r i HE greatest agency that this
-*- world has ever known to
help suffering humanity is the Red
Cross. I paid for this page to en-
courage every effort made by the
noble, self-sacrificing women of
Memphis, whether soliciting ad-
vertisements or in the work room,
in the home, or in the field. It
is for the same grand glorious
end, that is, the alleviation of
suffering humanity.

By Annah Robinson Watson.
Copyright, Feb. 25, 1918.
SYNOPSIS.
A drama combining the four forms of emotional expres-
sion: speaking, singing, dancing and pantomime. An ex-
travaganza with no limitations of place, peoples, period
or things.
Scene
Grand Hall of the Palace.
Orchestra
Enter the Regent, Dukes, Duchesses, Pages, Etc.
Regent:
"Welcome, most welcome, our honored guests and
noble ladies and gentlemen of the realm of Luthania.
Whether with us by birthright as sons and daughters
of the realm, or come to us through bonds of friend-
ship from sister provinces or kingdoms, welcome, and
again welcome!"
Regent:
"Would I might declare the welcome as heartfelt
from the Prince of Luthania as from myself. The
Prince, in whose honor are we all assembled, is self-
willed, arrogant, selfish and now declares that dis-
pleasure over some petty disappointment may even
prevent his appearing upon this august occasion
which has been ordered solely in his honor."
(Dukes and duchesses evidence by gestures and
facial expression surprise and resentment.)
Enter the Prince of Luthania, personal attendants
and the Royal Minstrel.
The Prince, continuing conversation with the Royal Min-
strel :
'"I declare unto you, and unto you, worthy Dukes
and Duchesses ,1 will no longer be a puppet! If this
Fete is held in my honor it shall be ordered to pleas-
ure me! Me! The Prince!"
Royal Minstrel, placing a hand on the arm of the Prince :
"Aye, aye, a Prince, but also an untutored boy! The
noblest will, untiitored, may wreck life and all it
holds for him who gives it sway. 'Twas this led the
youth Phaeton in his mad drive across the firmament
in the chariot of Sol." (Turning to the guests, his
hand still upon the arm of the Prince) : "Noble guests,
I would, in behalf of my Prince, add his welcome to
that I am persuaded has already been given by ihe
most exalted Regent of the realm, and I beg to recall
to your minds that once in a century, or whensoever
all auguries agree, Princesses of other kingdoms are
invited to Luthania for a joyous Fete, that from these
Princesses the Prince may choose a bride. For this
occasion and his coming of age are we now assem-
bled."
Prince, interrupting:
"Aye, most true, good Minstrel, my one only friend
in this assembly" (he looks about upon the gathering,
an expression of yearning suddenly showing in his
eyes), "most true, but why am I disappointed? Why
did not the noble, all-powerful Regent (with a ton-3
of sarcasm) see to it that the Princess of Circasia,
famed as the most beautiful in all the world, should
be present — that she, if no other, should attend my
Fete! Why, I ask you, I, the Prince, demand why!"
Royal Minstrel:
"The Prince! The Prince! Give over! What is it
to be a Prince ? — what, to be of royal race if not to act
the part? So pure and fine let all thine actions be
none can deny of royal race art thou ! Give over this
■whim, he thy 'better, best self. I am clever at pene-
trating disguises. 1 have seen through that of the
Prince, and 1 will provide a Princess, who is in truth
the most beautiful in the world — young and fair, and
altogether lovely!"
The Regent, interrupting and incredulously sarcastic :
"A Princess, and in her own right? — most lordly
though nameless wanderer, in her own right?"
The Prince, eagerly:
"And beautiful — and altogether lovely? — only in
dreams have 1 known such an one."
Regent, sharply:
"Of what land? — may 1 humbly ask."
Prince, impatiently :
"Her name! her name! tell quickly what I would
know!"
