To Contain More Action Than
Any Political Convention '''
Ever Hoped to Hold
TO BE BIGGEST SINGLE y
FEATURE OF FAIR HERE
History of Northern Minnesota
to Be Re.Enacted in Serial >
Form Three Evenings

Since BemldJl and the entire sur
rounding country is to be given an
exceptional opportunity to see a
real pageant in the true sense Of the
word, it is deemed essential that a
brief outline Of what pageant
means will serve to somewhat define
the nature Of the entertainment. So
far, no particular persons have ex-
pressed their ignorance Of what
pageant is, but nevertheless it is
not doubted but that large number
are not fully acquainted with just
what it might be. It is not modern
political convention by any means
for there will be much enthusiasm
and the affair will be attended by
all parties. &c.,. ......... ..
The pageant is first Of all a
gigantic drama acted in pantomine
with a continuous musical accom-
paniment played by the band. The
incidents from the play are taken
from among the important and dra-
matte real life happenings Of the
locality, in: this case the locality be-
ing Northern Minnesota, a consid-
cradle territory. These incidents be-
gin with the legends Of prehistoric
times as with the ancient, Indian
legends which afford wonderful
material for DEMONSTRATION, then
stirring events Of the early settle
mcnt of the community, and the
salient features of later develop
ment are dramatized and acted. ,r
That ssstruth it, stranger than fic-
ton" is proved BY the newspapers
of every days issue-the widest
fiction can not compare with the
wild facts Of real life in their dra-
matte power and so the life story
of community becomes the most
gripping drama. Its variety and
scope of material make it also a
mammoth spectacle, for it takes
hundreds of people X. to play it, it
takes setting of the wilderness, the
settlement, and the city vehicles
and animals, the paraphernalia Of
the primitive savage, the pioneer
and of the present times, and cos
tunes and properties of history.
The spectacle takes place in the
evenings under the canopy Of the
open sky on the ground beyond the
race track and I'M front Of the grand
stand at the Northern Minnesota
Fair grounds, Bemidji. A high foil
age screen will circle: the ground
stage and pines and shrubs will be
dotted over the grounds, giving the
place the appearance Of an unbrok-
en- wilderness. Brilliant lights will
illuminate the great space: where
the hundreds of actors play out the
wonderful drama. Of the North.
Fairylike color effects will be gained
in the scenes where. the dancers ap-
pear. No clear conception Of the
pageant can be gained through word
the public in general must see it to
comprehend it. .~'',. ''' .-.. -
This historic pageant will be pre-
scented during the Northern Mime
sofa Fair on three evenings, Aug
ust 16, II and 18. 1t will be played
in serial form, each evenings pro-
gram being different. In this way
it is expected that everyone will at
tend throughout the three evenings
in order to take advantage of the
entire mammoth :. production. -
