I commend this bravery OF re-

fact that she Is an opportunist

monumental indifference to what

Had the play been framed for
four acts, the last would have
seen the countess resorting to
pantomime. To the detriment of
her lines, increasing with each
act she was ostentatious>i in her
concern for hands, feet and right

LENTEN PLAY By
ST. PATRICK
PA YERS

For their annual Lenten pro
duction, the st. Patrick Players
last night offered The Vision q
dramatic recital OF the regenera-
ton Of the penitent thief at Cal
vary, before d large audience &C
Carroll Hall. The play will be
seen nightly this week.
The Vision" comes from the
pen Of the Rev. John r.. Burns,
Of Villa Nova College, and IN
some respects differs from the
many conventional dramas that
have been built around the pas
sion and death Of the Nazarene.
IN The Vision" the major theme
is the life Of Dismas, described
in the Bible as the thief and
robber who preyed upon the Ro-
man popuiace and was sentenced
to be cr1cified with stlle Saviour.
His penitence on the cross and
ultimate regeneration are de.
scribed and pictured in d series OF
dramatic incidents, closely knitted
with symbolicaI scenes.
The play calls for intelligent in.
depreciation IN its main speaking
parts and gave Miss EsteMe Muir
lay S4SRf @0k@kBUIAAIA1IY To LGNGGA1 &AkA
abundance Of emotional talents.
Last night Miss Murray seemed
In complete sympathy with the
mood and purpose OF the char
acter and the result was q per-
Torrance thoroughly convincing.
Able support In the other iinpor-
tant roles is provided by Luke
Fegan as the penitent thief, DEN
mis- Conneli. Maurice Jarvis, Alloys
ius Kane, Royal Foster. John
McInerney. Joseph Bly, and DAN
Tel Stanton. Adding to the i'm
pressiveness and effectiveness Of
the play were the moments OF
pageantry and the musical en-
Enlistment provided by an en-
semble that was led by Helen
Ault, Mary Haltigan, Harriet MUIR
ply and Helen Terneake.
The production department OF
the Players deserves commenda-
ton for the elaborate sets pro-
Yided for the action Of the drama
and the colorful and appropri-
ate costuming aided materially in
the creation OF reverential atmos-
phere.
The play VIII be presented
nightly with matinees on Wednes-
day. All the proceeds will be de-
voted. to the mission churches Of
nearby Virginia and Maryland.
