TEXAS PAGEANT AS
FAIR ATTRACTION
IS EDUCATIONAL
The organization for the
production of the Historical
Pageant of Texas has been
completed, and work on the
Pageant has already begun.
Practically eyery town in Free-
stone County is taking part in
this Pageant, a committee of
capable women being in charge
of the work in each town. This
provision is very practical
since there are six distinctive
periods in the history of Tex-
as, and each town has a sepa-
rate period, or part, of the
Pageant to produce.

This Pageant, which is
sometimes called “Texas un-
der Six Flags,” is by far the
most colossal show of its kind
ever given in Freestone Coun-
ty. and is one of the greatest
educational Pageants ever pro-
duced in the State. Dealing
particularly and specially with
the history of Texas, this
Pageant is, without a doubt,
something that every citizen is
deeply interested in. an d
should see. Especially will this
play be of interest to the school
children, of the County, since it
portrays in pantomime the his-
tory of our Lone Star State in a
most unique way. having in it
much of the entertainment
feature which will enhance the
entire show. Chorus dances by
large numbers of girls and
”oung ladies will make a
dians and bringing it right to
to the present, distinctively em-
phasizing the several periods.
It places in a nut shell and pre-
sents the historical events as
they actually occurred.
There will be more than
500 characters in this Pageant
and certainly no man, woman,
or child can afford to miss see-
ing this great production of the
unique history of the greatest
State that floats the flag <5T Old
Glory. The excellent band
music will richly enhance the
great historical feature of this
Pageant.
