...precariously gyrate heavenward in damaged harness. Passion Play performances have presented Director Taylor with a number of other headaches, such as the time Pilate (Secretary Ralph R.

And an interesting commentary on the whole performance is the tomb-like silence from the Harvard Law School, where a group of influential and honorable men, instead of running to the defence of tradition, are indulging in a little sit-down-and-wait strike of their own. For Caesar is ambitious, and the honorable men find it profitable to play...
