Description
Variety Show
A Nativity scene, with a choral background,
climaxed the finale of the show.
Florence Foster Jenkins, pantomimed by Don Bauman,
grasps for a high note as her accompanist, Phil
"Liberace" Clark, tickles the ivories.
The Seminary Department of St. Ambrose College presented its annual Christmas Variety Show on the evening
of December 11, 1954, under the direction of Robert E.
Lee. Mr. Lee, appointed by the Manning Club President,
Norman Goodman, organized and supervised the event,
which is annually performed, directed, and produced by
the seminarians exclusively.
This year the show was composed of ten acts. To mention just a few of these acts: John Anderson and Morris
Augustin cleverly portrayed two "farmers" in a rural life
skit; vocal solos were rendered by Marvin Eldred and Bill
Crawford, both accompanied by Floyd Stromberg; a takeoff on Sigmund Romberg's "Student Prince," written by
Bernard Bush, included dramatic and vocal excerpts from
the operetta; an oldtime western movie skit displayed the
many talents of Bill Fennell and company; Atkinson, Clark,
McCarthy Kimball raises a point of order as
Judge Goetsch tries to quiet the bedlam created in the
court by Don "Crazy kw' Donabugh, a witness.
"Ya got 'im tins time, brother" says Rural Life
Convention delegate John Anderson to farmer Morris
Augustin, as he bags a duck.
