-
-
-This Pageant was prepared primarily for grammar schools, but will
-be found suitable and interesting for higher grades as well as for
-Community Choruses and Societies.
-
-It can be performed on any stage or platform indoors or on the lawn
-out-of-doors. No scenery is absolutely necessary, although the use of
-a scene representing a spacious interior, if such be available, would
-heighten the effect of the performance. Otherwise, a wooded exterior
-scene, or in case no scenery is procurable, a background of hangings in
-a neutral tint will serve. The costumes for the most part are such as
-can be made at home. Boy Scout uniforms will do for the Soldiers, but
-naval uniforms may have to be procured for the occasion.
-
-The music, which is an integral part of the Pageant, has been compiled
-and published by us in a separate book, and is so arranged that it can
-be sung in unison or by mixed voices.
-
-It is intended that the _Chorus_ should be grouped in the background
-and sides of the scene throughout the performance, leaving the central
-part of the stage and a central entrance for the principal characters.

-NO. 1. INTRODUCTORY MUSIC: suggesting strife, discord--War.
-
- THE CURTAIN RISES. BELGIUM, _a girl dressed in Belgian costume,
- clutching Belgium’s flag to her heart, enters and rushes to
- center of stage_.
-
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-Hark! Hark! Do you not hear it? The heavy measured tread, the rumbling
-cannon, the screaming shot, the bursting shell, the anguished cries of
-my brave children?
-
-Look! Look! Can you not see? Nay, thank God you cannot see what I have
-been forced to look upon. (BELGIUM _covers her eyes_.) Oh, my sons! My
-brave sons--for ye were brave! Ye fell, but ye fell with your faces to
-the foe, defending your homes, your country, and your honor! Still ye
-are gone and I am left desolate.
-
-Oh, my children, my children! None too young, none too old, none too
-brave, none too tender to escape the brutal destroyer! All lost, lost,
-lost!
-
- (_The distant strains of “Sambre et Meuse” are heard and_
- FRANCE, _a girl dressed in classic white robe, wearing liberty
- cap, and carrying tricolor, enters. She goes to_ BELGIUM’S
- _side and places her hand on the latter’s shoulder_.)
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Arise, my Sister. All is _not_ lost! Thine honor and thy truth and thy
-loyalty are all untarnished. Pure and white they shine before the eyes
-of all the world. Till the stars fade and the sun dies, all men shall
-say of thee, “Belgium’s is a consecrated,--Belgium’s is a holy ground!”
-
-Lift up thy flag. It has never trailed in the dust, and it never shall.
-Together, shoulder to shoulder, we will face the foe, and _They Shall
-Not Pass_. On, on my Sister, on to Victory!
-
-NO. 2. _CHORUS_: “THE MARSEILLAISE”:
-
- Ye sons of Freedom, wake to glory!
- Hark! Hark! what myriads bid you rise!
- Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary,
- Behold their tears and hear their cries!
- Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding,
- With hireling hosts, a ruffian band,
- Affright and desolate the land,
- While peace and liberty lie bleeding?
-
- To arms! To arms! ye brave!
- The avenging sword unsheathe;
- March on! March on! all hearts resolved
- On victory or death.
-
- Now, now the dangerous storm is rolling,
- Which treacherous kings, confederate, raise;
- The dogs of war, let loose, are howling,
- And lo! our fields and cities blaze;
- And shall we basely view the ruin,
- While lawless force with guilty stride,
- Spreads desolation far and wide,
- With crimes and blood his hands imbruing?
-
- O Liberty! can man resign thee,
- Once having felt thy generous flame?
- Can dungeons, bolts, or bars confine thee?
- Or whips thy noble spirit tame?
- Too long the world has wept bewailing
- That falsehood’s dagger tyrants wield,
- But freedom is our sword and shield,
- And all their arts are unavailing.
