oNeHeiy anu pHolOSFapny are excel lent. It is play well worth seeing. dlans, Citizens, Maidens, had offered their allegiance to Libery, ex-Governor ONeal made an appropriate address, and the ~- ening closed with the raising ot the Stars and Stripes and the singing of the national hymn
 Much of the success of the pageant was due to the beautiful lightning which was artistically accomplished by Mir w. M. Jones-Williams, who took entire charge of this end of the production. The vari-coored lights thrown on the spectacle made of the scene a veritable fairyland
 The scostumins was gorgeous and har- monious and was designed and carried out under the supervision of Miss Mamie Meroney and Miss Rosa Walker of the Alabama Girls Technical institute The dancing was exquisitely graceful and the dancing groups were especially trained for the pageant by Miss Re becca Funk.
 The music for episode two was de- lightfully rendered by the Montevallo orchestra, under the direction of Profes- sor Calkins.
 PROLOGUE BY MISS. GRIMBALL
 The four parts of the pageant were linked together by bea autiful lines com posed and read by Miss Grimball The Prologue, which gave the theme, was especially impressive, and is as follows: Should you ask me whence this story, Whence these legends and traditions? l should answer, I should tell you From the praries and the meadows From the waters of the southland, From the birds nests of the forest, From the wales of Alabama
 Where the spirit reigns forever Of chieftain great and mighty, Chieftain of the warlike Chickasaws; Full of pride they, full of vigor, Never conquered in all history. So they tell us in the legends You shall know how this great chieftain In this land of rippling water, Gave his spirit to it's children With it's heritabe of courage, Guiding star to all achievement Leading onward through the ages Ever upward never beaten
 And he lived the brave old Indian In the kingdom of the sunshine, Met undaunted fierce invader, Strange white faces, willy trader; Gladly gave or swiftly slew, Died unconquere6 as in living
 w ent Into the great hereafter. But his spirit lives forever, Roams at will the hills and wales Of his loved Alabama.
 And I think in times of danger, Times of stress that try mems souls, He comes back in all his splendor, Calls to us to meet our foes. Thunders out his spirit warning, Calls the watchword to his children. o, my land of rippling water, Land of plenty, land of sunshine, Once again your homes are threatened, Evil spirits gather near you,
 At your doors fierce foemen clamor, Strike them swiftly, strike them surely, Let all cry in future ages, o, ye children of my spirit When they speak of you and yours
 Ala abama-Still Unconquered
