AMATEURS EXCEL
IN COMEDY PLAY
St. Joseph's Parish Entertain
ment Wins Heavy Applause

Genuine humor. clever acting and
an interesting plot were features
which won the approval of a large
audience in attendance at st. Jo-
seph's Parish society play. "Mary's
Other Husband" which was present
ed for the first time at the Y. NJ.
7. A. & B. society hall last evening.
The show was one which offered
a series OF situations. one after the
other in such way that humor
increased steadily throughout.
Miss Catherine Callahan played
her part with tinesse which could
not be improved upon. She was on
the stage often and had a very dit
ticult role. Without doubt most of
the honors for the comedy parts
went TO Miss Nellie Ryan. whose
every appearance was signal for
prolonged laughter. Joseph Gala
han. whose part was that of the
doctor who talked himself into and
out OF situations. was star and
Alice Bratten was excellent in her
part. Richard Miller, as the husband
who was in trouble from the be-
ginning until the end when he was
finally put in Jail, was remarkab Bile
in that he had never been in dra-
mates before. Francis Sicily was
Just the type to play his character.
The manner in which Delphine
Malona interpreted the part Of
Mary's aunt was such that favorable
comment could be heard through
out the audience. Irene Gabney.
whose part was that of Mary's
cousin. proved impressive. especially
in a scene in which she breaks her
engagement. Joseph Callahan was
hit coming TO the front especially
in the second act during dinner
table conversation. William O'Brien,
who has won much praise in the
past because of his skill in Irish
