ST. MICHAEL’S CHURCH, SAVANNAH BEACH—Residents of Savannah Beach and a host of sum-*
mer vacationists worship at St. Michael’s Church, Savannah Beach, Georgia. The frame edifice serves
a parish which was established in 1896, and which was a mission of the Cathedral of St. John the
Baptist in Savannah Until about ten years ago. Since that time, St. Michael’s has been a separate
parish. Monsignor Joseph F. Croke, of Atlanta, and Monsignor James J. Grady, of Augusta, have
served as pastors of St. • Michael’s, and the present pastor is Monsignor Joseph E. Moylan, Vicar Gen
eral of the Diocese of Savannali-Atlanta. Father Cornelius E. Maloney is acting as priest in charge
of the parish at the present time, and making his residence at the parish rectory. During the sum
mer months, quite a number of the priests of the Diocese of Savannah-Atlanta find the rectory of
St. Michael’s a pleasant location in which to spen d their vacations. Savannah Beach, for years has
been a popular seaside resort, and many Savannah families have summer homes there. The hous
ing problem in Savannah during the war years resulted in a substantial increase in the number of
year-round residents on Tybee Island, so for some years the parish has had a resident pastor.

SAVANNAH, Ga.—The Dram
atic Department of the Catholic
Young People’s Association, suc
cessfully presented “Brother Or
chid,” a drama in three acts,
adapted for the stage by Leo
I Brady of the Catholic University
of America, on the stage of the
Armstrong Junior Auditorium for
five performances during the
week of August 25.
The production was staged un
der the direction of Mrs. James
F. Glass, prominently known in
local amateur theatrical circles,
and the leading role of “Little
John Sarto,” or “Brother Orchid,”
was splendidly portrayed by
George Ammatuna, a newcomer
among the C. Y. P. A. players.
Others in the cast were Thomas
Mooney, as “Fat Dutehy;” Thomas
F. Walsh, as “Freckles;” Edward
Fahey, as “Dum Dum;” James S.
Bradley, as “the Gimp;” James
Jenkins ,as “Solomon;” Karl Hol
man, as “Dominic Battista;” Neil
Greer, as "Brother Nasturtium;”
Ted DeLorme, as “Brother Ger
anium;’’ John Elliott, as “Brother
Hollyhock;” and Thomas Fahey,
as “Abbot Jonquill.”
James F. Glass was the techni
cal director; Father George T.
Daly was the technical advisor;
Earl Weatherly, scenic architct;
Joseph Schreck, stage manager;
Mrs. Christopher Murphy, paint
er; Joseph Beranc, scripe holder;
Miss Wray Potter, lighting effects;
Jennenmann Walsh, Billy Peck,
Mary Daily, Nana Copps, Mary
MoonCy, Harriett Tetterton, Pa-
irifcia McMahon, Martha Bradley,
Betty Cartwright, Marlain Hohn-
erlein Karl Holmen, Patrick
Walsh, Ted DeLorma, set build
ers; Marguerite Laird and Jane
Graham, poster advertising, Chris
F. Hernandes, publicity, and
Thomas F. Walsh, business man
ager.
The thrilling story of “Brother
Orchid” has lo do with a mob df
big city gangsters and the comic
and dramatic situations which
arise when they are suddenly con
fronted by theif- gone, but not
forgotten, leader, “Little John
Sarto,” who returns after ten
years in prison to “muscle in” on
his old rackets. What happens
when this racketeering “big shot”
is “taken for a ride” and propelled
by way of gunfire into the petunia
bed of a monastery provides ex
citement and plenty of laughs.
The three acts necessary for
the play, requiring scenes in a
speakeasy, the monastery, and a
cell, were built with professional
exactness by the members of the
C. Y. I*. A., and formed colorful
and attractive backgrounds for the
capable acting of the members of
the cast.
