The plays were given as a Red Cross benefit, and over $200 was cleared. The first play, “A Belgian Christmas Eve. was a war tragedy, which depicted very vividly the horrors of the German invasion of Belgium. The action took place in the home of a Belgian doctor who has been murdered by the invading Germans. The dead man's wife. Rada, is the heroine of the play.
