The box plan is open at Finch’s lanaar. and as it is for a noble cause berg should bo record bockirys. “THE ROSARY” The RosaiVj, has a wonderfully ;trong appeal 10 the Homely Domestic nstincts. The play is really tire "story T the year iu the life cf a pi test .rho in big big hear redness and wide •harity is the friend, and iguide.as well as the Preceptor and Teacher, not only of His own Flock, but cf all with whom he come s in contact. Father Kelly is a 'genial, kind, loveable soul, and the characters in the play are likeable persons, people we like to recall and think cf afterwards. Tire ccincdv clement is especially strong, much having- been introduced since the Nov Zealand production of a few months tgo Unlike many Plays “The Rosary” s not taken from th e book, but a book aas been made from it. So successful ‘■•’as the play iu Australia and so keen was the desire to read it, that it was ■ u amplified and published in book -Grm -a s “Father Klelly” cf the Rosary here lias been a wonderful sale for it eve r since and the author wishes it not 0 be contused with the book called "Tire Rosary” by Florence Barclay, die drama cf it is really written round ill,e Song of the name, and is introduced during the action cf the play. “The. Rosary” is a drama which stands alone and a Play that leaves a testing impression with the audience. All that i s most noble and altruistic is brought out in tiro part of Father Kelly, who is an idealised Priest, dedicating his life to tire service of those n distress. The Rosary will be staged at The down Hal) Taihapo on Easter Monday light by the “Within the Law Coy., >vho will present “Within the Law” on his Saturday night.