-
- (_While the chorus sing “The Marseillaise,”_ FRANCE _and_
- BELGIUM _stand with unfurled flags_. FRANCE, _several steps
- in front of_ BELGIUM, _appears to lead the music. Appropriate
- pantomime during the singing will help._ BELGIUM, _too, shows
- the effects of the music, first, by an awakened look, then by
- advancing one step at a time, until she is shoulder to shoulder
- with_ FRANCE _when the song ends_.)
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-Dare I, dare I believe?
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Believe? Believe the victory will be ours? Aye, never doubt it. Nor
-shall we fight alone. Britain joins our cause.
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-Britain? Britain, the proud, the arrogant! Why think ye she will come?
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Because she hath promised.
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-Promised! Promised! Methinks I have heard that the promises of strong
-nations are but “scraps of paper.”
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-But not Britain’s promises! Proud, arrogant, and strong she may be, but
-when was she known to break a treaty? She hath promised her fleets to
-guard my shore and I rely on her word. Britain never shall be foresworn.
-
-(_MUSIC: “Rule Britannia” heard as at a distance._)
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-Hark! What is that?
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-There! it is she! Did I not tell you Britain would keep her word?
-
-NO. 3. _CHORUS_: “RULE BRITANNIA”:
-
- When Britain first at Heaven’s command,
- Arose from out the azure main,
- This was the charter of the land,
- And guardian angels sang the strain:
- Rule, Britannia, rule the waves,
- Britons never shall be slaves.
-
- Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
- More dreadful from each foreign stroke;
- As the loud blast that tears the skies
- Serves but to root thy native oak.
- Rule, Britannia, rule the waves,
- Britons never shall be slaves.
-
- Thee, haughty tyrants ne’er shall tame;
- All their attempts to bear thee down
- Will but arouse thy generous flame,
- But work their woe, and thy renown.
- Rule Britannia, rule the waves,
- Britons never shall be slaves.
-
- (_As the chorus reach the refrain “Rule Britannia, rule
- the waves!”_ BRITAIN _enters. She is dressed as Britannia.
- Accompanying her are_, ENGLAND, _clad in white and rose pink,
- bearing the English standard_; SCOTLAND, _clad in white and
- purple, bearing the Scottish standard_; IRELAND, _dressed in
- white and green, bearing Irish flag_; WALES _dressed in white,
- bearing the Welsh flag_; CANADA, _dressed in white robe,
- trimmed with maple leaves, bearing Canadian flag_, AUSTRALIA
- _and_ NEW ZEALAND, _dressed in robes similar to_ BRITAIN’S
- _other daughters_, INDIA, _clad in native costume_. BRITAIN
- _with her companions grouped about her, occupies the center of
- the stage_, BELGIUM _and_ FRANCE, _the front-left and right_.)
-
-_BRITAIN_ (_touching the Union Jack on her shield with her trident,
-then extending it to_ FRANCE):
-
-I have come, my Sister.
-
-_FRANCE_ (_impulsively rushing forward and clasping_ BRITAIN’S _hand_):
-
-I said ye would come. (_Turning to_ BELGIUM.) Said I not so?
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-I had thought--I feared--
-
-_BRITAIN_ (_stretching her hand to_ BELGIUM):
-
-I understand, say no more.
-
- “Men whispered that our arm was weak,
- Men said our blood was cold,
- And that our hearts no longer speak
- The clarion-note of old;
- But let the spear and sword draw near
- The sleeping lion’s den,
- His island shore shall start once more
- To life with armèd men.”
-
-_BRITAIN_ (_continuing_):
-
-Nor think, O Belgium, that thy bravery and thy chivalry count for
-naught.
-
- “Whatever men have done, man may,--
- The deeds you wrought are not in vain!”
-
-(_To_ FRANCE): Not only do I guard the ocean with my fleets; I bring
-here my children to aid you in upholding justice, truth and liberty.
-
-England, what is thy message?
-
-_ENGLAND_ (_saluting_):
-
-Ready!
-
- “Old England’s sons are English yet,
- Old England’s hearts are strong;
- And still she wears her coronet
- Aflame with sword and song.
- As in their pride our fathers died,
- If need be, so die we;
- So wield we still, gainsay who will,
- The sceptre of the sea.”
