School Children Entertain St. Josephat Parishioners (Summary)

Dziennik Chicagoski, Jan. 10, 1897

The St. Josephat parishioners were entertained by the school children Sunday afternoon at Hage's Hall. Songs, sketches, recitations, and declamations marked the program of entertainment. The presentation was of such a high calibre that it deserves a few words of commendation.

"Tom's Practical Joke," a humorous skit, provoked the capacity crowd to laughter. It should be mentioned that this play was presented in English. A short sketch, "Leszek Bialy" (The White Leech), impressed the audience.

The Polish songs, including solos, duets, and quartets, rendered by the Polish school children, brought them great acclaim. The recitations and declamations were equally good.

Just before the close of the program, several Negroes appeared on the stage and 2entertained all with song and dance.

The pastor opened and closed the event.

Credit should be given to the pastor and the Sisters of Nazareth for making this program possible.
