The tableaux shown at in- tervals were accompanied by suit- able hymns. The first' of these "The Annunciation," was accom- panied by 'Ave Marla," sung beau- tifully by Miss Ainley, teacher of music and voice at the college, With the cholr singing "We Three Kings of Orient Are," the picture ot the three kings bowing before the Chirst Child artisticly depicted in pantomine--the kings, {in their gorgeous robes offering their cost: ly gifts. Following the adoration of the kings, came the shepherds, bowing in reverence before the Holy Babe. This scene was shown while the choir sang 'While Shep- herds Watched their Flocks." The tableau of the Holy Family, the Babe, the Virgin Mary and Joseph no evidence guarded by the angel Gabriel, was most. beautiful."

Other carols sung during the performance were: The First Nowell, Came upon a Midnight Clear, O, Little Town of Bethlehem, and O, Come All Ye Faithful. The 'costuming for these tableaux was extremely well done and with the stage lighting as it was, it was shown off to the best advantage, Although some of the scenes were shown for over three minutes, not a movement could be noticed in any of the characters .
