The Coming of the Mayflower (Classic Reprint)

4.9/5 (11113 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Coming of the Mayflower A Clearing in the Forest is the setting for all but Episode IV. Although the Pilgrim settlement was really out in the open, the use of small cedar and pine trees at the sides and in the background will form an effective setting for the pageant. For Episode II a rough door should be placed among the trees at the back to suggest the Pilgrims' first cabin. When it is possible to have a more elaborate setting, the addition of the side of a log cabin with a window will add to the effectiveness of the scene. The camp fire may be made by placing several electric lights covered with red tissue paper in the midst of a pile of sticks and hemlock boughs. A fallen log serves for the seat back of the fire. In Episode IV the interior of the cabin may be made as simple as is desired. If it is necessary to conceal the green background, screens covered with brown percaline or paper painted to suggest the log walls may be placed in front of the trees. The spinning-wheel and settle, the old-fashioned table and straight-backed chairs, with a few pewter and old-fashioned china dishes on a shelf will give the atmosphere for the scene. If possible, the one rug on the floor should be homespun, otherwise a rag rug. Place some brass candlesticks on the table and use a homespun curtain to cover the doorway into the inner room. An old fashioned fire-place with a kettle and crane, would, of course, add much to the scene. In Episode VI a tree trunk is placed in the center of the clearing to be used as the rough pulpit behind which America is concealed. Place some pine boughs on either side of the stump to completely hide her. The scenery should be so planned that it can be changed within two or three minutes, in order that the episodes may follow each other in quick succession, with no intermissions. Music Episode I: Indian dance music. Selection may be made from any collection of Indian ceremonial dances, or from the following. Melodic Views of Indian Life, by Horace Alden Miller. Navajo War Dance, by Arthur Farwell. Traditional Songs of the Zuni Indians, by Carlos Trayer. These include the "Festive Sun Dance" of the Zunis and "The Coming of Montezuma," with drum vaville. Dawn music to accompany appearance of the Guardian Spirit, Liberty, in Episode I and III, may be the first part of the Overture to William Tell. Episode II: Storm music for dance of the Spirits of the Wind and the Tempest may be the second part of the Overture to William Tell. There should be soft music played between the changing of the scenes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
