THE ARLINGTON PAGEANT JUNE: 1913 The Spirit of the Pageant THE SPIRIT that dominates the Arlington Pageant is one of reverence for the past history of the town, and of thanksgiving for its well-being and prosperity. The Pageant is designed as a public cele- bration in connection with the dedi- cation of the new Town Hall — the munificent gift of the late Winfield Robbins — the erection of which has been an act of devotion and loyalty on the part of the Misses Robbins.

After the procession has passed before the spectators, the two parts of the Pageant will be en- acted. As Arlington is an agricultural center and has been noted for years for its market gardens, the elements in the Pageant were selected because they are symbolically related to the two great events of agricultural life — seed-sowing and harvest. Part I is based on the story of Ceres and Proserpine, and Part II con- sists of a series of historical episodes and interludes connected in some way with the history of the town.

Snyder Page nine The Prelude ENTER. Classic Heralds, who an- nounce the coming groups and transport the audience on the wings of the imagination to the flowery meadows of Sicily. ENTER. Spirit of Pageantry group announced by Classic Heralds. Re- view of group. This group consists of six mounted figures, bearing banners with appro- priate devices or torches. They are robed in picturesque costumes, ex- quisite in color and full of poetic suggestiveness in the decorations, which are also of symbolic or historic significance. The group thus sug- gests the ideas and sentiments that have been associated with and that have inspired pageantry throughout the ages. EXIT. Pageantry group. Page ten ENTER. The Forerunners of Ceres, — the Husbandman, with plough drawn by oxen with garlands ; the Sower, the Reaper, the Children of the Hours, the Hours. The Hours, the Sower and Reaper take their places as a chorus. EXIT. Husbandman and Children. ENTER. Ceres and Proserpine, with Attendants. Flora, Pomona, and Horticulture are goddesses who presided over flowers, fruits and gardens ; Copia was the goddess of plenty ; Themis presided over the laws of nature ; and the Horae, Dice, Irene, and Eunomia pre- sided over the changes of seasons and the rain clouds; Industry uses all these forces to bring the increase. At the entrance of Ceres, the Hours begin to sing, and the Attendants join in Arlington Pageant : 1913 The Welcome to Ceres Chorus Hail! Ceres, hail, Earth-Mother hail ! Bounteous giver of golden grain, Goddess of field and fertile vale, Mother of lovely Proserpine, Hail, Ceres, hail, all hail, all hail! The Parting of Ceres and Proserpine CERES The fallow fields my coming wait, The clods unquickened lie. I hear imprisoned rootlet call, — Chorus Come, Mother Ceres, ere too late! All nature now is held in thrall, From out our bondage set us free ! Oh let each meadow, vale and field With fragrant incense honor thee And plenteous harvests yield ! CERES Ah hark! I hear the wistful cry Of waiting barley, wheat and rye, — Earth Mother, come, for thee we wait ! PROSERPINE Go on thy way, O mother dear, Thy mighty duties to fulfil, But oh, how lonely and how drear The hours will be ere thy return ! Chorus Then let her bid the Naiads come From sedgy bank and cove, And let her bid the Dryads come From leafy bower and grove, They know her voice And they rejoice To sport with her the livelong day. CERES The dreary hours to speed away Call Dryads from their woodland dreams And Naiads from the lakes and streams, But, daughter, hark! My warning mark! Of lonely meads you must beware! Though lilies pure Hold out their lure Oh let them not thy footsteps snare! Farewell, my child, my sweet delight, I go upon my destined way To wake the fields to life and light. Chorus Farewell, farewell ! Go thou upon thy destined way To wake the fields to life and light ! EXIT. Ceres and Attendants. Pros- erpine follows for a short distance, waves her scarf in farewell, then re- turns and blows her pipe to call the Naiads and Dryads. ENTER. Naiads from the water, and Dryads from the trees. They dance with Proserpine till they hear Tri- ton's horn. They stop, listen, and when the horn sounds again they run away towards the water. Pan and Satyrs appear, and chase off the Dryads to the woods. EXIT. Naiads and Dryads. ENTER. Flower Maidens, who meet Proserpine as she is following the Nymphs. They put a garland round her neck and bring her back to the stage, where they begin to dance. While they are dancing, Proserpine slips away unnoticed by her com- panions, dropping her garland as she goes. She stops now and then to gather daffodils, but as soon as she wanders out of sight the earth opens and Pluto springs out and carries her off in his golden chariot. EXIT. Proserpine. ENTER. Ceres, who returns bearing a torch, for she has already begun her search for her lost daughter. She gazes at the drooping flowers and sings Page eleven Arlington Pageant : 1913 The Lament of Ceres CERES What desolation drear! Where, where is Proserpine ? O nymphs, I beg ye tell If, lured by powers malign, She plucked the asphodel. Or to show by some token If she lives, Ere my mother-heart with grief is broken. Ceres wanders among the flowers looking for her daughter, while the chorus sing The Prayer to the Heavens Chorus O sun and moon and friendly stars Upon her weary quest attend her, Have pity on her lonely heart, Thy help and faithful guidance lend her! CERES Woe, woe! 