THE FATHER RYAN PLAYERS EN'-' VERY year for the past six years. Cathedral has shown itself not only S3 ,CQ as a college which excells in the fields of sports and education, but also in dramatics. The event takes place at the Academy of Music. ,g,,f,.,,.,, . Although Father Ryan has set a difficult standard by his first and often called the greatest drama, The First Legion , nevertheless, each succeeding year seems to hit a bulls eye on that target, scoring what approaches or even equals The First Legion . The reports of The Least of My Brethren have been very good. Some say it is the best Cespecially the castl. But if it could come near being as good as the hits of the previous years, all the long days of Blood, Sweat and Tears are well rewarded. The players sacrificed their entire Easter vacation in order to make the show the success that it was. To narrate the story or even the highlights would tend to take away from it. The stars?-Fr. Darcy, Fr. Ierome, Benny, foe, the warden, Tom Walsh- all stars. Each lived and acted his part-even afterward tto the enjoyment of everyonel Benny was getting the quiet bin , Hodgson his sumptuous re- pasts , and Father Ierorne was enjoying his connundrums . Whatever it has accomplished has not been accomplished through mere chance or good fortune, but instead, by hard labor and earnest effort. Father Mulrooney has never produced a show without putting every ounce of his own energy into it and this one was no exception. No one resented his honest criticism or became swell-headed from his abundant praise. Indeed that the play was the success that it was is due in a very large measure to his unceas- ing activity and never-ending toil. Other dramas of less renown were the Christmas and the various radio plays put on by the various classes. For the Christmas play, the members of the College put on a one act comedy called, lt Will Be All Right on the Night . The various radio plays were put on by Peter Chiara, '42, lames Reilly, '44 and Hugh Mulligan, '44. And so we close the current dramatic season with the joyful feeling that the Father Ryan Players , have added another hit to the already magni- Iicent collection of Cathedrals dramatic gems.