Minstrel, glancing towards the Regent :
"Worshipful Sir, may it please you, we will say, of
Nolande, Princess of Nolande! (turning to the
Prince), hut what matter her land? — what matter her
name ft Among those who love her is she called the
'Moon Flower.' Why — hecause, forsooth, a wanderer
passing through tropic meadows found a iblossom rare
and beautiful which flowered in the moonlight, away
from the sunshine of the garden. It was called in
that distant country 'The Moon Flower.' A little
chdd, a princess in her own right, but far away from
her own, in an alien clime, saw and loved it. FroLi
that time was she called the 'Moon Flower.' "
Royal Chamberlain, interrupting, advances and proclaims :
' ' The Royal guests have entered the palace ! ' '
Orchestra:
(The golden doors are thrown open and a gorgeous
group enters as he adds) :
"The most royal Princess of Albion! her Herald, En-
voy and attendants!"
(The Herald carries a wand tipped with a rose,
kneels before the Prince, salutes the assembled com-
pany and dances away, being joined iby the attend-
ants. These are beautiful young girls whose roibea
are diaphanous and in pastel shades. The insignia of
their Princess is the rose, her costume is garnished
with them and her attendants, with garlands of roses,
pass into a wonderful dance, "The Revel of the
Roses," while the Princess is being presented to the
Prince, Dukes and Duchesses. He treats them with
dcant courtesy, but watches as they interpret the
revel of the roses.)
The sun sent bis messengers over the hill*
To waken the slumbering world,
And into a garden fair they dashed
And the banner of morn unfurled.
And the roses, clasped in the arms of night.
The dwarf and the moss rose, tall.
Each wakened and lifted a dew-crowned head
To welcome the echoing call.
And the pale pink rose and the yellow said,
"We'll win the first kiss of the sun!"
But the red rose answered, " 'Tis mine! 'tis mine!
Of all I'm the fairest one!"
And the moss rose threatened, "I'll thrust my thorns
If any should rise in my way,
I'll lift my lips for the kiss of the king
When he opens the door of the day!"
And the roses danced in the wildest delight,
Each claiming the king's first kiss,
They bowed and tossed their petals aloft
That their fragrance he might not miss.
But the blush rose, timidly held aloof

And smiled on the eager throng,
While a nightingale, watching from jasmine tree,
Caroled gaily his matin song.
And the roses, in revelry, claiming each,
That she was the fairest of all.
Caught not the first gleam of the rising run
And did not answer his call.
But the blush rose, modestly standing aloof,
With her sweet face turned aside,
And her lips curled up like a Cupid's 'bow
With the love that she could not hide,
Shared not in the revel of pelting leaves,
Nor the dancing of wild delight,
'Twas she that he saw and bending, kissed,
As he rose in his car of light.
(Just as they complete their dance and pass to a
position on the side of the stage.)
The Chamberlain announces:
"The Princess of the Baltic, Herald, Envoy and at-
tendants. ' '
Orchestra.

Chamberlain announces:

(Insignia the Lotus. The Princess is presented,
leans towards the Prince, holding between her linger
tips a lotus blossom. It seems to please his fancy, lie
reaches for it, but she, with tantalizing gestures,
draws back, is surrounded by her attendants, who
circle about her as she sings and they interpret, "The
Dream of the Lotus") :
A truant Mermaid stole away
From the distant blue, blue sea,
And wandered into a wonderful stream
Where the Sphinx watched constantly.
And the Pyramids all reproving stood,
And frowned in their old, old way
And the Mermaid hid in the wonderful stream,
For she didn't know what to say!
And a Wizard passed, a Mischievous One,
And he listened to the Mermaid's sigh,
And the Wizard smiled as a Wizard would
And winked his whimsical eye.
Then the Mermaid dozing beneath his spell,
As a slumbering 'blossom lay,
On breast of the stream with petals white,
Not a word had she to say.
And the Pyramids all fell fast asleep,
And the Sphynx, it would not tell,
And the dreaming Lotus, still in its heart,
Bears a secret, the Wizard's spell.
The Chamberlain announces:
"The most Royal Princess of Hispania, Envoy and
Attendants ! ' '
Orchestra.
