"Rose Marie" was produced by Sir Alfred Butt in March last year,
and with it the theatre's losses were turned into profits as if by a 3 magician's wand. The first three months of its run brought returns sufficient to wipe out previous losses, clear the £20,000 cost of its 6 production, and pay a 6 per cent,
dividend.
