Smooth Co-ordination Effected. Many of the players, recruited from churches and dramatic clubs of the city, have adapted themselves to their parts through previous participation in the yearly performances. Last night's per- formance was charactedized by smooth co-ordination between members of the cast, who have been rehearsing under the direction of Miss Schreiner. ‘The lighting effects, arranged by Har- old Snyder greatly enhanced the spec- tacle, while musical interludes rendered by Katherine Riggs on the harp were particularly impressive. Miss Riggs was also the narrator of Van Dyke's famous dream legend. The two clergymen who participated |in the drama were Rev. Earle Wilfley, as the Omnipotent Voice, and Rev. G. M. Diffenderfer, who played the Hebrew Rabbie. The leading part was played by Denis E. Connell, as Artaban, the Median. . Biblical Episodes Portrayed.
