others on foot by countless 1ndlan warriors, squaws and other attendants. In the first interlude Manobozho, l the Indian sun god, was portrayed pY Fleetwood Rice and the spirit of pro- gress by Sam F. Clabaugh.
 | The second episode showed the res-
 cue of Mrs. Crawley from the hands of the Creek Indians by Handy Wal ker noted trapper and scout, Tn le1z. Mrs. Jack Meredith took the part of Mrs. Crawley and Adlai s. Grove played the part of Tandy Walker. The his torical correctness of this incident
 which occurred only short time before Tuscaloosa was settled added to the interest in it's presentation.
 The third episode showed the settling of Tuscaloosa by white men in 1916, in celebration of which event the centennial was held. Washington Moody took the

 cile DeVere was Sally Scott and Miss

 |, One of the most realistic and effec- ] tive scenes during the entire pageant was the fourth episode. in which the In- dian chief, Apothleoholo appeared before | the session of the legislature of Ala
 bama in 1885, at Tuscaloosa. Judge Henry B. Foster acted as speaker of
 the house, and his acting added much | to the realism of the event. No finer 1 thing occurred during the entire perform
 ance than the address made by Charles 1 c. Greer as Chief Apothleoholo. With 1 a rich, mellow, bass voice, which car ried clearly over the vast arena, his | speech was a literary gem, filled with l pathos and marked by wonderful ora torical power. A number of prominent
 Tuscaloosa lawyers acted as members
 of the legislature.
 BACK TO WAR DAYS
 But it remained for episode five to
 make the spectactors forget that they
 were merely witnessing a play, and feel
 as if they were really living in the stirring times which marked the out break of the Civil war. The departure
 of the Warrior Guards, one of the most ! famous military companies of the Con- federacy. under command of Capt. Rob- ert B. Rodes, who was destined to be- come one of the great generals of the
 south, and win lasting fame by his
 bravery and death at the battle of Get tysburg, where he was right-hand man for the Immortal Lee, was reproduced with such historical truth, that some of the old men present, some who had an swered the call and who left with the Guards. were made to feel as if they were starting out as they did more than half a century ago. The presentation or the flag to the soldiers was made by Judge w. W. Brandon, and his address
 was a model of the patriotic and fervid
 oratory which marked the beginning or
 the war. Miss Hortense Rodes, who presented the flag, was the granddaugh- ter of Captain Rodes who accepted 1t in 1861, and several of the participants
 In the scene were members of the com
 pany which went out from Tuscaloosa under Captain Rodes.
 The sixth episode was another scene
 true to history, and it portrayed an actual occurrence during the last days of the war. Miss Emily Leach, who
 took the part of the bride in "The h. terrupted Wedding" bore the same name and was a descendant of the bride whose
 husband was so ruthlessly snatched away from her by the Yankee soldiers during the war. Several other participants In the scene were relatives of those who actually took part in the wedding more than half a century ago. The light on the bridge between the Yankee raiders and the cadets of the University was

Their splendid, resonant. clear and ring ing voices, together with their striking appearance, added much to this part or the presentation. The dancing of Jack Cosine, who represented the Black War rior River, was one of the striking fea- lures of the evening, and few could be- lieve that he was really student or the university and not professional actor Mrs. Sam F. Clabaugh was Edu-
 cation, Miss Lula Finn took the role or Coal and Fire Mrs. E. l.. Clarkson was Limestone, Miss Beryl Rogers was Clay, Miss Grace Harrison was Undiscovereo Minerals, and Harry J.
