Storm and lightning illuminated the Plymouth Tercentenary pageant drawing Governor Channing Cox and hundreds of mayors and dignitaries to a grandstand crowd. The cost of the stands was offset by selling 300000 Pilgrim half dollars for one dollar each, raising about 150000 for the event. Four performances were planned this week with more next week and final dates in August.
Cast and composers from nine prominent American figures supported Professor George P. Baker in Plymouth for a 300th anniversary pageant. The production mixed Norse, English, and Indigenous scenes with original music by Gilbert and Clifton, verse by Frost and Hagedorn, and featured descendants of Pilgrims and diverse participants.
Descriptive scene shows storm cloud rifts over Plymouth streets filled with 16th century warriors, horsemen, and Pilgrims. A Mayflower replica rides anchored in the bay, lit by a single masthead light, creating a festive pageant ambiance.
Daphne Carr designed the costumes for the Plymouth spectacle and is praised along with Michael Carr and all contributors. The note celebrates the community effort amid many difficulties and seeks congratulations for their Pilgrim spirit.
Old fashioned prints and rare pictures of early American history before and during Pilgrim times will be published in the next Boston Sunday Post Magazine as a fold-up booklet titled The Boston Sunday Post Pilgrim Booklet.
