Rowland and Clifford at tho Keith Theatre Thursday, Jan. 26th is described as follows: A typical American family is shown, n young wife, her dovoted hus band, their friends and the material surroundings which wealth can pro cure. Then comes the jarring note, so slight that oven the most sensitive could hardly bear it. Rather it is a subtle" discord of the atmosphere. No one knows whence it comes or the reason of its being: but it grows, grows, more and more apparent. Now it swells into suspicion and doubt, then blind rage, and the house is rent; its happiness is gone. Then rises the other power, a higher spiritual note, which swells up on the ear until its beauty and divine harmony brings tho discordant souls of the family back to peace and full accord. That is 'The Roeary." Chicago liked the "Rosary" so well that it stayed there for three monthu. Its success in New York City is so great that it will undoubtedly run at the Garden Theatre in that city for a year. year Everglades Bargain Parties unable to continue payments on contracts for 10 acres choice Ever glades and town lot, will accopt $300; part cash, balance monthly.
