Rosary" with the entire company OF
one hundred persons and complete
production from the Princess Thea
tire, London, will be presented by
Messrs. Comstock and Gest at the
Shubert Theatre the week of Febru-
ary %.
THE Story of the Rosary is re-
markable in three ways: 1t is re-
markably well-written play, 1t is
remarkable in its accurate and thrill
ing depletion OF modern war; it is re-
markable for its superb cast of actors
and actresses-as fine an asSemblage
of players, say the New York critics
as has ever been sent across the At
lantic ocean.
Mr.. Howard was twelve years III
the British army and this is his six
teenth successful play, SO that 1t Will
at once be apparent that he knows
both the craft of war and the artifices
of drama-making.
The story unfolded is simple and
direct one of parental avarice, OF
faithful love, of military adventure
and of plotting villainy. Princess
Venetia Won Sabran, marrying her
IMPOVERISHED suitor by stealth and
against her dissolute fathers will, Is