'Tis vain for aid to wait, My soul must bow to fate! Ceres, in utter despair, picks up the garland dropped by her daughter, and goes to the "Maiden's Well," where she weeps. ENTER. The Daughters of Celeus, with their brazen pitchers, to draw water at the well. They gaze at Ceres in awe, vaguely realizing her divine character. EXIT. Daughters of Celeus. ENTER. The Fall and Winter Months. Chorus Behold the summer's foes Advance with blighting power, Alas for field and glade And every radiant flower! They all must droop and fade, And the seed can not waken, While in woe Ceres hides her face and weeps forsaken. Page twelve The months scatter the leaves, and blight the flowers with wind, frost and snow; for while Ceres weeps, desolation reigns over the barren earth. The Appeal to Zeus Chorus O mighty Zeus espouse her cause And bid at last that Pluto render Her daughter from the Realm of Shade. No help nor man nor god will tender ! Woe, woe ! 'Tis vain for aid to wait, Her soul must bow to fate. At last Zeus takes pity on Ceres, and commands Pluto to allow Pros- erpine to return to her mother for a part of the year. February, the month nearest spring, beckons towards the south, and March en- treats Zephyrus to bring back the Spring. At last Proserpine appears and March leads her to Ceres. EXIT. Fall and Winter Months Proserpine goes to her mother and arouses her from her grief. Ceres rises and joyfully takes off* the black veil that covers Proserpine like a shroud (for she has come from the Realm of Shadows), and Ceres and the chorus sing The Return of Spring CERES AND CHORUS Lifted is the veil of Death, Spring returns with quick'ning breath. Lo! the earth with its myriad voices In Spring rejoices ! Flowers awake and the woodlands ring Proserpine returns to bring The bright and gladsome Spring Rejoice ! 'tis Spring ! Arlington Pageant : 1913 ENTER. Attendants of Ceres during the song. The Flowers are awak- ened by Proserpine. They form a,n avenue through which Proserpine leads Ceres to the throne, where she sits surrounded by her attendants. ENTER. Triptolemus, the Winds, the Arval Brothers. Triptolemus (who was chosen by Ceres to sow the seeds of civilization, and to teach man the mystery of the plough and the arts of peace) kneels at the feet of Ceres, while the Winds and the Arvales stand in front of the throne. Ceres gives the seed to Triptolemus and sings the charge toTriptolemus. CERES Fling wide unto the winds the golden grain, Fling wide the gifts of Ceres o'er the earth. Go teach to man the art of husbandry, That wars may cease, and Peace begin her reign, Fling wide unto the winds the golden grain ! Triptolemus arises and goes forth to sow the seed, while the winds scatter it to the four corners of the earth. Then the Arval Brothers bless the fields as they did in the early days of Rome, by performing a rite in which they sing a hymn, regarded as the earliest specimen of Latin literature. CHORUS AND ARVAL BROTHERS Hymn of Arvales Nos Lares invate Ne tuem ruem Maimers sinas incurrere in plures Satur esto fere Mars ! In limen insili ! sta ! verbera Semones alterni advocate cunctos Nos Mamers invato Tripudia 1 "Ye Lares aid us! Mars, thou God of Might! From murrain shield the flocks, the flowers from blight. For thee, O Mars, a feast shall be prepared, — Salt and a wether from the herd; Invite, by turn, each demi-god of Spring. Great Mars assist us, triumph, triumph sing! " Seed-Sowers and Arvales take places near throne. ENTER. Summer, who, in a dance, symbolizes the miracle of nature — the perfect flower, the source of new life — wrought by the agencies of nature. Like everything in the Pag- eant that centers around seed-sow- ing and harvest, it also symbolizes the development and flowering of the human spirit. ENTER. Greek Worshippers of Ceres, led by the Interpreter, as in the Eleusinian festival. She is fol- lowed by women bearing the sacred basket of Ceres, and by others carry- ing smaller baskets containing fruit and flowers. Then follow women bearing the image of Iacchus, who aided Ceres in her search for Proser- pine. They are followed by torch- bearers. As the procession passes in front of the throne, the spectators shout, as in the Greek mystery, "Hail, Ceres, hail!" It then returns, passing by the Maiden's Well," where it stops, while some of the worshippers dance around it, in memory of the grief of Ceres. (Greek worshippers take places in tableau.) Page thirteen Arlington Pageant : 1913 ENTER. Roman Peasants, as in the Roman Ceralia, playing on pipes and cymbals. They are followed by a hay wagon on the top of which chil- dren joyfully hold up the last sheaf. This was worshipped in early pagan days by rites which are to-day per- formed in the harvest fields of Europe. (Roman peasants take places in tab- leau.) ENTER. Roman Harvest Dancers, with flowers and fruits. The harvest dance is riotously gay and joyous, and flower-throwing is a charming . feature of it. All harvest dances were in the nature of worship, for dances in ancient times were an in- dispensable part of all ceremonies, religious or festive, even of funerals. This dance especially was a joyous expression of the gratitude of man for the gifts of Ceres. EXIT. All the characters in the Pre- lude.

