church, Cavis goes to investigate. He observes Edmund Gilbert preparing a children's play featuring an object called the "Star of Christmas". Wondering aloud about this as he leaves the church, Cavis is overheard by Arthur Hollingshead. Arthur, a historian, reveals that the Star of Christmas is an ancient relic not been seen by the public in 79 years. He rushes off with great excitement to report the news, which promptly makes the front-page headline the following morning.
