A Dramatic Pageant Endears Audience Despite Cold Weather
A devoted audience praised teachers and pupils for a staged drama featuring Dioskorus Vaclav Martinka and Hellanius Otto Strauss. Barbara Theresa Martinka clung to new religious beliefs aided by Syra Annie Ondrusek, with Angel Cecilia Netardus and a chorus of Angels. The plot centers on faith, betrayal, and sacrifice ending with Barbara facing execution while a divine vision reassures her of future glory. The performance concluded with thanks to Rt. Rev. Monsignor Netardus and Mr. Patek’s Orchestra.
