EDITORS COMMENTS
The Devil's Rosary" is a captivating and intriguing theatrical production that first premiered at the Kellys Theatre in Liverpool on July 31, 1915, and later at the Elephant and Castle on December 20 of the same year. This powerful drama, which was also known as "The Blind Girls Rosary," went on to tour various theatres, including the Theatre Royal in Dewsbury on September 27, 1915. Henrietta Schrier and Lodge Percy are the brilliant minds behind this thought-provoking play. The image showcases a scene from the production, featuring a board game or rosary with a devilish twist. The chequered board, reminiscent of a checkers or chess game, is adorned with images of devils, playing cards, roulette wheels, horses, and bottles of wine. The women in the foreground are intently focused on the game, their faces a mix of determination and anxiety. The title "The Devil's Rosary" alludes to the dangerous and addictive nature of gambling, which is depicted in the production. The women, who are blind, are shown succumbing to the allure of the game, their reliance on the red light of the hood to guide their moves a poignant reminder of their vulnerability. The devil, with his mischievous grin, looms over the scene, a constant reminder of the potential consequences of their actions. The production was undoubtedly popular, as evidenced by its early tours before reaching some of the major London theatres. The image captures the essence of the play's themes of temptation, addiction, and the unseen dangers that lurk beneath the surface, making it a compelling and timeless piece of theatre history.