The Spirit of Progress group con- sists of mounted figures bearing torches or banners with appropriate devices. They suggest the ele- ments in European life and thought that emancipated men from the fears engendered by tyranny, igno- rance and superstition, and led them to explore unknown lands and un- travelled regions of thought. EPISODE I THE EXPLORERS AND DISCOVERERS OF AMERICA THE MEN WHO SHOWED THE WAY AND PLOUGHED UP THE SOIL OF AMERICA FOR THE COLONISTS. The Discovery of Vinland Scene. Vinland, probably somewhere on the coast of Massachusetts, 1 ,000 A. D. ENTER. Leif Ericsson and Compan- ions, shouting. According to the story as told in the Saga of Leif the Fortunate, Leif Ericsson and his twelve companions are looking for Page twenty Tyrker, the foster-father of Leif, who has become separated from his comrades. Leif is very fond of Tyr- ker and is very much disturbed at his disappearance, so he blows his horn, and orders his men to go with him to find him. Tyrker, a droll- looking, little old man, appears com- ing from the opposite direction. They greet him joyfully and bois- terously. Then he holds up some bunches of grapes, and persuades Leif and his men to follow him to where the grapes grow. They do this, and lade their vessel with grapes. EXIT. Norsemen, who are seen later in their boat. Scandinavian Folk-Dance Scene. A harvest field in Finland. ENTER. Girls and boys with rakes and scythes. They dance the Fin- nish Folk-Dance, " Reaping the Flax." EXIT. Dancers. " Reaping the Flax," with various modifications, has been danced at harvest time in the fields and market Arlington Pageant : 1913 places in all Norse countries since the earliest times. Folk-dances usu- ally symbolize by gestures or rhythmic movements of the body the emotions of primitive peoples called forth by the great experiences of their lives — seed-sowing, har- vest, love-making, marriage, the hunt, the conflict with an enemy. Those relating to agriculture or mar- riage are usually danced in the circle form, while those symbolizing rival- ry or warfare are danced in the line form. The Landing of Columbus Scene. The shores of San Salvador, Oct. 12, 1492. Boats are seen ap- proaching as the last strains of the Te Deum are heard. ENTER. Columbus, who lands and takes possession of the island in the name of his sovereigns. ENTER. The Captains of the Boats, who plant the banners of the Green Cross, while Columbus plants the Royal Standard of Spain. All kneel while the Cross is planted. ENTER. Mutinous Sailors, who are pardoned by Columbus. Meanwhile some Indians have been watching with awe the impressive ceremonies. ENTER. Indians from their hiding- place among the trees. They ap- proach the Spaniards, filled with curiosity at the dress and beards of the strangers. Columbus gives them red caps and beads, which he orders the sailors to bring from the boats. EXIT. Columbus Group. Other brave mariners had sailed many leagues along strange coasts, and won deserved renown ; but Col- umbus was the first to bid good-by to the land and steer straight into the trackless ocean, in reliance up- on a scientific theory. This fact is of itself enough to make him one of the most sublime figures in history. ' ' The English Occupation of America Scene. Various parts of America where the English landed, 1497-1607. ENTER. John and Sebastian Cabot, Sir Walter Raleigh, Captain John Smith, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Sir Francis Drake, and others. They plant royal standards, flags, and the arms of England, rallying round them and shouting, God Save the King!" EXIT. English Explorers. The early explorers took possession of the shores upon which they land- ed by dramatic and picturesque ceremonies. On the shores of Labra- dor, in 1497, the Cabots raised a large cross with the flag of England, and from affection for Venice, they also raised the banner of St. Mark. Sir Francis Drake, in 1577, received from the native king and his sub- jects on the coast of California, a sceptre and crown which he ac- cepted for his queen, raising a monument in witness of England's sovereignty. Sir Humphrey Gil- bert planted the arms of England on the shores of New Foundland, calling together the Spaniards to witness the ceremony. Captain John Smith carried the English flag to New England.

Twelve Boys dressed as Morris dancers, with sticks and jin- gling bells. They go through a series of movements symbolizing seed-sowing. EXIT. Morris Dancers. The Morris dances of England are supposed by some authorities to be of Moorish origin, hence their name. They were a feature of English paro- chial festivals as far back as the time of John of Gaunt, who is said to have brought them from Spain. Some authorities, however, claim for them a much more ancient ori- gin, and also that certain elements in them are relics of ancient rites and ceremonies. The fact that half the dancers used to black their faces suggests that the dance represented a battle between the Moors and Christians. The French Explorations in America Scene. Various parts of America about the great rivers and lakes explored by the French, 1534-1673. ENTER.

In a community where festivals were fast days, and where the chief pleasure was singing psalms and listening to sermons three hours long, his efforts to establish customs which sprang from the spontaneous joy in life and in nature were unsuccessful. The Maypole was an especial eye-sore to the Puritans. "Woe to the youth or maiden who did but think of the dance!" The whipping-post was the Puritan Maypole ! A Puritan Service Scene.

A village square. The warriors sit down around three sides of the village square — the old warriors and drummers at the end and the young braves at the sides. The women sit also at the sides. The drums begin to beat, and a ceremony which follows the corn- planting is performed, according to a description in the autobiography of Chief Black Hawk.
