PAGEANT.DRAMA OF

Production,

Simon Bolivar, the Liberator,"
pageant-drama by Barbara King, was
presented in a highly entertaining
manner last night at Roosevelt Audi
torium by the Community Center De-

American Union.
The nine episodes in the pageant
portray colorful and dramatic PAN
Drama of the life of the South Ameri-
can hero Bolivar. admirably played by
John Sikken, is seen first at the
very beginning Of his career, before
the death of his wife and before he
took up the battle for South American
independence, then followed by the
drama in his struggle for the free
dom of his people from the bonds Of
Spain. The pageant tells the story
of the greatness Of Simon Bolivar;
tells you so you actually feel the
mans greatness.
The large cast has mounted the
panorama with the enthusiasm and
imagination with which it must have
been conceived and written. 1t is a
highly effective production and q
completely pleasing one.
Among the other contributors, in
addition to Sikken in the central role,
are Maurice Jarvis and Hester Walker
Beall as the eloquent narrators who
carry the thread of history between
the episodes. The Players Club, the
Arts Club, the lexington Players, the
Southeast Community Players and
the Mcfarland Mems Club take part.
Dancers from the Marion Chace
dance group, the Lisa Gardiner studio
and the Alice Louise Hunter studio
participate in the pageant itself, in
the symbolic postlude which depicts
the freedom of the spirit. Lisa Gar
diner, Elizabeth Beatty, Harold Allen
Long, Mary Olive O'Connell, Philip
McBriarty and Marion Chace di-
rected separate episodes, which were
welded into dramatic unity by Marie
Moore Forrest.
The musical score for the pageant
Is played by the United States Marine
Band Orchestra, conducted by VIII
liam F. Santelmann. The production
will be repeated tonight, at $50, at
