Press stories to be sent out a week ahead and during the showing of “ROSE OF THE WORLD’’ A new Elsie Ferguson photoplay, relaesed by Artcraft will be soon shown at the Theatre, according to Manager entitled "Rose of the World," a dramatization of the well-known book by Agnes and Edgerton Castle. In this subject Miss Ferguson will be seen in a role similar to those in which she has won her greatest triumphs on the regular stage. The press of the country has been flooded with praise by dramatic critics of Miss Ferguson's emotional work, and she is given wide latitude for the display of her exceptional talents in this direction in "Rose of the World." As Rosamond, the heroine of the story, she encounters incidents of such dramatic intensity that her hair turns white. The story has a military atiposphere, and the role of Miss Ferguson carries much sympathy as the wife of a dashing young captain who loses his life in a heroic manner. In portraying the events that disturbed the life of Rosamond she rises to sublime heights of artistry. Her work on the stage as the star in "Such a Little Queen," "Shirley Kaye," "Outcast," "Margaret Schiller," and other successful plays, placed her on the top rung of the histrionic ladder, but all her past endeavors are eclipsed in the remarkable interpretation she has made in her latest film play, "Rose of the World." Maurice Tourneur, the noted French master, produced the picture, which is the last word in direction and artistic stage setting. Many of the scenes are laid in India, and the different types of East Indians are accurately shown. Continued over II
