social aspect and in the light of the box
office receipts The church was crowded
to its utmost capacity and the large
audience was warmly appreciative
throughout
The program was quite lengthy and
there was a tacit understanding that
there would be no encores but the insist
ence of the audience brought an Ave
Maria from Mr Snyder and some witty
remarks from Rev Daley in addition to
ti his eloquent recitation of Father Ryans
grand poem on the death of his brother
in the civil war