(The Princess of Hispania enters with her Royal
Envoy, pages and personal attendants, having been
preceded by her Herald. The young girls, her at-
tendants, are in brilliant costume, and during her
presentation, dash into the radiant figures of the Ca-
shucha. The historic "Dabimba," is the insignia of
their realm and appears in their decorations. This
Princess, with each of the others, feels assured that
her own glorious appearing and her fascinating
retinue, will result in the choice of herself as the
bride of the Prince, but he only gazes upon them
with a remote interest.)
Chamberlain announces :
A Noble Daughter of Athens, Herald and Envoy."

gowns, dance in interpretation, "The Vision of the

Orchestra.
(Her attendants are decorated, as is she herself,
with lilies — pure white, yellow, tiger lily and deep
red. They tell in the marvelous mazes of their dance
"the Legend of the Lily." The Prince starts toward
them, but changes his mind and turns away.)
THE LEGI&ND OF TiHE L,lu\ Us interpreted by the dancers).
A chrysalis dozed in his garden bed
And dreamed oi the coming day,
Ana wondered whatever should b9 his fate — -
As a poor little chrysalis inay.
Then the sun shone over his garden bed
And whispered, "Come, worm, awake!
i l..- uif 13 caning aloud at the door,
Awake! awake! awake!"
And the chrysalis crawled from his folding crib
And looked the bright sun in the face,
And cried, "Uh, sun, come help me to rise
And an upward path to trace!"
Then he felt a quiver through all his heart
And a thrill from his head to his feet,
And a throbbing wild as he tried the wings
That were lifted by zephyrs sweet.
As a butterfly, then, with gorgeous wings,
'He flew o'er the garden fair,
And kissed the lips of a lily pale
That bloomed near a marble stair.
And down the stair came a maiden sweet,
And her eyes were heavenly blue,
And a knight in armour met her there.
But none in her castle knew.
And the butterfly kissed the lily's lips,
And the knight he kissed the maid,
And the other lilies, watching, smiled
As the lovers near them strayed.
"A wedding there'll be in the Castle Hall,
And a wedding in Flower Land,
The knight and the butterfly grooms," they said,
"And bridesmaids, we will stand "
. . )
But the butterfly flew on his silken wings
To another garden fair,
And left the lily that he had wooed
By the shining marble stair.
And the knight he sailed o'er the shimmering seas.
To a maiden he had left,
And the maid who had smiled from her blue, blue eyes,
Was alone, of her Love bereft.
i
And the tiger lilies all shook their heads
And the orange flushed to red,
For the lily pale, heart-broken lay,
Midst her sorrowing sisters, dead.
(It is evident that neither the guests nor their di-
versions have satisfied the Prince. He is restless and
impatient, glancing every moment at the great golden
entrance.)
(Suddenly a clear, resonant voice is heard singintr.
The Minstrel advances. The Prince lifts his head, lis-
1 ruing, as there comes dancing into the hall, with
rhythmic step, a band of little green woodsmen, the
bodyguard of the Princess. They carry golden hows
and arrows and with laughter and elfish mimicry,
form into two lines, leaving an avenue between.
The Royal Minstrel passes down this avenue and with
grave dignity takes the hand of the Princess, who

has just appeared. She is petite, her raven locks are
crowned with jewels and a cluster of Moon Flowers.
These also adorn her robe, which is a shimmering
co'bweb tissue, glistening with dew drops. Her face
is radiant with the glow of youth and joy. Still sing-
ing, she advances mto the hall.)
(.The Prince steps forward eagerly, stands a mo-
ment entranced, bows, and stooping, kisses her hand,
leads her to stage center, where she finishes her song,
then escorts her to a seat upon the raised divan.)
Chamberlain proclaims:
"The Princess of Nolande."
(The Retinue of the Princess has 'entered the hall,
and each member, bowing to the Regent and assem-
bled guests, takes a position in the forefront of the
stage.)
(Retinue includes the Lady of Dreams, Mistress
Echo, Maid of the Mountain, Priestess of the Valley,
the North, South, East and West winds.)
