Never in the history of Aiken County hs there been attempted! a theatrical production of such size and grandeur. Never has there been arrangements made for the accommodation of such large audi ences. Never have so many of the citizens of Aiken and surrounding towns worked together to put on a community- enterprise. Facts and figures are hardly suffi cient in describing the spectacular show which under professional direc tion has been whipped into shape. If one could visualize a beautiful stage setting more than 140 feet wide, brilliantly illuminated with special flood lighting, bordered in on one side by the Court of Honor in which Aiken’s Centennial Queen, Miss Co lumbia, the Queen’s Pages and at tendants, and the 48 States will be seated, and on the other side by the band which will play the music which accompanies the Pageant as the vari ous scenes are presented, it would still be insufficient. It is -necessary to picture also the succession of gaity costumed Indians, Early Settlers; Creation Dancers, Revolutionary Sol diers, State Officials, Colonial Men and Ladies, the Sporting People of the Gay Nineties, the World War Peo ple, and the Nationality Groups that will present the various Episodes that make up the. Pageant. A cast of 514 people will handle the various roles. A choir of 35 voices, and a band of fifteen men, will pre sent th^ musical numbers. A corps of workers will be busily engaged behind the scenes seeing to it thgt the cover ed wagons, old spring wagons and carriages, riding horses, Indians’ Drags and Wigwams and various scenic effects are ready for use at the proper time. Others will be oversee ing the distribution of guns, Indian weapons, household utensils of the early setters, and the hundreds of ar ticles that have a place in the Page ant. Every detail down ta the crate of chickens and the cow brought in by the settlers must be ready for action at the (proper minute. Another crew of men will be taking care of the loud speaking system which has been in stalled to carry the speaking lines and music to the audience. A review of the official program of the Pagenat shows that the Pageant will open with the entrance of “Miss '****>». Aiken,” Queen of the Centennial, ac companied by her Honor Guardi and Color Bearers, a task assigned to 14 Boy Scouts in Uniform. She will also have with her eight young ladies as attendants, and her two Pages. Following her address of welcome to the Audience, Miss Columbia will en ter w-ith her Color Bearers and her 48 States. Following the ackpowl- edgement of her welcome by Miss Aiken, all march through an avenue of flags formed by the Boy Scouts and take their places in the Court of Honor. Esther Time .next appears and acts as the announcer to bring in the pic turesque scenes which relate to Aiken’s history. Symbolically rep resenting the beginning of Time, 34 Creation, Land, Sky and Flower girls present a ballet dance. The Indians setting up their vil lage, the giving Up of the land by treaty, ancL^Ueremcniat. Medicipe Dance"Tnake r Tip-ihe-next Episode."— The Revolutionary Soldiers, the Whigs and the Tories next present a scene picturing the intense feeling that caused one 'of Aiken’s ‘roads to be called the “Tory Trail.” This is followed by ihe—a rv ival of a 'large group of early settlers for a brief stop at the log cabin, of William Moseley.- The scene reaches its cli max when the Settlers enjoy them selves by dancing the “Virginia Reel.” Then the Railroad scene,—picturing the meeting at Charleston when it was derided to build the road, follow ed by other scenes which lead to-the wedding,.of Miss Harrietta Williams andrA.-A. Dexter, in which the grace ful minuet is danced by the Colonial Ladies and Men. Next come the scenes portraying the activities which happened one hundred years ago when Aiken ■was incorporated as a Town. In, this scene, not only do the whites celebrate the event, but the colored people join. Thirty-seven pupils of the Schofield Norman and Indtastrial School will present negro spirituals and a * “Cot ton Pickin’ Dance.” Following this comes the scene the iTTandpoiift of colorful costuming and dancing will be the mest spectacu lar scene of all. It presents the dances of various nations, and builds up to a flnale in which the entire cast will appear on the stage. CeFtainly etfery resident interested in the growth -and development of Aiken County, and this general section, and every one interested in witnessing the county’s greatest spectacle, should be a member of the audience on one of the two nights,—either Friday or Saturday. In the event of rain caus ing postponement of either, perform ance, an additional performance will be staged next Monday evening,—and all performances will start at 8:15 o’ clock. Mr. and Mrs. E. V.
