Imagine all this and then take away Broadway and replace it by Peru; the playhouse becomes the auditorium, the date is May 27, the cast is made tin of college men but the play is still "Brother Orchid." Little John Sarto, ruthless gang ster with a Napoleon complex, re turns from 10 years in prison to find his throne has been taken over and that he is to be "taken for a ride." He escapes his would be murderers and takes refuge with the Little Brothers of the Flowers, a commun ity of monks who do nothing but "pray and herd posies." The brothers show Little John great kindness and a way of life he never knew pos sible. He begins his regeneration by changing his name to Brother Or chid. His slang and antics often startle his brothers a little but they accept him as he is and he is very happy with them. His big chance to do something good comes when his former cronies attempt to break into the flower market, the brother's only means of existence. The way Bro ther Orchid handles the mobsters and becomes an unsung hero makes the climax of the play.

Contractors have stated they can make up for the delay, however, by putting more men on the job.
