Mary was portrayed by Margo Ross who handled her role with grace of movement and sensi- tive facial expression. Joseph, played by Robert Orton, dis- played the kindly and protective interest toward his small family that has always been expected of his character. Elizabeth, an older figure in the Christmas drama, was sen- sitively handled by Jill McLen- nan as she transmitted the deep affection and joy between Mary and Elizabeth. Eileen Lawrence, in angelic garb as Gabriel, bore with vigor the good tidings of the birth of the Babe. The. winsome and innocent faces of small girls dominated the scene of the angelic host, and were played by Christine Elliott, Brenda Catton, Lynn Os- woman's daughter, was re- -turned to its cage. borne, Wendy Jollymore, Pam- ela Morton and Lynn Currie.

PERFORMED BY CHILDREN With the exception of the nar- rator and voice, the Nativity was performed entirely by chil- dren.