Regent, advancing:
"it would appear that the Princess of this unknown
land, Nolande, scorns the services of Herald or En-
voy. Who then stands to speak in her ibehalf 'I ' '
Lady of Dreams:
"I, most worshipful Sir, I, the Lady of Dreams."
Regent:
' ' Lady of Dreams ! most surprising name, and, also, I
take it, of Nolande?"
Lady of Dreams:
"Aye, Sir, most august Regent, Nolande, Dut of a
truth my kingdom may be said to embrace the entire
Universe. 1 claim the whole."
Regent:
"Most surprising! and you belong to the retinue oi
the Princess?"
Lady of Dreams:
' ' I am her closest friend, her constant companion. I
have filled her mind with beautiful dreams, with high
imaginings, with all the sweet and joyous visions
which are floating on every breeze for those who
beckon and welcome them. No dream is more beauti-
ful than life may be 1 "
Regent:
"Surprising! most surprising!"
Lady of Dreams :
"But verily true. Dreams may become realities, real-
ities as beautiful as dreams. I mind me of one glori-
ous dream of the Future which lies yet concealed in
the mystic recesses of Time. It has much eLgrossed
us as we wandered upon dim forest paths leading to
the heights. A dream in which I saw thrones topple,
kingdoms sway and fall, principalities shrink to noth-
ingness and heard a mighty chorus of voices, people 's
voices, peoples of the whole earth, crying in notes of
swelling joy, 'The Chariots of the Lord of Hosts are
upon the mountain tops ! One King ! One People ! His
people throughout all the earth. ' ' '
Regent catches his breath and turns pale.
"Most surprising! truly most surprising!"
Lady of Dreams:
"Only a dream, worshipful sir, only a vision, but
stranger than this have come true ! ' '
Regent, visibly moved, turns to another standing near,
who has entered with the retinue.
"And, may I ask, do you also come from this strange
country?"
Mistress Echo:
"I? — of a truth, yes — Mistress Echo, toy your leav,,
hut I too am known the whole world over. I have
kept near to the Princess of Nolande, our fair Moon
Flower, and have had my share in her upbringing.
Many days 'I have stood upon the hillside to repeat to
her the words that curved her beauteous lips, that
she might know the message they carried could not
be changed. That once spoken, they could not be re-
called. 'I have taught her that all of life is little other
than our own echo."
Regent :
"Most surprising! and you?" — looking upon the next
fair face.
Maid of the Mountain :
"The mountain mists have colored my robe, a cleft in
the mountain side has been my haibitaiton, but my be-
loved dwelling place has been the top of the moun-
tain, where the sun lingers longest and the shadows
may not stay. Tis I have shown our Princess that
however the mists may gather, there is ever a place
of sunshine on the Heights!"
Priestess of the Valley:
"And I, most noble sir, Priestess of the Valley, have
taught our Princess to smile upon the humble, lowly,
things not to pass unnoticed the dew hanging as
jewels on tender moss and grasses. This has been my
share in her upbringing."
Regent:
"Truly a most surprsing company of instructors!"
(Aside), "Scarcely suited, I would take it, to fit their
pupil for life at Court ! ' '
Lady of Dreams:
"Pardon, august sir, that your words reached me. I
would answer that for the highest Court is she fitted !
high thoughts, high purposes, recitals of high and
noble deeds have filled her every moment. So should
every soul he trained ! — and these, the four winds of
heaven have had their share. Her wondrous voice by

Orchestra.
(This quartette sings, then is joined hy voices of
others on the stage. The singers sway with the meas-
ure, and, as moved hy a single impulse, form a proces-
sion. The circuit of the hall has been reached, when)
Captain of the Royal Guard rushes in, crying :
"The Prince! the Regent! danger! fly! fly!"
(All in confusion. The Prince resigns the Princess
to the Royal Minstrel and hastily follows the Captain.
Guests fly through various exits. The Prince sudden-
ly pauses as a band of outlaws dash into view. The
Royal Guard rush to the rescue, but are overpowered
and with the Prince are bound and dragged from the
stage.)

