COLLEGE of st. Thomas: 'The For
tune Hunter comedy in four acts,
was staged by the Department of Pub
lie Speaking at the College Auditors
UNI, Wednesday and Thursday even
ings, December II and 49, In spite
of the harsh weather and threatened
car strike the hall was crowded at
both performances. The play was not
only we'll attended but we'll received.
The audience entered into the spirit
of this refreshing comedy in man
ner that bespeaks the highest praise
for those who took part. The play
itself is delightfully."- sparkling and
wholesome, and drives home, as few
modern comedies do, some of life's
most serious lessons, with a deft and
yet playful hand. All of the actors
seemed particularly well suited to
their parts, and showed training and
a nice appreciation of their lines.
But especially notable work was done
by John Courtney, as Nathaniel Dun
can, and by Jack Morrissey as Betty
Graham The performance was under
the direction of Professor William
Jameson.
cretin High School: On last
Tuesday afternoon the assembly hall
of the school was the scene of very
interesting Christmas program, on
which each class of the institution
had a representative. The program
opened with the "Adeste Fideles," by
the Cretin orchestra, which was then
taken up by the entire audience.
Master John Dryer elected much
merited applause by his rendition OF
several selected vocal solos. Stere-
opticon views of Dickens Christmas
Carol, accompanied by a short sketch
of the enhancing story, were ap'
preciated by the young audience,
which seemed to catch the beautiful
Christmas spirit that our most popu-
lar author wishes to convey. A relig-
ious tone was given to the program
by stereoptieon views of the life OF
Christ. The Junior Glass Glee Club
then rendered some appropriate
quartet selections. Mr.. Sheridan
Buckley followed with an essay on
THE Christmas Spirit" The program
was concluded by some remarks by
Rev. Brother Elzear, principal, and
classes were dismissed for the holi-
days to be resumed on Monday, Jan
