LEGION POST MAPS OUT PROGRAM DURING FAIR Ex-Service Men and Company K to Stage “Over the Top” Scene During Pageant Activities of the post during the Northern Minnesota Fair and histor- ic pageant here next week were dis- cussed at the regular meeting of the Ralph Gracie post of the Amecrican Legion held at the rooms , of the Civic and Commerce association Thursday evening at 8 o’clock.

The open- ing “Dance of Salutation” is a most impressive ballet using 86 dancers symbolizing the spirits of the waters forests, minerals, fruits, flowers and grains and the presentation of their gifts ‘to the community. The Gift bearers arc joined by the Seasons in a beautiful dance combining in- tricate steps and graceful statesque formations. The costumes of the Gift Bearers are Greek in character and in pastel shades and they carry fitting spmbols of their service. The seasons wear robes and veils of Batik design and in the colors of the sea- sons represented. “The Dance of the Dawn’ is a charming acsthetic number in which sixteen maidens in delicate shaded classic costumes, who appear in the gray dawn, followed soon by the Sun and her four attendants in brilliant hues of yellow and orange. The beautiful mingling of dainty colors and the use of the Sun’s veils in an intricate figure make this dance peculiarly effective. The music used is Woodiand Echoes and Grieg’s “Morning,”’ “The Flame Dance,” representing forest fires, will form one of the most dramatic and effective inter- ludes pf the pageant. The Torch dance music of Edward German’s one of the most brilliant of ballet numbers, will be played for the flame-clad fire spirits to evoke the whirling fantastic play of smoke and fire. A fascinating “Fairy Dance Dra- ma” will be given by over 100 lit- tle people. It is safe to predict that (Continued on Page 8.)