SCENE, WOODLAND, CAVERN TO EXTREME LEFT.
(In the cavern the Prince is seen, chains on ankles
and wrists. Group of outlaws leaving with derisive
laughter.)
Leader of Outlaws:
"Aha ! proud Prince of Duthania ! long have I waited,
hut today the old wound, festering here, is healing!
(strikes his breast), he assured we meet again!"
(The Prince rises to his feet with desperate effort,
'but sinks hack to the rude seat, where his captors
had left him.)
Prince:
"Today! yesterday! the same world? — no, no — the
same sun? — there is no sun! Yesterday a Prince, to-
day a slave! Yesterday a Prince? — ah, no, the thrall
of passion, of pride, of selfishness. Today not ac-
counted in the world at all, gone like a falling star, a
meteor to return no more, no more. Oh. for another
day, a day in which truly to live! Oh, God! for an-
other day!"
(A voice is heard singing. He tries to reach the
entrance of the cavern. The chains hold him. He
hears, hut cannot, see the Princess of Nolande, Lady
of Dreams, Mistress Echo, and other members of the
retinue as they come down the mountain side. The
Princess continues her song and they pass from view.
Suddenly the Royal Minstrel emerges from another
woodland path, reaches the cavern, starts back in sur-
prise, crying)
Minstrel :
"The Prince! the Prince, and a captive!"
Prince:
"A Prince yesterday, but not a prince today."
Minstrel :
"Not a prince? — then, better still, a man!"
p rince:
"Aye, a man, if but permitted to play a man's part!"
Minstrel, aside:
"A plot of long brewing, if I mistake not." then to
the Prince, "I return to Luthania on the moment.
You will remain here. It is better so."
Prince:
"And in chains? — my friend, in chains?"
Minstrel :
"Aye. but only in appearing." (Takes tools from his
pouch and wrenches apart a link in each chain.) "See
to it that this be not discovered by the outlaws. I
will return so soon as my purpose is accomplished."
(Crosses open space in the forest and disappears.
Prince, sitting in attitude of dejection, sings or re-
cites.)
There is no gloom in Life's fair room
If "Love's sun rise!
There is no night if shines the light
From love-lit eyes.
But if Love's bound by fetters round.
In prison low,
Then deepening gloom fills Life's fair room —
Ah, well I know!
Oh, Love, that lives by what Love gives,
How sad thy fate.
When comes no sign and thou must piue
And hopeless wait!
(Pauses, suddenly struggles to his feet. The song
sung by the Princess of Nolande when she entered the
palace, is echoing through the forest. He loosens the
chains, reaches the entrance of the cavern, stands
spellbound. The Princess is coining slowly down the
woodland path, he starts toward her, the song dies on
her lips, a frightened look comes into her eyes, then
an expression of glad surprise as she hastens toward
him. He bows humbly, reaching both hands to her,
and exclaims) :
Prince:
"Oh, fairest, rarest on whom these eyes have rested,
oh, bid me hope that were it not for these, these cruel
chains, 1 might dare to kneel at your feet a sup-
pliant!"
(She turns away and he continues) ' ' You will not
listen to my plea? — You will not wed a prince? — Oh,
Fate, evil Pate, that made me a Prince 1"
They sing duet.
(Sounds of approaching footsteps are heard, he
cries.)
Prince:
"Fly! fly! the outlaws!"
(She draws closer to him for an instant, toucnes
his chains compassionately and stands in the entrance
as to bar the intruders. He springs forward implor-
ing) :
Piince :
"Fly! Oh, fly! I 'beseech you!"
CURTAIN.
SCENE: GRAND HALL OF THE PALACE— ENTER
THE PRINCE AND MINSTREL.
Minstrel: , ^
' ' Welcome, welcome home again, Prince of Lutahnia !
The outlaws and arch traitor are even now prisoners
within the Palace grounds!"
(Enter the Palace Guards with outlaws and Regent
in irons.)