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-“England, stand fast; let heart and hand be steady; Be thy first word
-thy last,--Ready, aye, ready!”
-
-NO. 4. _CHORUS_: “YE MARINERS OF ENGLAND!”
-
- The meteor flag of England
- Shall yet terrific burn;
- Till danger’s troubled night depart
- And the star of peace return.
- Then, then, ye ocean-warriors!
- Our song and feast shall flow
- To the fame of your name,
- When the storm has ceased to blow!
- When the fiery fight is heard no more,
- And the storm has ceased to blow!
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-Ireland, what message do you bring?
-
-_IRELAND_ (_stepping forward and saluting_):
-
- And when did Erin e’er hold back,
- When Freedom called for men?
- I’m with you to the finish, friends,
- For God and the Right, Amen!
-
-_ALL_ (_with upraised banners_):
-
-“God and the Right, Amen!”
-
-NO. 5. _CHORUS_: “THE MINSTREL-BOY”:
-
- The minstrel-boy to the war is gone,
- In the ranks of death you’ll find him;
- His father’s sword he has girded on,
- And his wild harp slung behind him.
- “Land of song!” cried the warrior-bard,
- “Though all the world betrays thee,
- One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
- One faithful heart shall praise thee.”
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-Scotland, what is thy message?
-
-_SCOTLAND_ (_stepping forward and saluting_):
-
- From Scotia’s Isles and storm-tossed shore,
- From fortress-rock and peaceful glen,
- Come ranks of lion-hearted men--
- Come clansmen true as knights of old,
- Meet warriors for achievement bold,
- Loving their home, but Freedom more!
-
-(_Continues, peering and pointing as if seeing a far-off vision_):
-
- I see their plaids and tartans wave,
- I know them, bravest of the brave!
- I see their eyes with purpose fired;
- I know their hearts with right inspired;
- I know their purpose--all mine own--
- That Freedom shall resume her throne!
- Hear! hear their slogan stern and old--
- Meet slogan for my warriors bold!
-
-NO. 6 _CHORUS_: “SCOTS WHA HAE”:
-
- Wha for Scotland’s king and law
- Freedom’s sword will strongly draw,
- Freeman stand, or freeman fa’,
- Let him follow me!
-
- By oppression’s woes and pains!
- By your sons in servile chains,
- We will drain our dearest veins,
- But they shall be free!
-
- Lay the proud usurpers low!
- Tyrants fall in every foe!
- Liberty at every blow!
- Let us do or die!
-
-_ALL_:
-
-“Let us do or die!”
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-Wales, what is thy message?
-
-_WALES_ (_stepping forward and saluting_):
-
- Since Arthur formed his table round,
- Within my favored land,
- And taught each page, and squire, and knight,
- For Freedom’s cause to stand,
- And ’gainst oppression urge their might,
- My sons have stood for God and right.
- And so we join you in this fight!
-
-NO. 7. _CHORUS_: “HARLECH”:
-
- Men of Harlech! in the hollow,
- Do you hear like rushing billow,
- Wave on wave that surging follow,
- Battle’s distant sound?
- ’Tis the tramp of Saxon foeman,
- Saxon spearmen, Saxon bowmen,
- Be they knights, or hinds, or yeomen,
- They shall bite the ground!
- Loose the folds asunder,
- Flag we conquer under!
- The placid sky now bright on high,
- Shall launch its bolts in thunder,
- Onward! ’tis our country needs us.
- He is bravest, he who leads us!
- Honor’s self now proudly heads us!
- Freedom, God, and Right!
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-Canada, youngest of my daughters, ye send each gallant son forth, a
-maiden-knight, to earn his spurs. What is thy message?
-
-_CANADA_ (_advancing and saluting_):
-
- “I give my soldier boy a blade,
- In fair Damascus fashioned well;
- Who first the glittering falchion swayed,
- Who first beneath its fury fell,
- I know not; but I hope to know,
- That for no mean or hireling trade,
- To guard no feeling base or low--
- I give my soldier boy the blade!
