 IF you haven't little pageant in your
 home town these days you are terribly old-fashioned and out-of-date, and as Birmingham is never that, here's to The Masque of Pandora" which will be pre- sented at Capitol park Thursday and Friday evenings for charity under the able dictatorship of Miss Cora Belle Morse. and sponsored by the Jefferson county chapters, Order of the Eastern Star.
 As if that wasn't enough, and yet it isn't, because there are lots and lots of people who want to know something about the attractive young artist who is directing the pageant, and how pageants are made and staged.
 In the first place, Miss Morse is just tiny little slip of girl-awfully young and awfully pretty-and terribly clever and terribly energetic-and she is strictly business from the crown of her pretty Brown-haired head to the tips of her nice little, well shod toes, and when she works she works all over and when she plays-well, that's different story, . as MT. Kipling would say.
 Anybody who thinks it is easy to go into a brand new town and take a hun dred people into training, none of whom you have ever laid your eyes on before, and teach them to dance. to pose, to do the dramatic work of a pageant and to group the whole into beautiful ensem- ble, has another guess coming to them, for it isn't It's just about one Of the most difficult things imaginable.
 Miss Morse does all this with accuracy and deftness because she is accustomed to it in the first place, and because she Is efficient in the second place, or vice versa.
 No detail has been left unattended to lp "The Masque of Pandora, which is Miss Morses own adaptation of the beau- tiful Longfellow legend.
 She has created such enthusiasm and interest among the hundred or more peo- pie who will takee part in the pageant that men who haven't opened volume

If You Haven't Little Pageant In Your Town These Days You Are Terribly Old Fashioned And Out-of-Date, And Birmingham Is Never That
 So Here's to "The Masque of Pandora

of Longfellow in years and years since their salad days, in fact, and women who have forgotten whether Byron or Poe or Longfellow wrote "Hiawatha :" or whether indeed it ever was written and, oh dear mel the intellectual status which the presentation of the pageant has inspired in Birmingham is well worth all that Miss Morse could possibly wish for.
 It makes you sort of think of the story of the boy who was talking to his best girl" and he asked her which she liked the best, Longfellow or Keats, and she quietly observed T adore Long
 fellow, but what are Keats?"
 You see, I really like teaching" Miss Morse said, her big brown eyes luminous
 with enthusiasm about her work. "So
 many people think it is drudgery, but
 I look on it just the other day I'd so much rather teach than be an actress.
 The stage has no lure for me, personally; like to coach others for the lime light.
 si have enjoyed the most delightful ad- vantages in regard to my physical and dramatic work" Miss Morse continued. "I graduated from the New England Con- kservatory of Music in dramatic work and ther took up physical work at Columbia. followed dramatic work there, too, and my aesthetic dancing has been done un- der the most renowned teachers of the age.
 'When I finished school I wanted so much to do pageantry,' Miss Morse con-
 tinued, inspired by Percy Mackaye' s first wonderful pageant, and l was very lucky to be able to make connections so
 that l might conduct my work all through the east and south. The Masque of Pandora appealed to me with all or It's mystical symbolism and beauty, so rewrote 1t, adapting it to modern needs The music, which is feature
 of the pageant, is really beautiful and the whole thing is wonderfully artistic and attractive

 Miss Morse said, Gin a number Of com munities and one of the most successful of the presentations was over at Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga, where 1 had mar velous talent to choose from, drawing many professionals from the army. The leading part was taken by professional opera singer who is spending the sum mer in the south and the Eighth held artillery band furnished the music, so you can readily imagine what beautlfui thing the pageant was.
 "Birmingham is just brimful Of talent, Miss Morse said, and l have found a tremendously fine spirit of cooperation in my work here Everybody who IS taking part is deeply interested and no amount of work is considered too exact ing. I start with rehearsals in the morn ing at 8 o'clock and often it IS Il and l2 o'clock in the evening before we finish.
