Later in the year, in the first week of March, Father Frank Marlin presented a one act play festival.
The first of his one-act plays was "The Girl" by Edward Pepple.
An interesting side-light of this play was the fact that no girl appeared in the cast. The entire
cast was made up of three men. Two opposing lovers and one frightened English butler carried the
entire action of the play.
The most hilarious scene of the play came when the two lovers had a pistol duel with the English
butler as referee. The latter was to recite the alphabet and drop his handkerchief when he felt like it.
". . . Haitch, Hi, Hell" droned the butler. Beads of perspiration poured down his brow. He dropped
the handkerchief, shots fired; one lover fell. The butler took a drink and fainted.
John Murray as the butler; Charles Higgins as his master; Charles Harris as the winning lover
were the theatrical heroes.
The next play was saturated with murders; bloody corpses; hard, salty, bitter thieving pirates.
Father Marlin presented "The Late Captain Crow" by Louise Armstrong.
' Dan Kafferty was the "Gentleman" of the money-thirsting crew. But, as a gentleman, he was
probably the worst of the lot. Jack Kern, an ole" timer, hobbled around the stage on one leg, cutting
everyone in the back with verbal thrusts. The best performance according to several faculty critics was
the pathetic, and heart-rendering performance of Andrew Lombrazo. Andy was siolen from his home
by the pirates, so he could assist them. His pathetic attempts to escape; to strike a non-agression
pact with his captors.
Dick Kautz, Ray O'Neill, Wayne Jeglum, John Kern and Harry Hicks, are all deserving of tremendous praise for their great work.
Bill Capraro, who delivered a funeral oration while in a drunken stupor, provided the comic shock
of the evening.
