| Description |
Almost a relic from a dark age, The Rosary will be presented at the St. James Hall, Phillip St. city, this afternoon and to-night before commencing a suburban tour. This time, however, there will be none of the heavy melodrama that has characterised past performances of the play. The producer, Mr. Barrett Fleming, while sacrificing none of the story's charm, has given the play the same slick production that Is met with In London and New York presentations. |
