A - The play was given with strength and sincerity, and the entire cast was more than competent. com-petent. The heaviest roles were played by Wallace Jeffery, as prosecutor, and Frank Bishop as counsel for defense. Albert Nic-kle Nic-kle was the gardner charged with the theft of the body of Jesus. The cast included witnesses witnes-ses for and against. The story was decidedly different, dif-ferent, and varied comments were heard. The majority were of the opinion that the play was one of the best ever produc ed here. "The Vigil" is being presented in other parts of the state by MIA's with the same reactions. No doubt a second performance in Delta would again ag-ain play to a full house.

The action of the play takes place in a modern court room, and the meaning of the mission of Jesus Christ and the reality of his resurrection is debated.
