A8 BAR VL HOL DRESSREREARSL Pageant “The , Making of the Constitution,” to Be Staged Wednesday. _Dress rehearsals for the pageant | “The Making of the Constitution,” which will be presented. Wedensday night in Constitution Hall by members of the District Bar Association, will | be started tomorrow night. The pageant is being presented by the attorneys as a tribute to the framers of the Constitution, most of | whom were lawyers. President H.| Winship Wheatley of the District Bar | Association witnessed a similar pres- entation by members of the Los An- geles bar while attending the meeting of the American Bar Association last Summer and brought the idea back to Washington with him. As a result of Mr. Wheatley's en- thusiasm for the pageant, a committee was appointed by the local association and preparations for the presentation were begun in September. The script which will be used is based on that prepared originally by by Robert K. Ryland of the Kansas City, Mo., bar, but has been revised somewhat by members of the local committee in an effort to produce a greater dramatic effect. ‘The pageant consists of four parts depicting four different sessions of the constitutional convention.

Shown in the third episode is a session at the beginning of August when the debates had proceeded for weeks and the patience of a majority In this episode, the convention is on the verge of breaking up because of the seeming impossibility of reconcil- ing the opposing views. The fourth episode deals with the final considera- tion of amendments and the signing of the Constitution.
