Confessing that Love was real, F All the rest was a dream. Bubtle and delicate In fancy, wrought by two poetical minds with daring- skill and bearing high the two fold qualities of delicious laughter and throat-swelling sobs, of which real life is mostly made, "Rosemary" came to the Heillg Monday night. John Drew brought this play, in which he has done his finest acting in a score of seasons. The comedy he brings is exquisite, a rare story beautifully told. Like the opening of a rose Jar, it spreads a perfume that reaches Into our mem ories and we hold close communion with long forgotten hours. A dried bit of rosemary, a memento of what might have been, given to a man of 40 by a slip of a girl in her teens and carried' for half a century next his heart this is the deathless part of the story. Love Goes With Him to End. Love goes with him to the end. When the girl has long been dead, and his old cronies have departed into the silence one by one, old Sir Jasper is left, desolation incarnate. But next his heart is pressed the faded and dried sprig of rosemary, given him by the girl, for hopeless love of whom his heart was broken. "Rosemary." she had whispered, "take it; that's for remembrance." From the festivities incident to the coronation of the young Victoria of Kngland in 1837, with its picturesque costumes and customs, the story leaps from its main events to the Victorian Jubilee 50 years later. In an old lace and lavender-scented afterglow, we live again the story the sprig of rosemary recalls. We see again the eloping Dorothy and her hot headed, jealous William sitting In their overturned chaise, wrecked right in front of Sir Jasper's park gates. We Meet Sir Jasper. We meet Sir Jasper, then but 40, footing it three miles in night and storm to buy number three in the series just then being' published of Nicholas Nickleby. We see him give me elopers sneiter and later aid them in making amends with Dorothy's par ents. We note that what began as merely a bachelor's sentimental inter est in the heart affairs of others is developing rapidly into a passion of the heart for Kir Jasper. We watch him beat back his own desire for Dor othy and bring about her wedding with William. Then the curtain hides from our eyes his suffering; but we carry its memory In our hearts. Just us ne carries close his sprig of rose mar)'. Play Exquisitely Presented. "Rosemary" Is exquisitely presented. John Drew makes the transition from tlie strong, dashing, daring, whimsical Sir Jasper of 40 to the feeble old groper of 90 with an'amazlng natural ness and sincerity. Always a dignified actor and master technician in his craft, Mr. Drew has never given us a role more artistic in its every value or so Intensely human In its portrayal as Sir Jasper. A lovely young English girl, Alex andra Carlisle, plays Dorothy with in finite charm and feeling. Her voice is a Denieon. Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, the "grand oldest lady" of the stage, makes a gracious mother for the young Dor othy, while Harry Harwood, as the girl's seafaring father, affords a rare spot of humor with his nautical vocal cruisings. Hubert Druce. as the pedantic stu dent and philosophical friend of Sir Jasper; Robert Rendel. as the youthful William, and Frances Landy, as a pert and pleasing kitchen maid, are others who make bids for more than passing attention for excellence of work.
