High school lecture ends with monologue by Rev James O Donnell
The last high school lecture Friday at the opera house featured Rev James F O'Donnell performing an 18 character monologue from Wilson Barrett's The Sign of the Cross. Audience praise followed as Fr Zum buch and Fr Dooling lauded the presentation. O'Donnell then planned another show at Long Point. The course faces a $30 shortfall this year due to lower patronage and higher ticket costs, though all numbers were judged worthwhile.
