PAGEANT FACTS

DO you know that 5000 Virginia ms
nave been laboring for months 20
give to the world a great spectacle
and to dramatiZc the greatest events
of civilization?
Do you know that some OF the neo-
pie OF Richmond have not seen this
great spectacle? That is their irrn
parable loss.
What about the school children ?
Are the school authorities awake to
the educational values to the pupils
OF one night at this great drama?
The pageant may become n yearly
feature. but there remains but ono
night OF this panorama OF Virginia
history. II may never be done again
at IT is now being produced.
DO not get the impression that the
crowd Is too great to be comfortable.
or that there are not sufficient seats
to go around. The pageant manage
ment has had broad enough vision
to provide seats for all.
II you do not see this pageant YOU
nave lost an opportunity that will
never occur again. Other pageants
may be produced, but this is the
great one having to do with the be :
ginning Of civilization on this con-
tinent.
The parades are not the pageant.
1t is only glimpse OF the great
drama now being enacted to COM
memorate Virginia History.
Twenty Thousand people held SPELL
bound for three hours. so quiet that
the voice of yoang girl playing
Pocahontas can be heard clearly at
the entrance gate, is in Itself sight
worth seeing.
Ex-Governor Henry C. Stuart made
the statement at the Westmoreland
Club that the organization of the
pageant at Westbrook would dc
credit to any city in the United
States.
Experts who have seen the light
ing and mechanical effect of these
stage settings have pronounced them
equal to, II nc. the best. that have
ever been produced. and 1t Is ex-
ceedingly doubtful il any production
has ever been put on the stage either
indoor or outdoor with such clock
| like procedure. such little loss OF
time and such complete absence OF
confusion. The lighting effects. II
there was no drama, is worth the
price OF admission. The allegorlca
! figure of death, with all the change.
OF tho rainbow. now somber. now
glorifed, is probably as beautiful 6
spectacle as has ever been seen.

BANKERS ADJOURN To
AWAIT GERMAN REPLY
Will Not Consider Billion.
Dollar Loan Pending Repa-
rations' Answer.
by Associated Press. I

PARIS. May 26.--The committee Of
international bankers in session here
this evening served notice on Ger
many that further consideration Of
bi!!ion-do!lar loan 10 tho German
government is virtually out OF the
question until Germany accepts in
fun the conditions of the ultimatum
Of the reparations commission which
expires May 81, and also gives ade-
Guate guarantees that the imitation OF
Germany's currency will be stopped
Immediately. The committee then
decided to adjourn until May 81 TO
await the decision of Germany
The conclusion of the bankers was
arrived at during their meeting this
afternoon. which was attended by
Carl Bergman as representative of
Germany. Bergman imme dately
telcphoned the decision of the bank
ers TO Berlin.
In reparation circles tonight the
view was advanced that the action OF
the fnanci"rs probably would re-
suit In complete acceptance by Ger
many OF all their conditions 1t was
further stated that acQuiescence by
Germany in the reparations commits
sion's conditions probably would be
productive of loan OF more than
81. 900 900, since the bankers have
determined that large loan could
be arranged under those circum-
stances.
The hnanciers completed their in
qu!ry into the state OF Germany's A.
nance at this afternoons session, and
IL was explained that they had
reached point where Germany
guarantee must be forthcoming be-
fore the committee could discuss the
details OF loan. the security for 1t
and many other points.
The fact that the international
bankers have bccn able to see good
possibilities for a loan. provided Ger
many subscribed to certain condi-
tons. is regarded very optimistically
in reparations quarters. where il was
pointed out tonight that the German
government could hardly afford TO do
otherwise than agree.
