SACRED Heart College Boys Give Play
For Benefit of Church.

For Benefit of Church.
Long ago the palm for amateur the
atricalS was awarded by those who
know 10 the boys comprising the Sa-
cred Heart College Dramatic society.
The success. which they have annually
gained at 1laeir play was repeated Sun
day night, when at the Broadway the
atre they produced for the second time
Edward the Martyr before an audi
ence which taxed all three floors OF
the house.
The fact that the drama was sacred
In character inspired many to attend
who would not ordinarily be interested
in Sunday performance, and the ap-
plause following the curtain fall at
the end of each of the six acts was
deafeninE.
The proceeds of theentertainment
which, it is said. viii reach a goodly
sum, VIII be devoted to the work OF
building a church for the Holy Family
parish, which is presided over by Rev.
Lawrence Fede, 5. ]. Father Fede is
connected with the College of the Sa
cred Heart and it was in apprecia
ton of his kindness TO the boys that
they volunteered their services for his
church. His congregation formerly
worsbipped in the college chapel. but
he is DESTROYS of erecting d suitable
house of worship in a more central To-
cation for the people of Berkeley. He
has now practically enough money to
so ahead with the work, and much
credit for the success which has at
tended his eoffrts he attributes to the
students of the college.
In the spring Edward the Martyr
was given by the dramatic society at
The Broadway, and many of those who
saw the play then were anxious to re-
peat the experience, so excellent was
the cast. The scenery. which was
specially prepared for the piece. is ex-
ceptionally handsome, and the cos (
tunes are all that could be desired. I
The play was written by a Jesuit |
