Extraordinary interest is being manifested in the Catholic Art Association’s production of the true story of Father Cosgrove, “The Victim,” to coilimence at Everybody’s on Monday next. This story, based' entirely on facts, graphically* telle the exciting and gripping events that befall the parish priest, who is found guilty of a murder and sentenced to death, yet, though innocent, he will not break ‘his vows and speak, .and goes to his death with a prayer to his Maker to forgive. The thrilling race with death on the part of- a tender but heroic girl, who is racing at risk of life and limb, against time, with his reprieve, only adds to the wonderful intensity of the final scenes, as the execution is taking, place. Truth that is stranger, and far more exciting, than fiction is here evidenced, in a picture that, for sheer grip and intensity of interest, has seldom, if ever, been equalled.