Prince, starting to his feet:
"The Regent ! the Regent I I should have known him
long agol"
Regent (aside) :
"I might also have known. Did not the Sibyl de-
clare him, the Minstrel, my evd star!"
Prince, to the Chamberlain:
"Seek out all our guests, nothing shall be done ia
secret. Witnesses were they all to my discomfiture,
witnesses shall they be to his undoing!"
(Chamberlain leaves the Hall and dukes, duchesses,
princesses return.)
Prince:
"Princesses and nobles, all our gracious guests, I do
implore pardon from the largess of your kindly
hearts. 1 was a boy, and a misguided boy. I am a
man, and so help me God, I will reach the stature of
a noble man. Your pardons, each and all!"
(All how, smile and manifest satisfaction.)
Prince:
"Before you is the one time Regent, Regent no more,
and proven a dastardly traitor! Shortly will he re-
ceive his deserts. Royal Minstrel, speak for us."

Minstrel :
"In the cause of justice will I speak, I, who for so
long a time have held my peace."
(He tears off his disguise, long hood and iron gray
heard. The Regent starts visibly, exclaiming aside)
Regent :
"Aha! Royal Minstrel indeed!"
Minstrel :
"I see that the Regent remembers !"
Several of the elder Dukes and Duchesses:
"As do we!" (Smiling in surprise at the Minstrel,
one of the dukes comes to his side, grasping his hand
warmly.)
Minstrel, bowing to them :
"The truth must be told briefly. The Princess Olga,
heir to the realm of Luthania, eighteen years agone,
wed the Duke of Milan. A little child, a daughter,
was born to them. That serpent (motioning towards
Regent), plotting for personal aggrandisement, ac-
complished the hanishment of the Princess Olga. The
Duke of Milan, seeing no seat upon the throne for
him basely deserted the Princess and their little child.
The Princess sought refuge in a distant castle, where
she shortly died. The Regent, hecome so by devilish
deeds, placed the next in line on the inrone, a boy
whom he has endeavored to make obnoxious to his peo-
ple that he might in turn be dispossessed and the Re-
gent be declared the king of Luthania. The little child,
daughter of the Princess Olga, is before you. The
hoy, the Prince, is before you. She, a princess in her
own right, though called the Princess of Nolande."
(Dukes and Duchesses gaze ahout them in wonder
and whisper to each other.)
Minstrel:
"But the Princess refuses the royal estate rightly
her own, and thus, the Prince, as we have known hira,
becomes our rightful lord and master."
Prince:
"So royal a gift could come only from a royal donor,
and must be considered in a spirit of royal humility.
I do now, in the presence of you all, most humbly
heseech her, as I have already done in private, when
both were ignorant of this unfolding, to become my
hride, and so, doubly, the Princess of Luthania.
(The Princess turns to the Lady of Dreams, evi-
dently answering in the negative.)
Lady of Dreams:
"Oh, most worshipful company, this noble Princess
doth forswear the high estate to which she is called.
Thrones may crumble and empires fall, hut this pro-
nouncement of her will endures. The intrigues, the
falsities, the cruelties of a Court are not for her."
The Prince:
"Then neither are they for me — Oh, Princess, relent,
here, now, I cast away my crown, my throne, haubles
hoth. For you, for my neople, will I live, if need be
in humblest obscurity, but with so high a purpose no
throne could elevate, no title ennoble. To the nurtur-
ing of a glorious brotherhood, the dream of sages
and prophets, will I consecrate my powers. Service
shall be my watchword, my aspiration."
(He goes nearer, hut the Princess makes no reply.)
Lady of Dreams:
"Oh, Princess, rememher, remember, that fair morn
upon the mountain top, when, in a vision I saw the
dawning of a new day when thrones would crumble
and kingdoms fall ! Oh, my Princess, be 'obedient unto
the vision.' Lead Luthania on the upward way into
the new day! Lead on! lead on!"
