Spectacular Outdoor Pageant
Revives Early California Lore
600 Residents of
TtUO TO,Uns Unite
In Staging Drama
WNU Features.

All the romance and ad-
venture of early California,
along with the pathos and
tragedy of the Indian people,
are revived in the historic
Ramona pageant, long her
aided as one of the nations
most spectacular outdoor
presentations, which will
open in Ramona Bowl near
Hemet, Calf, April 10.
Immortalized by Helen Hunt Jack
son in her best-selling novel, IRA
mona," the tragic experiences of an
Indian couple living in San Jacinto
valley form the general theme Of
the pageant-drama. The spectacle,
now in its Goth season, is staged in
its own amphitheater situated at the
foot of towering snow-capped Mt.
San Jacinto.
Revives Early Days.
The authentic atmosphere of
early California history pervades
the pageant. It is replete with color
full fiestas, Indian ceremonials and
dancing typical of that period. In
one of the most spectacular scenes,
a mounted posse thunders across
the 50-acre mountainside stage.
Ramona is the result of the
work and talents of more than
900 residents of the towns of
Hemet and San Jacinto, neigh
boring communities nestled in
the foothills Of the majestic San
JacintO mountain range in
southern California. Combining
their efforts, the t0wnspeOple
stage the pageant as labor Of
love" to record an outstanding
example of cooperative cOmmu-
nifty spirit.
Aside from one or two profession
ais in the title roles, every member
of the cast is a citizen of either
Hemet or San Jacinto. ALI produc-
tion details, including costumes, set
tings, maintenance. box Office and
even parking of cars, are per-
formed by townspeople.
Studied in School.
Ramona" as written by Mrs.
Jackson, is on the curriculums in the
schools Of both Hemet and San ia
cinto. Youngsters who study the
dramatic pages of the novel appear
in the play as children. Many, as
they grow up, graduate to more i'm
portant roles.
During the three weekends in
which the pageant is staged, busi-
ness in the two sponsoring commu-
mites is virtually at a standstill.
Men and women in all walks of life
move en- masse to Ramona Bowl,
some as performers some as stage
hands, some as service attendants
and still others just to view again
the stirring story of early days in
their valley.
The general theme of Ramona is
the tragedy of the Indian people. In
1883 Mrs. Jackson came to Los An
geles on government mission to
gather material pertaining to the
