Scottish Reformation.
The Scottish Reformation" an allegori-
cal play portraying the historic characters
of John Knox and Mary, queen Of Scots,
was given last night at the high school
auditorium under the auspices OF St.
Luke's Lutheran church.
The play wildly told the story of the
conditions that existed during Queen
Mary's reign, Of her coming home from
France. of the gay court that resounded
with merry dances and amorous mad
dgals and Of her being met on the
Scottish shores by the austere hymns OF
the adherents Of Knox. An ardent Roman
Catholic, she had come to rule Protestant
people, whose predominant passion was
hatred to her own religion. The terrible
feuds among the powerful families,
violence and murder that surrounded her
during her reign and her execution in
England years later were firmly i'm
pressed on the large audience by the ex-
cellent acting Of the characters in the
play.
The story of the reformation was
greatly improved in effectiveness by some
stereopticon views Of the life and times
Of Queen Mary and John Knox
This evening the play will be again
given at the high school auditorium.
