THE PENITENTES
By LOUIS HOW
The Chicago Record says:
"To describe the customs of this band of intensely religious people, to retain all the color and picturesqueness of the original scene without excess, was the difficult task which Mr. How has done well."
The Brooklyn Eagle says:
"The author has been fortunate enough to unearth a colossal American tragedy."
The Chicago Tribune says:
"'The Penitentes' abounds in dramatic possibilities. It is full of action, warm color and variety. The denouement at the little church of San Rafael, when the soldiers surprise the Penitentes at mass in the early dawn of their fete day, will appeal strongly to the dramatizer."
The Interior says:
"Mr. How has done a truly remarkable piece of work * * * any hand, however practiced, might well be proud of the marvelously good descriptions, the dramatic, highly unusual story, the able characterizations."
