Prologue: Spring brings 10 our
minds magic, moonlight, beautiful
flowers, vivid color, and all the
little animals who frolic over the
green meadows, and last but per-
hdps most important of all, Ro-
nance Our story tonight will un-
fold the characters of old English
and French pantomime: Harle-
quin, the lover of %Columbine; Pie
rot, pathetic sentimentallst who
has a particular fondness for the
moon and pursues Columbine; and
Columbine herself, who is beau
tiful and loves only Harlequin.
There i also Pierette, who is fond
Of Harlequin but is ignored by
him. All is brought to a happy
ending by a magic wand possess
ed by Harlequin.-But wait-it
seems that I hear the magic flute
of little Pan - let us go back
through the centuries for a night
of the spring for which he used
to trill his golden notes. Perhaps
we shall even take a part of our
own twentieth century spring back
with us to delight his impish eye.
