That New Play!

Was it intention or coincidence
that brought the stenographer to
her employer’s apartment just as
he was leaving with stolen weal,
th? In etiher case, if she had
great faith in his honesty, would
it change his plans? What thots
and feelings would be his, torn
between long-restrained tempta
tion, yet inspired by the trust
of his customers?
Upon such problems is based
Wilde’s play “The Finger of
God”, which is the Drama Club’s
January selection. The play will
be presented in the Federated
Chruch at 7:45 p.m. Sunday, the
31st.
Excellent interpretation is
achieved by the cast—Mrs. Leroy
M. Sullivan as the intruding sec
retary. Andrew Sather as the vil_
lain-hero, and Carl Wuorinen as
the valet involved in his own
dual career. The three "achieve
a dramatic situation, and event
ually^but a pre-viewer must
not tell too much.
