The play, written by Karl Vollmoeller, directed by Max Reinhardt, with a score by Engelbert Humperdinck, and designed by Norman Bel-Geddes, tells the story of a nun who leaves her convent and has a series of adventures, while a statue of the Virgin Mary takes over her duties at the convent in her absence It is unclear exactly what this souvenir program was for - the original production was in 1924, but this program was produced during or after 1929.
