Pilgrims' Landing
- Being Observed
y4,aSeant Depicting Scenes
From Legends of Norsemen
to Present to Be Staged
Tonight in Boston.
' Boston, Mass., July 13. The pa
geant, depicting scenes from the leg
ends of the Norseman, through the
Pilgrim Fathers and down to the
world war, celebrating the tercenten
ary of the landing m the Pilgrims
here tonight will open with a fan
fare of trumpets. i
Then speaks a voice from the
rock, which is illuminated, but where
no human being is visible.
"To me the Pilgrims come," the
Nwice declaims, after reciting the
Vransitory visits of traditional Norse
men and of Englisii, French and
Dutch adventurers. The prologue
concludes:
"Of me, the rock in the ooze, they
have made the cornerstone of the
republic."
Scene after scene follows, passing
from the Norsemen crossing the har
bor in their galley and fighting with
the Indians on the shore, to authen
tic history. The visits of early ex
plorers, including John Smith and
Champlain, are. depicted in tableaux,
concluding with a view of an empty
and desolate stage symbolizing the
great pestilence which swept away
nearly all the Indians from the vicin
ity shortly before the year of the
Pilgrims' arrival.
The scene shifts to England, where
the struggle of the Puritans for the
right of independent thinking and
worship are portrayed. The Pilgrim
Esthers themselves then appear, at
"-Hcrooby, planning their migration to
;rhe Netherlands, and later enjoying
Dutch tolerance and hospitality.
Next comes the departure from
Delftshaven for the new world, fol
llowed by the signing of the compact
fcn the cabin ot the Mayflower, the
Ending at Provincetown, on the tip
Of Cape Cod, on November 25, 1620,
the final landing at Plymouth, the
(dealings with the Indians, hardships
of the first winter and the return of
the Mayflower, leaving behind the
remnants of the little Pilgrim band.
Two more scenes ot Pilgrim life in
Plymouth and then Governor Brad
ford is seen writing his chronicles.
. ,The light' go higher and in swift
uccssioii are revealed Washington,
L.ncoln and Roosevelt. A warlike
clash in the orchestra and the rulers
iof modern Germany, Turkey, Aus
tria and Bulgaria cross the stage. Out
in the harbor a light glows on the
Mayflower. Convoyed by the Pil
grims and the Dutch, the 48 state
f -gs are brought in view. The voice
from the rock cries:
"The path of the Mayflower must
. be kept openl"
One final chorus, with pageant
ground and harbor ablaze with light,
then the stage darkens. Only the
light on the Mayflower remains.
From the rock come the immortal
word of Lincoln, combined from
separate utterance:
"With malice toward none and
charity for all, it is for us to. resolve
that this nation under God shall have
-afnew birth of freedom."

strike of city electricians for high

ness district was supplied by lights

flickered cut, the shadows cast by

only served to emphasize the inky
darkness.

Laurier in "The Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse," then as Eugenie
Grandet in "The Conquering Power."
Now, after a year in the films, she
is well-known as the star . of her
future husband's most successful pro
