WITH PARK MOTIF
History Of Playground Is
Theme Of Pageant
August 7,8

A coterie of no less than 100
Red Lodge persons are practicing
daily in anticipation of "The Story
of Yellowstone Park" a pageant to
be presented in the wilds of the
Beartooths on August 7th and 9Th.
Maurice Johnson, Helena is di-
rector of the WPA presentation
which is based on a six-episode
play written by Walter Taylor,
formerly of Red Lodge and now
supervisor of recreation of the
WPA at Butte. Mr.. Johnson is
in charge of WPA activities, divi-
sion of recreation, here.
The story of the pageant is re-
lated by the "old man of the noun
tains" who figures prominently in
the trend of events which take
place 31a miles west of here along
the Camp Senia road. A public
address system will be planted in
a tree stump to facilitate speech
making, and the throngs expected
will be parked along the north of
the road.
The character of "The Old Man
of the Mountains" is to be played
by H. Melville Sayre, professor Of
archaeology at the Montana School
of Mines at Butte, who has been
rehearsing with the players.
The entire history of the Park
will be portrayed in the pageant,
MIR. johnson states.
"The saga of old Yellowstone is
a long one-a story encompassing
millions of years." says the old
man of the mountains as the story
unfolds.
Y Episode one pictures life in the
park in prehistoric tinnes-the age
of cave men. Cave men busily
draw pictures and designs on skins
as others chip arrowheads and
mend fish nets.
Episode two depicts supersti-
tions evidenced by Indians in the
pcAh aAS1AG uhc1Rhd VI CIlS OuSSp"
scatter tribe. A dance features
this episode which marks entrance
of the Bannack Indians into their
midst. The Bannacks appear on
the scene, frightening the Sheep
seaters away while they go into
a warlike dance.
Golfers discovery of Yellow
stone Park is shown in Episode
three. Golfer, dressed in frontier
costume, parleys with a band of
Crows who fear his gestures in
tended to conciliate them. To
better portray the park replica
will be shown of Yellowstone
Geyser.
Mona Lisa, Portuguese explorer,
appeares in episode four, when
Golfer returns to the fort. It is
a scene of dancing and merrymak-
ing, with a group of Indians do
ing most of the dancing.

actore in episode five. He adj

You're in q pretty bad spot. Mr..
Jocelyn, and I think the time has
come when you'd better stop ly-
ing and tell the truth.
j.: You--you're not really sug-
gesting that I murdered Blame,
are you?
K: ] am.
J.: But - but, this Is fantastic.
Besides I've already told you that
my wife can prove that she found
me in my bath at 7:45, and that
we were never out Of each others
sight from that time on. until we
went up TO dinner at $3.50.
K: have Just advised you 10
stop lying, Mr.. Jocelyn. Your
wife did not find you In your bath
at 7:45, because she was some
where else at that time, and for
the best part Of half an hour on
wards. During that time / don't
know where you were, but 1t may
quite well have been in Blane,s
cabin. In fact It's going TO look
like that unless you can provide
some other explanation as to how
you were spending your time.
j.: was in my bath, tell
you. All I know is that when my
wife came into the cabin, asked
her the time and she said that 1t
was 7:45. She may have been
wrong. 1t may have been much
later. How do i know.
K: II 1t was much later. that
doesn't improve your situation
because you definitely wanted
Blame out Of the way and, unless
you can bring evidence to show
what you were doing between 7:45
and 8:15, / must assume that
since you've lied to me on other
matters, you're lying now, and
that you were In Blane's cabin.
j.: Now look here, Officer, wheth-
er my wife was right or wrong
about the time I don't know, but
one thing that stands out a mile Is
that there is a man on board this
yacht who had far more reason to
wish Blame out Of the way than ever
I had.
K: Who?
j.: Why, Rocksavage, OF course,
Two days ago he was bankrupt.
Now that Blane's shares have gone
to pot, as anybody knew they
would the moment he was dead
Rocksavage has been buying every
share In the Blame companies as
they come on the market. He was
picking up Argus Suds at II IA
yesterday, and Redmeyer Syndi-
Gates at 80. He's standing In to
make a fortune over this thing,
because once Blanes death had
been announced he was able to
get all the financial backing he
needed without the least trouble,
whereas nobody would loan him
a bob for the last is months. He
has the whole Of the world soap
interest in his pocket today. Don't
you realize that2 And the thing
he's got TO thank for 1t is Blane's
death.
K: Yes, see that, but there's
one point you seem to have for
gotten, or perhaps you didn't
know 1t, because you wouldn't
have the same opportunity as I've
had to check up on these time