-
- “For country’s claim at honor’s call,
- For outraged friend, insulted maid.
- At mercy’s voice to bid it fall--
- I give my soldier boy the blade!”
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-The sword unsheathed in such a cause will ne’er be tarnished. It will
-return to you, my Sister, laureled with the deeds of thy brave sons. I
-know it! I know it!
-
-NO. 8. _CHORUS_: “THE MAPLE LEAF FOREVER!”
-
- On many a hard-fought battle field
- Our brave fathers, side by side,
- For loved ones, home and freedom dear,
- Firmly stood and nobly died.
- And those dear rights which they maintained
- We swear to yield them never;
- God save our land and Heaven bless
- The Maple Leaf forever.
-
- The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
- May we forsake it never;
- God save our land and Heaven bless
- The Maple Leaf forever!
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-India, what message do you bear?
-
-_INDIA_ (_advancing and making native salaam_):
-
- I bring thee the loving homage,
- Of a people thy justice has won,
- I pledge ye our faith and our service.
- Till the day of the despot is done.
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-Well spoken, my daughter. I knew I could rely on thy loyalty.
-Australia, fair and independent, what word do you bring?
-
-_AUSTRALIA_ (_advancing and saluting_):
-
- My great grey ships are on their way,
- Plowing the crested wave,
- A precious freight they’re carrying
- My gallant sons and brave.
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-Aye, gallant and brave and strong are they! New Zealand, what is thy
-message?
-
-_NEW ZEALAND_ (_advancing and saluting_):
-
- I heard you calling, Mother,
- I bring you of my best,
- My splendid men, my Mother,
- God guard them in this test.
-
-_BRITAIN AND HER DAUGHTERS_ (_with upraised faces_):
-
- God, guard our men!
-
-NO. 9. _CHORUS_: (_Tune_--“GOD SAVE THE KING”):
-
- “God bless our splendid men,
- Send them safe home again,
- God bless our men.
- Keep them victorious,
- Strong, clean and glorious,
- They are so dear to us,
- God bless our men.”
-
- (_During the singing of the above verse, all stand in an
- attitude of supplication._)
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-O Britain, well mayest thou be proud! With such loyal daughters and
-such gallant sons, thou art invincible.
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Lo! one crowned with sorrow approaches. It is Serbia and with her comes
-her neighbor, Montenegro. (_Enter_ SERBIA _and_ MONTENEGRO. _Each is
-dressed in National costume and carries National flag._)
-
-NO. 10. _CHORUS_: “SERBIAN HYMN”:
-
- Up and arise the Nations call you!
- Men of Serbia rise as one,
- Honor calls, whate’er befall you,
- Up and strike till Freedom’s won!
- Though the wrong may seem to conquer,
- Truth and Justice will prevail,
- Up and onward to the battle,
- Freedom’s cause shall never fail.
- Up and strike till Freedom’s won!
- Strike till Freedom’s won!
-
-_SERBIA_ (_holding forth her hands as begging for sympathy_):
-
-Woe, woe is me, that the deed of one of my weakest sons should be made
-the excuse for this world-wide war! Mad was the deed, and mad the
-boy--but must the world be set on fire for such a cause?
-
-I would have prevented it if I could. Did I not yield all, all, all I
-could and save mine honor? Speak to me! Tell me, my Sisters, that I am
-guiltless of this world-agony!
-
-_ALL_ (_stepping forward and extending the right hand to Serbia_):
-
-We pronounce thee guiltless.
-
- (_The last strains of the Russian Hymn are heard and_ RUSSIA
- _enters, followed by_ POLAND. RUSSIA _is clad in National
- costume and carries the Russian flag_. POLAND _is in
- characteristic costume, but carries no flag_.)
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-O Russia, dost thou too love Freedom?
-
-_RUSSIA_:
-
- I’ve dreamed a dream--a wondrous dream--
- I’ve dreamed it long--aye, long;
- And in my dream, my people stand--
- Brave _freemen_, true and strong.
