Episode V took place In 1923 and
illustrated tho return of RCger de
Newburgh from the Holy Land and
the raising oi ST. Mary's 20 the
dignity of a collegiate church.
Episode VI was based on scenes
from Marlowe's Edward H." de-
picting the dramatic trial and con-
demnation of Piers Gayeston.
In episode MI, 1864, Shakespeare
was drawn upon for tho history of
the King Maker. and in episode
VIII, 1916, the charters of Henry
VIII were granted 10 the town and
school, the conclusion of this scene
being distinguished by a Latin
Carmen" specially composed by
the head master of Warwick School
TO be sung by the scholars.
The proclamation of Lady Jane
Grey as Queen took place in cpl
sode TX, and in episode Y. 1872, the
longest of the scenes, was devoted
10 characteristic features of local
government and the state visit TO
Warwick of Queen Elizabeth and
Robert Dudley, Earl OF Leicester.
while Shakespeare was ingeniously
introduced as a boy and son of the
bailiH of Standardization.
In episode N, \. d. 1894, the
great fire of Warwick was illustrat-
ed. and William III introduced.
These eleven pictures sent the
history of Warwick moving before
the eyes of the spectator in chang
ing panorama.

St0rn ToLd in Som

To keep the audience at all times
in touch with the progress of the
action a chorus of fifty told the
story of the various episodes in
song, and bridged over the intervals
with explanation.
But for the fact that the pageant
was purely the work of amateurs.
il would have been impossible. As
a financial proposition it would
have been out of question, for the
pay of the actors or the cost of the
costumes alone would have amount
ed 20 more than the entire receipts.
In order To rehearse his great
army of performers. Mr.. Parker
had 10 use a megaphone, an ear
trumpet, and take his place in a
lofty stand built specially for the
purpose.
The larger part of the work of
preparing for the spectacle was
done at what was for the time
The Washington times., 1906-07-08
Lasted One Week

The big spectacle lasted a week,
beginning Monday, July ?, and
ending yesterday. It was held on
the banks of the charming Avon,
under the shadow of Ethelfelda's
mound, on a beautiful green sward,
as smooth and soft as a carpet,
seven acres in area.
Commanding the space where the
1000 performers gave the various
episodes was a covered grand
stand with a seating capacity Of
400. all of which seats were sub
scribed AT high prices, many of
them weeks before the opening
day. Then there was further space
on the green and on the edge of
the forest for many thousand
more. Nearly every prominent per
son in the nobility made the
journey to Warwick for the
pageant
Not only did the noble actresses
and actors volunteer their services,
but all of them also furnished their
own costumes, the preparation of
which kept seamstrcsses for miles
around busy for months. To insure
historical accuracy, Mr.. Parker
personally supervised the making
of the costumes.
The pageant covered the main
episodes in the goodyear history
of Warwick 1t was divided into
eleven episodes, each recalling
some important event.
First was depicted the dawn of
the Christian ear in y. ID. 40. Then
came the episode illustrating the
origin of the Bear and Ragged
Staff and the founding Of the See
of Warwick

Of Queen Elizabeth and she be-

the enthusiasm of the audience
broke all bounds.
IN order 10 handle the great num-
Der of performers it was necessary
10 place them in d:5erent parts Of
the woods while waiting for their
entrances.
Mr.. Parker had communication
with each group by telephone, and
at the right instant he ordered the
appearance Cf Edward II with all
bis lords, the triumphal procession
of Leicester and his retinue down
the central aisle, and the wonder
fu! entrance OF Elizabeth.
All passed of with as much
swiftness and certainty as though
the performance had been con-
ddcted in a theater.
There were no delays and one
picture after another passed be-
fore the audience in ravishing bril-
liancy.

- INCE the days when King
Francis welcomed King
Henry of England with
the famous Field of the
Cloth of Gold" the Old
World has seen no such pageant as
that which came to an end yester-
day at Warwick Castle, England.
There have been more elaborate
military displays or occasions
where some political leader or
member of the royal family was
welcomed with great display, but
as g show piece purely and simply,
as a dramatic performance IN the
open air, whose sole purpose was
TO amuse. England yields the palm
10 the wonderful spectacle that has
just been held in commemoration
OF the thousandth anniversary Of
the conquest Of Mercis and the
overthrow OF Paganism by Ethel
Zelda IN 0O6.
More than 1000 persons, under
the direction Of Louis n. Parker,
playwright and poet, took part in
the spectacle, and all were distin-
guished and many titled amateurs.
Not one shilling was paid in salary
20 those who played the various
roles, the royalty and flower of
most aristocratic society Of Eng
land delighting In a chance to ap-
pear in character as a means of
helping the project 10 a success.
Lord and Lady Willoughby de
Eresby took Shakespearean roles.
Lord Yarmouth played the part of
leicester, and the Countess Of
Warwick deemed il not below her
dignity to take a part. Originally
she had been cast for the role OF
Queen Elizabeth, but gave way to
Mrs. Helen Batchelor, wife of a
local proprietor of landed estates,
and Il woman of singularly ideal
appearance for the Virgin Queen.
Lady Heath had Shakespearean
role and Ralph Goodenough and
Lady Victoria de Trafford had seats
in the ETzabethan coach with Lady
Heath and others.

torical accuracy and picturesque
ness.
The most notable episode Of the
pageant was the one that pictured
the visit of Queen Elizabeth TO
Warwick. She was shown descend
ing the Avon in 1t golden barge.
This barge was sixty feet long,
and was manned by sixteen oars
men. Above the Queen was raised
canopy, and at the gorgeously
marked prov were the Royal Arms
and the Tudor Rose, three great

OVER SEA HABIT.
Difference on This Side the Water.

The persistent effect upon the heart of caffeine in coffee cannot but re- suit in the gravest conditions in time.
 Each attack of the drug Cand tha : means each cup of coffee) weakens the organ a little more. and the end is al- most a matter of mathematical de- monstratiOn. A lady writes from a western state:
 "I am of German descent and it was natural that I should learn at a very early age to drink coffee. Until was 23 years old I drank scarcely anything else at my meals.
 "A few years ago I began to be af- fected by a steadily increasing ner- vousness, which eventually developed into distressing heart trouble that made me very weak and miserable Then, some three years ago, was add ed asthma in its worst form. My suf- ferings from these things can be bet ter imagined than described.
 During all this time my husband realized more fully than did that cof- fee was injurious to me, and made every effort to make me stop.
 Finally 1t was decided a few months ago, to quit the use of coffee absolutely. and to adopt Postum Food Coffee as our hot table drink I had but little idea that it would help me, but consented to try it to please my husband. l prepared it very carefully, exactly according to directions. and was delighted with it's delicious flavor and refreshing qualities.
 Just so soon as the poison from the coffee had time to get out of my system the nutritive properties of the Postum began to build me up, and I am now fully recovered from all my nervousness. heart trouble and asthma. l gladly acknowledge that now, for the first time in years. I enjoy perfect health, and that 1 owe it all to Pos tum." Name given by Postum CO, Battle Creek, Mich.
 There's a reason. Read the little book. "The Road to Melville" in pkgs.
 Postum Food Coffee contains no drugs of any description whatsoever.
