Westchester, New York. The scene is a beautiful one and the idea of happiness is immediately brought out. Gradually the scenes are changed to bring one to the state where the evil influences have sue ceeded in breaking up the family hap piness, and then the work of Father Kelly, the parish priest begins. J. K. Hutchinson as Father Brian Kelly presents that character in an easy natural manner and his work is with out a flaw.
 The parish priest, a former tutor of Bruce, hears of the family diff cultleS ad sets about to straighten out matters. When his efforts are about to be crowned with success, Bruce is financially ruined and his beautiful wife Vera, departs from him. More obstacles are put in the path of the priest but he works steadily and sincerely to accomplish his end with but one purpose in view--the happi- ness of those he loves
 J. Burke Morgan as Bruce Wilton, the young husband, and William H. Evarts, as Lee "Skeeters Martin, have difficult roles but their parts are capaDly handled. Miss Antoine cite Rochte, a new member of the players who made her first appearance here in the Droducticn' '"Fa1r and Warmer" last week, is again seen with the com- pany as Lesura Watkins of Bellows Falls, Vermont James Cormican and Josephine Sake play opposite one an- other as a pair of Irish lovers and are responsible for much of the com edy in the presentation. Miss Ethel Van Waldron is seen to advantage in a dual role, playing the parts of the twin sisters, Vera and Alice, alike in physical makeup but whose charac- ters are widely different. Desmond l Gallagher assumes the role of the will lian this week.
 The play is given in four acts, the | first opening on Bruce Wilton's lawn. ] The second scene is the study of his home two hours later; the third the same as the second On the followin g morning. The fourth act is the most impressive of all and is laid on the outside of the Chapel of the Rosary one year later.

Everywhere We Hear Good Reports
 of Doan's Kidney Pills.

New Britain is no exception. Every section of the U. s. resounds with praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. Fifty thousand persons are giving testimony in their home newspapers. The sin cerity of these witnesses, the fact that they live so near, is the best proof of the merit of Doan's. Here's a New Britain case.

FOX'S THF,ATER.

"The Rose of the West" the un- usual Fox feature which opened it's three day run at FoX's theater yes terday is one of the most dramatic offerings of the season. Madame Traverse has the role of Rose La Belle, a French-Canadian woman of the unbounded Northwest, and the photoplay reveals her full measure of unusual ability. 'The Rose of the West" tells the story of an unhappy wife who believes her brutal husband to be dead, and is about to re-marry and take her innocent daughter with in the bounds of civilization. The sudden re-appearance of the sup posedly dead husband brings about a scene of great intensity. The hus- band, a degenerate creature, of the lumber camps, attempts to sell the daughter to a neighbOring woods man, and, to overcome the interfer- ence of Rose, resorts to the lowest sort of strategy. A climax of deep est emotion and excitement arises when Rose finally discovers her daughter in the clutches of the neighbor, and is, for a time, pre- vented from going to her aid by the girls own father. A thrilling battle ensues, but after the dust settles, a
 happy ending is revealed. Charlie Chaplin, the inmitable little come
 dian, appears on the same program
 in "Shanghaied," which is admitted
 ly one of the greatest screams that
 he ever made. Another comedy that is responsible for a great deal of laughter is Billy Blazes, Esq, in which Harold Lloyd appears. The latest issue of the Pathe News week

must come from the United States. Kol-

November and he is suffering continued
reverses.
1t is pointed out here that unless he
achieves success before September / his
cause probably will be lost as about that
date snow will end the possibility OF
fighting, and the Russians and Bolshe-
visits will enter into an enforced truce
Kolchak is declared to be in serious
financial straits
Comment has been aroused also by
the reported understanding reached with

notified by the State Department that
he will be expected to take measures to
insure the safety OF Americans and their
property. This applies not only to
Americans in Mexico and their belong
ings, but persons and property on the
American side Of the line.
The official statement tonight said
that the proper steps had been taken
and the move was not off1cially disclosed
because OF the usual courtesy OF not
making such matters public prior to
their official receipt by the Government
to which they are addressed. However,
It is understood on unquestionable au-
thority that this demand has been des-
patched to Mexico city.
Gen. Cabell In command of the South
evn Department OF tho army with head
quarters at San Antonio, requires no
additional instructions to take care of
the situation so far as American troops
are concerned, It was said at the War
Department. He has blanket instruc-
lions or orders to take every precau-
ton and safeguard he thinks may be
necessary TO protect American lives and
property along the border. He has an
ample number Of men to carry out these
instructions. the War Department has
repeatedly said.

CIarincation Expected.

All changes in the treaty will not
affect thege facts. It Is practically GER
tain. In pointing out these essential
facts these diplomats believe that the
situation may be clarified when the
resolution of Senator Knox comes up for
mature discussion.
Despite the fact that the treaty ap-
pears at first glance to be based upon
the League OF Nations and closely inter-
woven, careful analysts speedily shows
that the treaty and the league are
really independent OF each other.
To delay action on the league cove
nant would have practically no effect
whatever on the establishment OF peace
or the execution OF the treaty, they say.
Even II the league should be formed. It
would have no voice whatever in sucn
practical problems as restoring Europe
10 health and forcing Germany to carry
out the treaty.
The league. meeting at Geneva, would
occupy itself with problems quite apart
from the practical tasks which have
been entrusted to the PREPARATION Com
mission. The attention of Senators is
particularly invited to that part of the
peace treaty dealing with the COM
position and duties OF the PREPARATION
Commission because 1t Is believed that
any Senator who reads this over care

dlate future are Intentionally kept sep

Special Despatch to TIE sus.

wAsHINGroN. June l5.-Several mem
bers OF the Diplomatic Corps here, with
out wishing to take sides for or against
the Knox resolution, believe 1t is i'm
portant at tails particular time for the
United States Senate and American
people to appreciate the following salient
facts with respect to the peace treaty
and the League OF Nations:
First. the League OF Nations has
nothing to do with the restoration
of Europe or the establishment of
peace on a frm basis under the
terms Of the treaty. and practically
nothing to do with the execution OF
the treaty.
Second the agency chosen to re-
store Europe economically and finan-
cially and the agency chosen TO
really establish peace and execute
the treaty is the PREPARATION Commits
sion, which Premier Clemenceau has
succeeded In keeping independent OF
the League of Nations.
Third, the League of Nations, ex.
cept in some minor details, applies TO
future international relationships and
not to either the actual conditions
established by the treaty or the con-
ditions which will arise and be dealt
with as the result of the terms OF
the treaty.