-
- No men have longed for Liberty
- As Russia’s sons have yearned,
- In the hearts that know oppression,
- Freedom’s light most fiercely burns.
-
- The day will come--I know not when
- But still mine eyes shall see
- My dream--my dream of dreams--come true,
- And Russia’s sons be free.
-
-NO. 11. _CHORUS_: HYMN TO NEW RUSSIA:
-
- New Russia, rise and proudly stand
- Where men and heroes are;
- Go forth with Freedom, hand in hand,
- Thine eyes upon a star!
-
- Create a land where men are peers,
- Where laws, not monarchs, reign,
- And take thine heritage of years
- Made sacred by thy pain!
-
-_ALL_:
-
-May Russia’s sons be free!
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-And Poland’s, too. Brave men whose hearts have ever yearned for
-Freedom’s crown!
-
-NO. 12. _CHORUS_: POLAND FAIR:
-
- Poland Fair, thou bright and lovely land,
- Ne’er to be forsaken;
- Loyal sons obey thy proud command:
- Ev’ry soul awaken!
- Sacred land, we love thee well,
- Our hearts unite beneath thy spell;
- Take, O Country, all thy sons can give,
- Poland fair, thy name shall live!
-
- (_A trumpet call sounds._)
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Hark! Another friend approaches from the fair South!
-
-NO. 13. _CHORUS_: GARIBALDI’S HYMN:
-
- All forward to battle! the trumpets are crying,
- All forward! all forward! our old flag is flying.
- When liberty calls us, we linger no longer.
- Ye tyrants, come on! Tho’ a thousand to one!
- Hurrah for the banner, the flag of the free!
-
- (_Enter_ ITALY, _dressed in National costume_.)
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Now, welcome, Sister Italy. I have looked for thy coming.
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-Twice welcome art thou, for I, too, hoped for your aid.
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-Thrice welcome art thou. For well I know that in thee still lives the
-greatness that was Rome.
-
-_ITALY_:
-
-Yea, and dauntless as Romans of old come my sons to strike for liberty.
-Now as then--
-
- The horsemen and the footmen
- Are pouring in amain
- From many a stately market place,
- From many a fruitful plain,
- From many a lonely hamlet,
- Which, hid by beech and pine,
- Like an eagle’s nest, hangs on the crest
- Of purple Apennine.
-
-And the same spirit that urged the hero of old to face the foe, fires
-the hearts and strengthens the hand of my younger sons, for--
-
-
- “How can a man die better
- Than facing fearful odds,
- For the ashes of his fathers,
- And the temples of his Gods?”
-
-NO. 14. _CHORUS_: “SOUND! TRUMPET!”
-
- Hark! from the vine-cover’d valley,
- Up to the mountains above,
- Loud rings the signal to rally
- Under the banner we love.
- Aloft bright pennons are glancing,
- And ev’ry heart beats high;
- Proudly the hosts are advancing
- To fight and if need be, to die!
-
- _Chorus._
-
- Sound! trumpet, sound! let the battle-cry
- Re-echo from mountain to strand!
- Sound ye the strain that shall lead us on
- To strike for Italia, our land!
-
- God of the fathers who perish’d
- Seeking the birthright we claim,
- Thine is the flow’r we have cherished,
- Ne’er let it wither in shame!
- The fires of Freedom are lighted,
- With deathless flame they glow;
- Forward! in faith all united,
- To strike and to vanquish the foe!
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-O Italy, thy proud spirit shall again triumph!
-
- (_Music--Japanese National Song--is heard off stage._)
-
-NO. 15. _CHORUS_: JAPANESE NATIONAL SONG:
-
- “Just as leaves by autumn sown
- Red and fair to earth are blown,
- Just as these never cease
- Year by year to shed their peace,
- Thus shall be Freedom’s reign to Eternity.”

- (_As Chorus sings the last lines_ JAPAN _enters. She is clad
- in Japanese costume and carries the Japanese flag. During
- the singing of the last line, she makes the National salaam,
- remaining with her forehead to the ground until the last note
- has died away._)
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-We bid you welcome, my Sister. Great indeed is the cause that unites
-East and West.
