THE ST. PATRICK'S DAY PLAY IN 1924

In the March 1926 copy of Let's Go the parish bullentin of the time, Father O'Connor says:

"The Mothers' Club Minstrel has become a parish institution. Given annually for the past two years, these shows have always drawn capacity houses. The coming show, the result of adding several years' experience to the natural ability of these industrious ladies, is to be, according to the advance notices, 'bigger and better than ever.'"

This is fairly strong evidence that the earliest show on record is the 1924 show. However, Father O'Connor didn't begin Let's Go until 1925, so I have found no other records of this show.
