son magic can brew strong quick
potion?"
AS if in answer to his plea, there
enters the Pied Piper, strange
figure dressed in a long coat half
of yellow, half of red.
eff | can rid your town of rats,
will you give me thousand guild
ers?" asks the Piper.
Zone? Fifty-thousand!" cries the
Mayor.
At this the Piper plays enchant-
ing music and charms the vermin
all away from Hamelin, to their
death in the River Weser. When
he returns, however, the Mayor re-
fuses him the promised payment,
on the grounds that he is a sorcerer.
In revenge the Piper puts his pipe
to his lips and begins soft and
curious strain which draws about
him all the children Of Hamelin.
They follow him in happy throng
through a portal in the mountain
side Before their parents realize
what has happened all the children
are gone-all, that is, except a little
lame boy who could not dance fast
enough and found the mountain
door shut when he reached it.
According to Browning, the chill
dren never see their parents again.
In the pageant, however, the Pied
Piper leads his band of boys and
girls to Fairyland, the second
scene. When the curtain rises it is
break. Of day in Fairyland, and flow
ers are lying stretched upon the
green sward, asleep. There are
groups of wild roses, peoples,
clover, morning glories, snow drops
and sweet peas, and amongst them
are several butterflies. During a
dance by "Sunrise" the flowers
awaken, and the land is flooded
with light at the entrance of the
Piper and the children from Hame-
lin. In chorus the children sing:
ooh, this a land, a joyous land,
Where song-birds fit the live
long day
By 1impid stream and hower-decked
strand,
Kissed by the suns eternal ray.
Here all things don a fairer hue,
We're free from fear or rats and
mice,
All memory ends, we've nothing to

The Pied Piper
of Hamlin
By Sicily Spensley.

lSllu q wy VIM I'coN s'iiS'
Pied Piper of Hamelin, - which will
be presented by 600 children and
about 40 adults near the rose gar
dens in Lyndale park at Sis
o'clock Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, August 10 and 20, under
direction of the Board of Park
Commissioners.
This pageant is expected to be
the most pretentious production
ever attempted by this city's park
Fairgrounds and to exceed in beau
ty and interest the Mother Goose
pageant staged at Lyndale park by
the park board a year ago.
Seven stories beloved to child
hood have been woven into the
pageant's theme by Mrs. Julia A.
Beckmann, the scenario writer and
director. 1t is based primarily
upon Robert Browning's poem,
"The Pied Piper of Hamelin," but
that plot is revamped to make room
for a galaxy of fairy folk that are
a delightful accompaniment of pa
geantry. Through it all is whim
sical vein Of realism and phantasy.
The curtain rises upon a busy
market place scene in the village OF
Hamelin, showing rats--big, gray
rats formed by boys and girls in
appropriate misunderstanding gen
eral disturbance among the village
folk. AS Browning said of the rats:
'"They fought the dogs and killed
the cats,
And bit the babies in their era
/ dies,
And ate the cheeses out of the watts,
! And licked the soup from the
cooks own ladies',
Split open the kegs of salted sprats,
sMade nests inside mems Sunday
hats,
And even spoiled the women's
chats,
/ By drowning their speaking
With shrieking and squeaking
In fifty different sharps and flats"
The men, women and children in
the village street appeal to the
Mayor of Hamelin to rid them from
the terrible plague of rats. He re-
plies that he and the aldermen
have racked their brains to find
"some clever stratagem to bind
these ravaging thieves, some snare
