if ' 'tm fr - 1 ! 'jr-'rf' The students of the Senior Class of the Villa Maria Academy scored his- trionic success on Monday and Tuesday nights, Mar. 27 and 28, when they pre- sented Pilate's Daughter before two Well-attended and very appreciative audi- ences, The success of the Monday night display was bettered on Tuesday night as the young adies on the second performance had worn off the rough edges of the initial performance but both presentations were accorded prolific applause by the audiences. Pilate's Daughter is a scriptural drama in five acts from the pen of the Rev. F. L. Kenzel,'C. SS. R., and proved to be a magnificent vehicle for the young ladies of the Academy. The performances were given with acme of precision which indicated the sterling direction of Miss Mary Catherine Bar- rett, While the music by the Almhagen orchestra enhanced the pleasure of the performances. The scene of the play takes place in Pilate's house overlooking Jerusalem during the first act, During the succeeding acts the action is transferred to the Woods on the Alban, Hills, near Rome, to the Temple of Vesta with its perpetual fire: the Mamertine prison and the court of the Empress Agrippina.

'tToo Much Bobbie received a hila.rious appreciation. It is a comic sketch Wherein a boy by the name of Bobbie is confused with the name of a dog. The cast was more than pleased with the results of the time spent in perfecting their parts in Too Much Bobbie. They received many requests from their sister students to repeat the performance. Our Dispatch journalist, in speaking of this play said, Grace Anshutz and Elaine Gallagher, as the two old maid cousins brought forth much laughter every time they appeared. HelenVBarry's nonchal- ant attitude while playing the part of Sophie, the maid, was most amusing. Martha Angert accompanied by Cecilia Yeager pleased the audience with a vocal selection, So Beats My Heart for You. Those in the cast Were: Mrs. Griffith .. .. Elaine Gallagher Miss Kent . .. . . .
