The version which will be given Is a literal translation, with some phruHes differing from the usual rendering of the Christmas story AS most people are accustomed to hearing it. The dramatic role of Herod already gives promise of “tearing a passion to tatters;" although It has not yet reached tbe furious heights of the later plays. The caat is as follows: Angel. Sybil Barrett; oth4*r Angels, Girls' Octette; Shepherds, Cecil Brown and James Wilder; Magi. Jack Overman, Proctor Hardiaon, and Morgan Sumner; Women, Kllsa- beth Coor, Barbara Boole; Virgin Mary, Doris Haiper; Herod, Hal Smith; Herod's Son, Rufus Brax ton, Herod's Soldier, Tommy Wat* aon; Interpreter, Charles Mayo. Scribe, Norwood Dunn. .Mary Frances Llewellyn has been co-ddlrector with Mrs. Hols* worth. The Glee Club will assist with the singing of carola. Last year due to the absence of a dramatic coach, no play waa preaented at Christmas time. With the addition to the faculty of a dramatics instructor, this year's preaentatlon Is expected to far exce<*d those of tbe past and fill in that very noticeable gap in the Christmas Program.
