ICE and BAIT at PELICAN Pelican Cold Storage Company THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA PAGEANT OF PETERSBURG OUTSTANDING The realization Tuesday evening April 20, of what had been & la- bor of love of many years' duration, was experienced in Petersburg with the, presentation of Mrs. John Al- len’s musical pageant of the his- tory of Petersburg. Begun as one section of a larger “Alaska Pageant” sponsored by the Alaska Federation of Women's Clubs, the Petersburg section as presented was a fresh and sensitive- ly poetic interpretation of the spir- it and history of the Scandinavian town. Given in the Coliseum Theatre, every seat was filled, Dr. and Mrs. J. O. Rude, who went down for the event in their boat, report after re-| turning to Juneau. Opening the program, the school orchestra led by R. Griffin played a group of semi-classical numbers which were very well received, while the pageant itself opened with the realistic "Fishermien’s made up of an excellent chorus of full men’s voices, the singers dressed in oilskins and carrying a long net which they brailled in ef- fectively as they sang lustily. Seat- ed at the back of the stage the chorus formed an effective back- ground for the remainder of the pageant numbers. ¢ Two solos by Arne Lund, “Be- cause We Are Free” and “Our Pret- ty Girls,” were excellently done, as were the fighting choruses “V Stands for Viking and Victory,” and “Viking Pighting Song.” In the Vietory -number, high school stu- dents in white slacks and sweaters with a blue V on the backs, exe- cuted 'some’ intricate maneuvers. An accordian interlude by Jac- queline Hemnes was followed by the chorus “All Good Americans,” which showed ‘the transition from native land to American and the change in mood and allegiance. Albert Heimdahl described the early history of Petersburg, follow- ing which a colorful folk dance, the girls in remarkably beautiful authentic old country costumes, dis- played truly professional schot- tische steps. ' The ~Grandmother’s Song, “The Purple Hills of Norway,” captured poignantly the homesick longing of the older emigrant who still looks back with strong loya]t); to home ties. However it ended in robust laughter, when the reminiscing grandmother is whirled off in a spry dance by her entirely Americanized grandson, and the old lady's red wool stockinged legs twinkle through the intricate steps. “Grandmother” was played by Mrs. Evelyn Welde. Choruses ' “Happy Petersburg,” “The Founding Fathers,” *“Ameri- cans All” and the grim war mood of “Men Behind the Guns,” which were given in succession, highlight- ed the moods and history of the town and ended’ pertinently on the threshold ‘of today. Mary Allen, daughter of the composer, accom- panied the numbers on the piano. Following the pageant, composer Mrs. John Allen was called to the stage where she was greeted with enthusiastic handclapping and pre- sented with a big bouquet of rose- buds, tulips and daffodils. Mrs. Allen, who will soon cele- brate her 79 birthday, is one of the most loved of Petersburg citizens, An ardent lover of flowers as well as of music, the Allen home “Green- rocks” is a hower of flamboyant bloom from early spring until the heavy frosts argive. ——————— Mrs, Virginia Korhonen entered St. Ann's Hospital yesterday for surgery.
