tie older girls from the Fairgrounds were
induced to take part.
Through the eWSpaperS. which told of
thc success the pageant had when pro-
tluced iii Nashville last year. by means
nf window cards and hiiboards. and in
many other ways the public was reached
and the result was that before the head
quarters At 1877 u street northwest had
been opened a week the cast was taking
shape and those who learned their parts
rtarlv helTed to coach the late corners.
The big chorus was recruited largely
by personal appeals 10 almost every cho'-
and singing organization III the CITY.
Percy : Foster. the choral leader, was
induced to become musical director OF the
pageant. and night after night he has
stood before the increasing throns until
their voices were able To carry the dim
cult cadences without false note.
Obviously only confusion and chaos
would have resulted If hundreds of nov
ices had been put in the same class at
the start So as the participants were en-
| listed they were divided into groups of
| fifteen or twenty until they became ia
miliar with their parts. The young Wom-
| en- were divided into four general groups
| of vrstal virgins goddesses. wood nymphs
| and muses. The first three of these were
| subdivided into still smaller groups at
| the outset. and II was only last week
! that the larger divisions rehearsed all at
| the same time.
! The various groups rehearsed at differ
| cut times. SO that. while there were re-
! hearsalS in progress almost every after
| noon and evening, none of the individ-
| uals. except the principals found ii nee
/ esSary to attend more than twice a week.
! This system enabled Miss Baker. Mi
| I,ask and Mr.. Foster To give personal at
/ tentiun To each performer and to develop
| their individual qualities

In this connection the comment of
George I.ask OF New V ork. who for the
greater part Of the time has been stage
manager for the coming pageant here,
is of unusual interest
at is true that the relation of stage
manager and PLAYER is different In the
case of an amateur performance, but
there is also another Very important
consideration he said at the end of one
of last weeks rehearsals. Il don care
how small a group Of professionals you
get together. there are some of them
that are in the show business for money
and nothing else. With TINS cast we
