In one car was an If-year-old boy who has never walked. With him was his mother, who for eight years has been paralyzed. Another woman has been paralyzed for 11 years. There was « party of 11 from the county hospital, with four attendanis. Nine of the 11 can- not walk.

The scene that reached deepest, tat moved the shut-ins most, perhaps, was the throng of crip- ple and afflicted waiting the ar- rival of Jesus to be healed of their hurts. As the third epixode opened, and the halt and maimed came in steady procession before Jerusalem's gates, each shutin was reliving his own experience, for most of them had walked close to the edge of the grave himself—some were yet not far away. eee The gathering of the shnutdn arty was replete with incidents of unselfishness and courage. There was one woman who did not think she could go. She had not been out of bed for year Daily she read accounts of the pa geant, and longed more than any thing else to view and hear it for he mmelf. The family with whom she lives are not rich, They have no car And no money to spend on pa geants. So this woman, thinking only of the happiness of others. bought tickets for all but herself. If only she had an auto— And then, at the last mo- ment, atmast, a neighbor told her what The Star and Dr. Loope were doing for the shut- ins, Doubting that she could be so fortunate as to be in- cluded, she called Dr. Loope— and that house was unpeopled last night! Two there were who did not go to the pageant, One, a woman of 94, decided that she could not risk the journey, The other is a man iii with sleeping sickness. No one could be found who would venture to come in contact with the dinease. One man was carried down two fights of stairs and back up again by his escort. A young man from Providence hospital was out for the first time in four years. And so {t went. In the hearts of the shutins who saw “The Way tarer” last night its gripping story will never die. Robert Day, who played the Way farer's role at Wednesday evening's performance of the huge pageant, received inspiration from the pres: ence of The Star's party of Shut ins, parked at the rim of the stad. jum, he declared in the following letter to The Star, received today: “I winb to sound » note of praise to the thoughtfulness of your management in making it possible for the unfortunate ‘Shutins’ to see and hear The Waytarer’ The thought of their presence was to me an in- spiration. “The presentation of this sa- cred pageant has brought out many kindnewses in thought and action, but this seems tho grandest, noblest of them all.” More Than 20,000 See “The Wayfarer‘ More than 20,000 persons thronged thru the gates of the University of Washington Stadium Wednesday night to see “The Wayfarer.” It was the largest audience since the opening of the production, Practically every available seat around the great arena was filled It was described as “a capacity house” by Darwin Meisnest, assist- ant manager of “The Wayfarer,” who has charge of the tickets. ‘The weather was perfect, and the show even better than the high standard of previous evenings.