(The Princess takes a step toward the Prince, he
clasps her hand, lifts it to his lips rapturously and
taking the insignia of Luthania from his breast, ele-
vates it and placing it upon her breast, exclaims)
Prince :
"In the sight of God and of all peoples! Princess in
her own right! Noblest lady of Luthania!"
Chamberlain :
"Hear! hear, all ! The Prince of Luthania has chosen
his bride! The Princess of Nolande! The marriage
will shortly be solemnized, the honorable guests will
join us in royal festivities!"
Orchestra.
(Rythmic measures are heard, the Prince and Prin-
cess lead in a stately dance.)
Chamberlain announces:
"Onests! guests! from a distant country, long de-
layed in their coming. The Lady Golden Goldenrod,
and her envoy!"
(A clear bugle call is heard).
(The last step in the dance is being taken. The
Ladv of Dreams pauses, eyes and arms suddenly up-
lifted, exclaimsl :
Ladv of Dreams :
"The Vision! the Vision! Centuries have swept us
by! The dream has come true! Behold! Behold!"
''Groups retain positions as in the dance. Enter a
tall martial figure, weariner a military cloak, which
conceals the costume beneath, following him are two
khnki-elad pttendants. one carries a slender srolden
staff, tinpert with a rfbininer eagle, the other a buerle.
With him enters the Ladv Golden Bod. clad in a loose
robe of cloth of cold, the tint of the morning sun-
shine cauffht as she passed through the dawn of the
upw dav. Thev salute the Prince and his courtiers,
then pass to the footlights, the militarv cloak is
thrown aside and the national uniform is revealed,
the staff is lifted aloft and the Star Spangled Banner
rinnles above the head of the Ladv Golden Goldenrod.
The sunshine mantle falls from her shoulders, and she
stands in the florions robe of which stripes of red
and white sween to the floor and the blue bodice of
which glows with the stars of the national firma-
ment.)
Orchestra:
(Lady Golden Goldenrod sings two verses of the
"Star-Spangled Banner," then the cast and audience
join in the anthem.)

Twenty Per Cent
Increase in Wages
That part of a man's -wag-
es that he uses in purchasing table supplies
for his family, If there is an increase in the
purchasing power of his money that equals
twenty per cent an equivalent to a wage in-
crease on that portion of his wages is in fact
accomplished.
Every DOLLAR that the
wage earner or the banker or the capitalist
(as they are all on the same footing at a
Piggly Wiggly) that is invested procuring
food products from a Piggly Wiggly has a
twenty per cent greater purchasing power
than at any of the old-fashioned ordinary gro-
cery stores.
The Union Carpenter has
a wage scale in Memphis of 55c per hour.
If this same man can go into a Piggly Wiggly
and save 55c in five minutes by waiting on
himself, it means that he is earning at the
rate of $6.60 per hour, therefore, the Piggly
Wiggly makes it possible for a man's time
to be more than ten times more valuable.
For the time spent in a
Piggly Wiggly Store if as much as $2.00
worth is purchased the man who thus spends
his time if he has a daily wage scale of 55c
per hour not only is receiving full Union
wages, but he is receiving twelve times the
Union wage scale.
And if a man himself is
too busy to go to a Piggly Wiggly his wife or
his child can so utilize their time as to pro.
duce a higher wage scale than the head of
the family is able to receive in a regular way
doing hard labor.
Not only is the time of the
wife or the child or the man himself profit-
ably employed while in a Piggly Wiggly,
but there is an educational value to such
time spent there. Much pleasure on top of
these first two considerations is afforded the
person who thus utilizes their time.
It is not expected that
everybody will see the wisdom of trading
with a Piggly Wiggly. Because the Maker
of the Universe knew that people would be
of different opinions and would live different
kinds of lives, there has been provided, as
is told In the Bible a "Hell" and a "Heaven."
Both of these words start with an "H" but
they end differently, so considering that
some people are too careless or too indif-
ferent that they fail to get to "Heaven" and
30 to another place instead, so It is expected
that some people will forget to go to a
PIGGLY WIGGLY STORE and go to some
other place.
