But perhaps the one thing that contributed more than any other toward the success of the whole affair was the lighting. Shirley Ware had arranged a just right effect for each scene. The Star of Bethlehem shown down on the wise men, whose face[s] were reflected by the dull glow of their campfire on the desert sands, and in a pathway of light the Angel of the Lord appeared with the Heavenly hosts, praising God. Mrs. Alice Noyes directed the cantata and the church people, young and old cooperated with her to the fullest extent, not only in ably performing their respective parts but also in the preparation of the many and varied costumes. The collection taken is to be used as a nucleus for an organ fund.
