THE Rosary deals with he lives
and fortunes of a little group of peo-
pie living in the beautiful West Ches-
ter country near New York City. The
husband is a dfsbeiiever in all religion;
his wife a woma of serious convic-
ton regarding faith in the things OF
life unseen Strong in his belief, and
thoroughly human, a priest moves
through the subtle story of this play.
When doubt comes and the man and
woman's lives are shattered seemingly
beyond human power to repair, this
priest analyses the situation and by
the power of his faith brings both the
people whom he loves back to hap
piness. Mingled with the darker COL
ors OF human tragedy is a vein Of
natural comedy evolved from the
events which occur during the action.

home life while the fourth act Is the
