His continuity for the highlight scenes of the long work was smooth and he kept his listeners amused as the scene shifted from New York, to the train bound for Hollywood, vari- ous places around the motion picture studios and the lobby of a swank hotel. ‘There were some 50 women at the function, those from out of the city including Mrs. Anna Stark of Man- dan and her daughter, Miss Elsie Stark of New York City, Mmes.

It has been acclaimed in most of the im- portant cities of the country. The theme is one of supreme faith which overcomes all adversities and brings back to the fold the doubting members, who, young in their priest- hood, question the Divine providence. While “The First Legion” is a play about religion, it is not a religious Play. The author has taken a diffi- cult subject and has treated it seri- ously and sympathetically and with- out faltering, but he is fully aware of the purpose of the theatre. Therefore, “The First Legion” is both a fine play and splendid entertainment. The scenic production is an exact | replica of the original one used in New York City last autumn and the costumes, stage settings and lighting will be the best obtainable.
