Renting Agent ROOM 506 Illumined only by the dim flames of the chandelier candles, the Communion of Roses at the annual Maundy Thursday service will be held tomorrow night at 8 o'clock at Holy Trinity P. E. Church on Brooklyn Heights.

The white roses, one to be given to each communicant, will deck the candle-lit altar, beneath the stained glass windows. Prof. Louis Robert, organist choirmaster, conduct the music. Mary Chasseaud, contralto, will be soloist. Ancient Legend Revived The white rose, according to church lore, is intended to carry the worshiper back in thought to the ancient abbey and the staff of the custodian of the chalice of the Lord.

This grows out of the legend of the Glastonbury thorn. Joseph of Arimathea, runs the age-old story, wandered to England in search of a place to found church that should keep the Holy Grail. At Glastonbury, his staff rooted and was said to be a sign to him that he had reached his journey's end. The tree, which became the famous Glastonbury thorn, flowered in December. At Easter it was an object of pilgrims' venerations.

Eventually it was cut down as a superstition. However, the branches of what are believed to be its offshoots still play an important part in Glastonbury's Easter and Spring celebrations. Marilyn Miller, musical comedy world is in mourning. The photo IJ. H.
