Academy Christmas Play.

The Holy Tide was anticipated at
st. Mary's Academy last week when
the Senior Classes presented, what
we honestly consider. one of the
best m modern religious dramas OF the
great Christmas mystery tNat has
ever beer written God PLAYS aud
excellent acting are an established
tradition at the Academy; and no
matter how many finished artists
and musicians leave for their life
work at the close Of each schoo' year,
there is ever en- abundance o. talent

shine the Stars" of the past. The
traditions has b en- nob'y sustair ed
in the Night OF Wonders given
Friday evening
The thtme Of the play was exceed
irgiy simple, and even the little
ones in tho audience were familisr
with the "old. old story" yet the
actors entered into their parts with
such a lively sense OF thu reality Of
it all, such religious enthusiasm
which seemed new born, that one
could far y himself transported TO
the hills OF Bethlehem and lhs Man
ger aud the Court of Herod as an
original witness OF those marvsGous
scenes. The stage setting aud
scenery were beautifully appro-
pirate; the cussuming and makeup
OF the characters was charming.
The music OF she play was choral 10
character. and the sweet singers of
ST. Mary's were never in better
voice.
There were two pastoral scenes
near Bethlehem. viz before and
after the Nativity; the court scene
at the palace OF Herod was simply
perfe ct the colon q ade curtain form
ing a magnificent setting for the
oriental robes and regal cos.umes
There were two manRer seems, The

Or course there we're m,jor ar d
minor parts, but the gestures, pos

OF maximum quality. One who
could witness this play as acted last
week at the Academy and not feel
the thrill OF alteration aud Joy and
love for the divine child about whom
10 all centered-must, indeed, be
devoid o. all religious sense, OF faith
and gratitude The pity is that
plays are as yet not within the reach
OF the people at large. but confined
TO the Academy. and the compare
lively few who patrouize them.
The names OF the privileged ones
who toos part in the play appear be-
fore them. We trust they will give
US many such dramatic treats in the
time TO come.
