* PAGE EIGHT PAGEANT PLANS ARE DESCRIBED, WORK 1S-BEGUN Effort to be Made to Have Pageant a Community Af- fair, Says Director EXHIBIT RELICS WILL The Bismarck-Mandan historical pageant to be given September 18, 19 and 20 will be primarily a com- munity project. according to an- nouneement today by Mrs. D. L. Thurston, in charge of advance ar- rangements for the pageant. Mrs. Thurston said: The Bismarck-Mandan joint com- mett on the Mis- souri river vehicular bridge at 9 o'clock tonight according to Bis- marck time to decide by lot on what day the pageant shall be shown in Bismarck and on what days it shall be shown in Mandan, since it will be necessary to show it on two conse- cutive days in one or the other of the places, The great Bismarck-Mandan His- torical Pageant is to be primarily a community project, The events, be- ginning nearly two centuries ago, which have combined to build up this great tract and create a highly complex center of civilization in what was a few years ago a track- less wilderness, will be depicted in a huge drama of thrilling interest. This drama of the Missouri valley if this district is to be played by the people of the community, many of whom have lived through the very scenes expressed by the drama, The vast story-play requires 1000 people to act the parts of Indians, explorers, traders, trappers, pros- pectors, settlers, soldiers, mechan- ies, early civilians and late civilians, . symbolic characters, dancers and \ many other parts—all ages from the wee tot of five to the pioneer of 75 —all organizations, civic, social and religious, people of the towns and people of the surrounding country are asked to take part in the big spectacle. People of Bismarck—thjs is to be your pageant—the experiences and adventures. of your fathers and grandfathers and in several instan- ces of yourselves, so you must ap- pear in them to give the right quali- ty; the real “kick” to them. Do not wait to be asked; call up. Head- quarters 313, and volunteer your se: vices. Only a few rehearsals will’ be; required, all costumes are furnished so. you will have no bother on that score, and remember, it will be an honor, always to have had a part in this stupendous Celebration-Pageant which already is a matter of such importance in large eastern cities that special correspondents are plat ning to be present at the time of the performance. The orical. material for. the scenario which has been’ selected. by George Will of Bismarck’ and ‘Major Welch of Mandan and their respect- ive committees, willbe completed in a few days when the. gigantic. drama will be ready to cast, and rehearsals, called. Artist directors from the east will stage the production—there will be a special equipment, of highpower flood and ‘spot lights, gorgeous cos- tumes, a wonderful music score of. some 50 to 60. numbers which ‘will be played by the band and a spec- tacular fireworks finale when the Yankce boys stage an Over-the-top.” Plan Street Museum A street museum of relics and exhibits, in charge of the Burleigh County Pioneers, is to be a feature of the event. A meeting of the pageant dance committee was held yesterday after- noon at the office of Miss Hen: Beach, chairman. Symbolic ballets to be used as interluudes in the page-' ant include “The Gifts of Nature ‘and the Seasons,” “The _ Prairie Fire,” “The Great Dawn,” “The Flowers.” National European dances will be given in native costume. There will be a Pageant Queen Contest, it is announced by the con- test committee named by the gen- eral committee. It is planned to choose a Bismarck Queen, a Mandan Queen and a Missouri Valley Queen by popular vote, the queen to be crowned with great pomp and cere- mony. The contest is to open on Au- gust 28, and to continue simultan- eously in the various communities until the Pageant dates, September 18, 19 and 20, mittee will Drain pan. peaches glazed. peaches, ‘a | Amount GRANT COUNTY | Among’ the local’ Historical events to be emphasized are: The Lewis and Clark incident, showing ‘it. in the strange customs of the Mandans, the choosing of Sakakawea as the guide for the expedition, the departure of | the expedition, the big fur trading post at Mandan’ in 1830, a social function at old Fort Abraham Lin- coln when General and Mrs. Custer entertained, a '78 scene in Mandan when the Black Hills travel came that way, a, Roosevelt episode in- cluding the Marquis de Mores inci- dents, a World War episode. Bismarck Episodes Bismarck will stage a primitive Indian episode in which the Veren- drye’s, the Frenchmen, first white men to set foot on Dakota soil, visit the tribe of the Mandans their village which was built (on both sides of the river. This took place in 1738. Following this will came one of the fierce Indian-soldier encounters when Sibley drove the Indians acr the Dakota plains and the Missouri ‘at this point in '63 just after. the ‘rightfu Imassacres throughout the Minnesota and eastern Dakota dis- tricts. “ The coming of the railroad to Bis- marck, and incidents of the first settlement in '72 will next, be depict- ed—this will certainly be full of ex- citement and a laugh-a-minute be- sides—the, odltimers will, play this scene themselves—there's a reason! Boom days at Bismarck will show a lively time while a world of inter- esting facts, some curious, some’ tra- gic and some ridiculous will be dra- matized around the general upbuild- ing of the town, The Over-the-Top will also be staged in Bismarck. . plist CSAS County Fair which is to be held this year at’ Leith, September 13, 14, and 15 promises to be very interesting. The Sport Committee is working up several novel performances to fur- the people attending the fair. The exhibits will, it is hoped, be superior to anything in the past. The Fair association urges everyone to bring some exhibit. There will be ample room for quite a large num- of the association is to treat every- body cordially. ; There will be three days of fun and amusement, airplane flights, Ford novelty races, horse races, base ball games, merry-go-roun@ and many other features.
