PHOTOGRAPHERS laleEwwan's Phone 84 - - - Clinton GOOD FRIDAY PRESENTATION SUCCESSFUL The Hospital Aid and the Girls' Club of Wesley -Willis United Church' jointly sponsored a re- markable presentation in the church on Good Friday afternoon. The artists were Mrs. May Rance MacKinnon, Mrs Morgan J. Ag- new and Cpl. A.R. Person, RCAF. Mrs. MacKinnon, in a most com- mendable manner, presented Wil- son Barrett's "The Sign of the Cross.” This story takes place in ancient Rome and depicts the story of the persecution of the Christians at the time of the Em- peror Nero. The story opens with Melos wooing Mercia in her home but she not being sure of her love does not accept him. A month later Mercia's parents have been killed in the purge of Christians and she has been taken to the home of a family friend, Flavins. Marcus Superbus, a prefect of Rome, comes into the streets when Mercia is being tormented and hastily breaks up the mob. When he sees the beauty of Mercia he immediately falls in love with het. While this scene is taking place Tigellinus, a trusted coun- cillor of Nero, arrives with the edict that all Christians are to be captured and killed at once. Metullus and his aides are ever- lastingly ribbing Marcus about his infatuation over the Christian girl. and are ever on the alert to report to Nero of Marcus' actions. Bernice, a young patrician lady, who has been in love with Marcus for a long time and 'who is ex- pected by all to marry him, finds out about his as she puts it so- called love for Mercia and threat- ens to go to Poppea, Nero's cruel and heartless wife, and reveal to her that Marcus is secretly shield- ing Mercia. On his return from Bernice's palace, Marcus finds out that there is to be a secret meet- ing of the Christians and he hurries there in case Mercia is hurt. A great number of Christ- ians are killed and others captur- ed, among them Mercia. Marcus, however, was able to get her tak- en to his palace. Later she escapes and gets to the prison and is kept with her fel- low Christians. Marcus however gets her brought back to his palace, He goes to Nero and pleads for her life, but although Nero is al- most willing, Poppeo, his wife, seeks blood as her revenge and so the edict is given that if Marcus can persuade Mercia to give up her Christianity and publicly state this, Mercia will be spared. Marcus returns to the prison where Mercia has been re -taken and pleads with her to give up Christianity. He tells her of his love for her and she tells him that she feels the same way. The drama ends when the guard comes to lake Mercia to the Coliseum for the slaying and Marcus de- clares that he is going with her as he has seen that Christianity is the only true religion. Parts taken by Mrs. MacKinnon were Nero, Emperor of Rome; Poppea, his wife; Marcus' Super - bus, Prefect of Rome; Tigellinus, trusted councillor of Nero; Metal- lus and Licinius, assistants to Tig- ellinus; Glabrio, good-natured inebriate; Philoclemus, an effem- inate young man; Bernice, a Pat- rician lady; Dacia, a gossip; Flav- i.us, leader of Christians; Mercia, ;'young Christian girl; Melos, young architect; Stephonus, a little boy The entire scene was laid in the city of Rome. Mrs. MacKinnon's dramatics have been known in Clinton for a great many years but Friday's performance was certainly an outstanding event in her career. The perfection with which she captivated the spirit of each char- acter she portrayed, was indeed a masterly touch. Assisting Mrs. MacKinnon was Mrs, Morgan J. Agnew at the organ who had captured the spirit of the monologue with her beauti- ful music. On leaving the church one per- son was heard to remark that: "too often we miss the real touch of musicianship given by Mrs. Agnew when she is heard so fre- quently but this is one occasion when she belongs to the real art- ist class." The beauitful music fitted in perfectly with the var- ious scenes of the monotog"le. Musical numbers played. by Mrs. Aynew were "Hymn of Glory," P. A. Yon; "Elegy," Massenet.; "Prelude in C Minor," Chopin; "March to Calvary," Maunder; and "Benedictus." Gounod, Assisting Mrs. Agnew with the music was Cpl. A. R. Persan with his violin, whose selections "Ros- ary," Nevin, and "Ave Marie," Schubert, delighted the audience present. Rev. Andrew Lane very briefly introduced the programme and thanked theaudience for their attendance' on behalf of the two societies.
