St ¢ Cac Dramatic Club Offers Performance as ‘Passion. Sunday Feature

‘Crown Him the Lord of Life," Written by Grace McCavran, Appears in Magazine; Young People Of First Presbyterian to Present Sketch. By EMMA RIVERS MILNER

The St. Cecilia Dramatic Club, with a four-generation tradition reminiscent of Oberammergau’s . Passion Plays, will celebrate its 62d

anniversary with the presentation Charles Lauck, who will direct

of “The Upper Room” tomorrow. the performance in the St. Cecilia

Hall of Sacred Heart Catholic Church tomorrow, is the son of the John Lauck who was in the cast of the first St. Cecilia play in 1878. As many

as four generations of some of the original families have participated in plays during the club's history. Said to be the oldest church dramatic organization in Indianapolis, the St. Cecilia Club has 200 members and gives seven plays each season. It was instrumental largely in building St. Cecilia Hall. “The Upper Room” was first pre-: sented by the club 20 years ago and has been repeated several times since. It will be given at 3 p. m. ,and 8:15 p. m. tomorrow, Passion Suudey.

Took Notes at English’s

When the club was started it was difficult to get printed plays for amateurs, according to John Lauck. He says he and fellow: club ‘members attended performances at English’s Theater, took copious notes and went home and -wrote plays which they gave for friends and neighbors.

The performance of “The Upper Room” tomorrow will: be different from previous presentations, since the organ will be heard during the whole drama. Harry Martin, Sacred Heart organist, will play. A total attendance of 1000 is expected. Miss Anna Marie Ohleyer will take the part of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Miss Mary Meyer will be Mary Magdalene. Others in the cast are Miss Katharine Guelden, Veronica, and Miss ‘Anna Louise Reibel, Samuel. Edward Eckstein will portray the doctor; Norbert Brinkman, Achaz; Joseph Loschky, Joseph of Arimathea; Charles Williams, Peter; Robert Timpe, John; John Lauck Jr., Judas, and George Lauck, Longinus.

Takes Title From Setting

The play takes its title from its setting, the upper room from which Jesus and the Disciples have departed after eating “The Last Supper.” A striking scene-is the penitent Mary Magdalene kneeling at the feet of the Virgin Mary. “The Upper Room” was written by th Rt. Rev. Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson, son of an Archbishop of Canterbury, and private chamberlain to His Holiness Pope Pius X in 1911. He was the author of articles, other plays and many novels. Msgr. Benson was born in 1871, joined the Roman Catholic Church in 1903 and died in 1914. 2 » »

Crown Him the Lord of Life

An Easter dramatization, or service, titled “Crown Him the Lord of Life,” written by Miss Grace McGavran of Indianapolis, is published in the March World Call magazine. The dramatization is designed for the dedication of the Easter offering in churches and schools. It calls for no costuming and only the simplest setting. A reader, quartet and group of young people say the lines, the prayers and sing the hymns. The service ends with the singing of the stanza which is in part as follows: “Crown Him the Lord of Peace! Whose power a scepire sways From pole to pole that wars may cease, Absorbed in prayer and praise. . ,

Instead of complying, the pastor worked even harder than he had at Garrett, Ind.,, where he became ill. The congregation grew rapidly; the frame storeroom where services were held was outgrown; a new church was built; and the pastor became quite well again!

The pastor is said to be nationally known for his success in the field of suburban community work. The Rev.

He told them of His great sorrow and of His impending death, and asked them to remain and watch with Him. It was the human Christ, craving human sympathy. and human companionship in the hour of His great trial. But there was that in His sould which no one could share, and so He went forward a little, alone with God, pouring out His soul in the agonized petition that the cup of suffering and final sacrifice might pass from Him. ” » o BUT EVEN AS He prayed, He realized that His destiny and the purpose of His earthly mission might be in the hands of a higher power, and He said, “Not as I will, but as Thou wilt.” Then, evidently with the ‘yearning for the human companionship, He came again to] the disciples. Finding them sleeping, He said to Peter, “What, could ye not watch with me one hour?” He admonished the disciples that they must watch and prey lest they enter into temptation, assuring them that the spirit is willing but. that the flesh is weak.

BUTLER FLIERS LEARN COURSE ISNT ASNAP

Two Already Have Soloed,

28 Others Near to ‘Big Moment.”

By SAM TYNDALL

- While they wait for’ their turn to :go up for a lesson, the Butler University - flying students hang around the office’in the Municipal Airport ‘administration, building and compare notes. From their casual remarks one thing. appears certain, they don't put the CAA flying course in the class of “snap courses.” All of the 30 students have successfully passed the 70 hours: ground school course and now have between 5 and 8 hours of controlled flight instruction. It’s the tough period for most of them, they say.

Nears. His Big. Moment

Eighteen-year-old Ted Sedvert, a Butler freshman, down from his 30-minute instruction period. Ted has 7% hours in the air and is just about ready for the big moment when the ine structor will say “now you take her up alone.” Anyway, Ted was asked what he has found so far to be the most Sitots thing about learning to

“Tne hardest thing -for. me is to keep -the plane in: a turn in rough weather,” ‘he said. He said land ings “don’t bother me so much.” Lewis Knudsen, ‘who is 21 and a junior, chimed in “landings don’t bother me either—what gets me is the takeoff. When I'm going for a takeoff, I can just see those wings scraping the ground. I don't feel good until I'm really : ‘up off the ground.” ‘Ted then told about his practice spin (with the instructor in the plane). - “A- spin isn’t what I thought it would be.’ I felt like I was sitting in a chair with noth ing under me. It wasn’t so bad— but I got a thrill out of it though —don’t think I didn’t.” =

' ~ One Girl Taking Course

One of the instructors confided that Ted was like many student fliers” in holding pre-conceived noabout “how terrible” the “spin” is. Just then a tall attractive girl bounced : in, put -on her coat and bounced out for her 30-minute lesson. She, Madge Rutherford, is the only girl in the course. Her fellow students agree that she 1s “pretty good at doing everything” she is supposed to do in her in. struction. The students can't tell very well how their fellow neophite fliers are doing.” The instructors don’t let one student see the grades of another student. Another rule is that the in: structors don’t tell the students just when they will be called upon to solo. Two already have soloed, the rest are just about ready. By June all of them will be licensed student pilots. . But it’s no snap course. Ted put it this way: “You have to think of 150 things (no less) at one time when you've got the controls,” and

Bur the way Ted said it ‘he meant not
