Picture patrons are reminded that at the Princess Theatre to-night one of those rare pictures that have the charm of pleasing everybody will be screened. “The Rosiry” is not a religious story, but a charming story of Irish peasant life in all its beautiful simplicity in whoao midst are the earlier scenes of “The Rosary,” As the play proceeds the stern problems of life confrout the young speculator both in bugiuc.'*® and tho wreck of his home and life, after a year of unalloyed married happiness. The good Father who reared Brian still watches over him and proves in thß crisis the Friend in Need—that is—A Friend Indeed. The characters are splendidly acted aud staged, the opening visions and the allegorical pictures being features in tho art of photography. The finishing charming touches to the presentation are the splendid singing of Mies Alberta Teasdale of "The Rosary” ana the original incidental musio as played by Mr F. Resteaux. In “The Rosary” Miss Kathlyn Williams is featured as “Vera Wallace,” a part that gives this clever actress plenty of scope 10 display her great talent.
