"No entertainment Of this kind said
Mrs. William Astor Chanler, who is IN
charge Of the performance, would De
complete without the Indians. II is our
purpose in giving this entertainment to
have children tell to other children the
wonderful story CT our country. We
want to show them in living form the
characters so closely linked with our
nations destiny in the days when our
freedom and independence were won.
eve want every child that possibly
can to see these scenes and hear the
story of the Revolutionary days. 10
this end we have arranged that there
shall be no prohibitive prices; the
seats will range from So to so cents.
We want the children to meet these
wonderful Americans of history and
the equally wonderful friends from
France who crossed the sea with men
and ships and gold to help US:
Mrs. Chanler believes that the Indian
children will be no less glad to LOOK
| back upon their efforts in behalf OF the
French soldiers than the white children
participating in the performance.
