MANY VIEW MODEL
Of TRAIL MEMORIAL

Visions of a long, long trail, chok-
ing dust and restless cattle, the night
attack and stampede, crowded the
memories OF the men who made early
Texas history as they viewed the
model of the statue of the Old Trail
Drivers. exhibited at Gutzon Borg
lum's studio, Friday afternoon and
night.
All who saw the model Joined in
praises of its fidelity to type of men,
horses and cattle: its action and com
plete symmetry rs an integral part of
the whole. In fancy one could almost
hear the "thud, thud, thud," Of count
ltss hoofs: the straining creak of
leather; the cries of the drive riders
and the clash of horns, and see again
the weather beaten faces, taut, tense
muscles and steady eyes. that gazed
often into the wide, OPEN spaces, grave
with responsibility.
Mr.. and Mrs. Borglum, assisted by
officials of the Old Trail Drivers as
ISOLATION and invited guests, were
hosts to the members of the associa-
ton and the public who called. Pho
neers aud cattle men from many points
in Texas came to view the model oil
the statue that is TO be erected to the
memory of the early trail drivers, at
San Antonio.
Jesse d. Perkins and J. f. Laid
ley, cowboys who posed as models TO
Mr.. Borglum, were in the receiving
line, as were Henry Wedemeyer and
Allen Giles. student sculptors, who
assisted Mr.. Borglum.

CHILDREN GIVE
CHRISTMAS
PAGEANT
Los Pastores'. Witnessed
by Large Crowd at
Liberty Theater.

Before an audience that comfort
ably filled the Liberty Theatcr, Fort
Sam Houston, "Los Pastores," the
annual nativity play of San Antonio,
was presented by children of the
junior public high schools Of the city
Friday night. The play. or properly
speaking, pageant, is the story of the
shepherds and the ma gil. or kings OF
the East. following the Star of Beth
lehem and the finding of the infant
Jesus in the manger. It's dramatiza-
ton for presentation by children, was
the work of Mrs. Esther p. Carvajal.
director Of foreign Languages in the
public schools.
The opening scene Of the pageant
was a professional of altar boys and
girls, singing. "Hark, the Herald
Angels Sing" as they marched
across the stage, formed a cross. The
next scene disclosed the three kings
of the East in the desert. Suddenly,
as they conversed, a star shone in the
East and they hailed it as the sign
for whose appearance men long have
waited. The scene ended as they
arise and follow the star.
VISION OF MARY.
Mary, the espoused wife of Joseph,
was next seen in garden at Nazar-
eth, praying. While at prayer an
angel appeared and foretold the birth
of Jesus. AS the light faded into the
evenings dusk the angel disappeared.
Dawn. breaking over the hills of
Bethlehem, disclosed the shepherds
with their flocks, one standing guard
over the sleeping men and sheep. A
great radiance dimmed the rising sun
and an angel and the heavenly host
appear singing GLORY to God in the
Highest" The angel announced the
birth of the Christ. AS the angels
assembled the shepherds started their
journey to Bethlehem.
Satan, learning of the birth Of the
Christ and the shepherds journey, de-
termined to overthrow good with evil.
He called his devils and gave them
instructions. They then danced in
glee. Satan. disguised as a traveller,
joined the shepherds in their journey.
AS they neared Bethlehem the party
met hermit. SATAN, ueSlTOuS VI
learning if the Christ has in reality
come to earth, questioned the hermit.
The hermit, suspicious, evaded his
questions. A quarrel ensued and Sa-
tan attacked the hermit. st. Michael,
defender of the Truth, then came on
the scene, battled with Satan and slew
him. The Shepherds continued their
journey.
SPECIAL MUSIC.
The curtain next rose on the holy
family in the stable at Bethlehem.
The shepherds entered and knelt be-
fore the manger where the infant
Jesus was Graded. While adorinS
the infant Jesus the three kings Gu
tered, with attendants bearing gifts,
and pay their alteration to the Christ.
Angels and cherubim appeared and all
joined in singing "Come All Ye Faith
full" as the curtain slowly fell. ..
Special music, adapted to each
scene. was rendered by the high
schools symphony orchestra, under the
direction of Otto Zoeller. Vocal solos
by Mrs. Dorothy Claussen and Mrs.
Paul Rochs, trios by Francis de Bur
gas, David Ormcsher and Rev. f. A.
