The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1908-03-21
OGDEN, UTAH.
Sacred Heart Academy.

| Not far many years has so large
and appreciative an audience assem-
bled in the auditorium of Sacred
Heart academy as that which wit
messed the entertainment presented
there last Monday evening to do honor
to the friend and guide of the institu-
ton, Rev. P NJ. Cushnahan. Long
before p. M, the hour appointed
many were seated, awaiting what Og-
ednites have come to consider an I'M
usual treat.
AS the curtain rose the S. H. A CT
celia club rendered a very artistic
number, which served as an introduce
ton to the varied and excellent pro-
gram. Those taking part were Miss
Hague, Miss Cortman, Miss Stewart
Miss McCarty, Miss McNultY, Miss
Omaha Miss Mercer, Miss Ledwidge,
Miss Pease, Miss Kane, Miss Nc
Carly, Miss Trap, Miss Coltman,
Miss Gleed, Miss Niederkorn, Miss
Hague, Miss NJ. Kane. Miss Gamble.
The greeting by Miss Mccarthy was
touching tribute to the pastor of st.
Joseph's, and was delivered with an
ease and tenderness which rang true.
One of the most admired numbers
was the recitation Isle of the West,
written for the occasion and delivered
by sixteen young ladies robed in white
and with smilax draped gowns. The
effect was all that could be desired,
while the delivery showed real eX
preston. The theme was Celtic,
touching on the natural beauty of the
Emerald Isle, the loyalty and patriot
ism of her children. The melodies in
terspersed throughout the recitation
were sung with spirit and feeling by
the same young misses, and many a
heart beat in response to Erin, the
tear and the smile in thine eyes"
1.-The meeting of the Waters" Has
Sorrow Thy Young Days Shaded"
and loft In the Silly Night
The junior chorus class has estab-
lished its reputation. for as the little
misses stood in perfect order and
youthful animation the audience
caught the spirit and welcomed Their
appearance with earnest applause, to
which they responded by rendering
their number in good style. More pre-
tentious vocalists have graced Sacred
Heart stage, but not many have le-
ceived more sympathetic appreciation
than that accorded Miss McNulty N
Ireland. Love You" The girlish
simplicity of manner and inestilrable
charm, and her voice is sweet and
tender.
The popular, brilliant valse inter
mezza by Lebar was executed with q
dash and finish by the Misses G. Ma
lone and Kochler, both little artists
and favorites of Ogden audiences. The
senior chorus class was heard at it's
best in Waves of the Danube.'
which they sang with unusual eclat
and finish for amateurs.
Miss Coltman, as elocutionist harp
list, actress and vocalist, was uncX-
celled; she is indeed gifted in many
lines. and, has long been a familiar
figure on the stage of Sacred Heart,
where she will be missed when the
class of '0S leaves in June. A warm
encore displayed the esteem in which
she is held, and to the singing of the
Shoogy Shoe" she brought spirit feel
ing and artistic finish, and gratifiei
the expectant audience by rendering
a little ballad
In "A Pan of Fudge" the parts were
equally well sustained, and the Teal-.I
istic candy making, and rule breaking
of school life, provoked genuine |
laughter
1.-The exit of Obadiah swas an ex-
ceedingly merry one. The class of 0S
displayed theid histrionic ability. and
the naturalness of every detail en-
HANGED the charm. 1t would be i'm
possible to specialize, as each one
was excellent in her role even the |
real live parrot Obadiah.
At the conclusion of the entertain |
ment Rev. P. NJ. Cushnahan adj |
