Pageant Presented
This Evening

The pageant, America, Yesterday
and Today" which was postponed
Thursday on account of the rain, will
be presented at the Canon City high
school grounds at s O'Clock this eve
ming. This beautiful, open-air drama
should be seen by all because of the
patriotic, community-welfare lessons II
teaches. II will be given under the aus
pices of the Y NJ. @ A, and will be
benefit performance for that insti-
tuition
More than 200 school children and
other residents of the town and its
surroundings will take part in its de-
lineation and the spectacle it will af-
ford will be well worth while. The
participants in the play will be appro-
priately costumed to represent the
various characters to be depicted. The
program is set to music and will be
appreciated and enjoyed by all pres
ent.
A pageant, such as the one sched-
uled for this evening. has not been en-
acted in Canon City for long time.
and its unique, unusual character will
appeal to all interested in out-of-door
dramatic productions. No prettier Of
more delightful entertainment is cas-
lily imaginable than the educational
pageant, America, Yesterday and To-
day." and it is entitled by its merit to
generous patronage from Canon
City people. Those who are directing
and taking part in it have worked
hard in its preparation, and have
earned by their labors the success
which only large attendance of spec
tators can make possible. The chieve-
ment of a financial triumph is due
them.
There is abundant room about the
school grounds for the parking OF
automobiles during this evenings per
formance.
