ILL
cago concert, May 2Sj at the Art insti
tute. In tho poster, around the central
figure, is a conventionalized rainbow
arch, tho idea of which is taken from
Navaho an and myth. The Navaho
regards the rainbow as a goddess
(goddesses are always represented
with rectangular heads), and the rain
bow is drawn by them as a woman
with a vastly elongated body. They
also regard the rainbow as a gate
to the cloudy and luminous caves of
the gods possibly from rainbow ef
fects in the great canyons of the
southwest.
This image is taken as a symbol i
zation of the second part of the pag
eant, in its relation to the first. For
the rainbow, like sunshine and vege
tation, is one of the great phenomena
of nature. "Coronado's Vision," . as
the second part is called, was first
thought of by Ralph Northrup, who
had hoped to produce a pageant on
this theme. His untimely death pre
vented the execution of this idea by
himself. Mr. Alexander thought it
fitting that the idea should be car
ried out in the Pageant of Lincoln,
for which itTiad already been decided
that Omaha- should be the theme. It
is also fitting that members of the
Kosmet club, of which Mr. Northrup
was a moving spirit, should present
the dramatic part of this scene, which
is in their hands.
The vision itself a great illumina
tion of the city of Omaha, seen
through a rainbow arch is the final
portion of the pageant, and the part
which most fully explains the title
J of the piece as a whole. "The Gate
City" has long been an epithet of
Omaha; here the Navaho symbolism
of the rainbow, as an arch of prom
ise and a gateway to the treasure of
rain and green life, is taken over as
befitting to the metropolis of a state
which, like Nebraska, is directly de
pendent upon vegetation for its
wealth and hopes. The Navaho sym
bol is again fitting in that it was from
the country of the Pueblo and Navaho
Indians that Coronado came on his
journey of discovery to the Nebraska
country.
The poster has been executed by
Mies Bernice Branson, whose work is
well known to Cornhusker patrons,
and who painted the beautiful poster
which attracted so much attention
last year.

A Kensington Suit
Has Backbone
The back-bone of a Suit of clothes is in tho fabric and
the making. No matter how smart it may look at first,
if it hasn't a back-bone of all-wool fabric ami skillful
making it cannot give you satisfactory -wear.
Kensington Clotlves have back-bone. They are tailored
up to a standard, not down to a price. Instead of hav
ing their style pressed in, as some have, Kensingtons have
it built in with careful making and the most dependable
materials.
That's why they fit and stay fit. It's why they are,
really cheaper than clothes you'd pay less for to begin
with. Won't you stop and see them it will pay you.