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Freedom’s cause alone can work so great a miracle.
-
-_JAPAN_:
-
- To Eastward ringing, to Eastward winging,
- Came Freedom’s call to me.
- “Send forth thy sons, thy gallant sons,
- To guard fair Liberty!”
-
- To Westward winging, to Westward bringing
- My dauntless sons so true,
- I’ve travelled half way round the earth
- To take my stand with you.
-
- (_Martial airs heard off stage._)
-
-_MONTENEGRO_:
-
-Hark! Others come to join us from the South.
-
- (_Enter_ SAN MARINO, PORTUGAL, ROUMANIA, _and_ GREECE. _Each is
- dressed in National costume and carries National flag._)
-
-_SAN MARINO_:
-
-As the oldest, though the smallest, Republic in the world I have come
-to strike a blow for Freedom.
-
-_PORTUGAL_:
-
-And I will stand by you, my Sister, till
-
- “Freedom’s perils be outbraved,
- And Freedom’s flag, wherever waved,
- Shall overshadow none enslaved.”
-
-NO. 16. _CHORUS_: OH, COME, ALL YE VALIANT:
-
-(_Tune--Portuguese Hymn_):
-
- Oh, come all ye valiant,
- Join our high endeavor,
- Oh, come ye, oh, come ye, now in
- Freedom’s name.

- We will fight; we may die,
- But right shall ever stand.
- O God Almighty, O God of Heaven,
- Uphold with mighty hand,
- Fair Freedom’s name and cause!
-
- O may the day soon come
- When peace on earth is won
- All strife and hate be past.
- Truth and right defended

- Truth shall rise; Right prevail
- And peace at last shall come.
- O God Almighty, O heav’nly Father,
- Uphold with mighty hand,
- Fair Freedom’s name and cause!
-
-_GREECE_:
-
-Doubt not that my sons will acquit themselves as did their fathers “on
-old Plataea’s day.” They are
-
- “True as the steel of their tried blades,
- Heroes in heart and hand,
- The sons of sires who conquered there,
- With arm to strike and soul to dare,
- As quick, as far as they.”
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-Ah, my Sister, may ye prove to the world that “the glory that was
-Greece” still abides with thy sons.
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Still others come to join us. From the frozen North, from the sunny
-South, and from the far East they come.
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-What of the West? What of America--the great, the strong, the free--is
-she coming?
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Not yet.
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-But she will come! Well I know her. Ours are
-
- “Sons of the self-same race.
- And blood of the self-same clan.”
-
-_ITALY_:
-
-Yes, she will come. Well is she named Columbia, after my gallant son
-Columbus. Can’st see him as he steered his bark to Columbia’s shore,
-when
-
- “Pale and worn, he kept his deck,
- And peered through darkness. Ah, that night
- Of all dark nights! And then a speck--
- A light! A light! A light! A light!
- It grew--a starlit flag unfurled,
- It grew to be Time’s burst of dawn.
- He gained a world; he gave that world
- Its grandest lesson: ‘On and On.’”
-
-That light became the light of Freedom. That light is still upheld
-clear and pure by Columbia. In that light she will press “on and on”
-till tyranny be banished from the earth.
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Aye, she will come, if but to pay back the debt of gratitude she owes
-us for our aid when she won her Independence.
-
-_BELGIUM_:
-
-She must come, for we need her aid.
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
-America is proud; she will repay her debt of gratitude, France. America
-is generous; she will send you aid, Belgium.
-
-NO. 18. MUSIC OF LARGO. (_All look to the rear._ _Enter_--CHARITY,

-NO. 19. _CHORUS_: THE RED CROSS:
-
-(_Tune--Battle Hymn of the Republic_):
-
- Mine eyes have seen the glory of the Red Cross on the White;
- It carries ease and comfort to the soldiers in the fight,
- It strengthens their endeavors in the battle for the right,
- Its mercy never fails!
- Hail the Red Cross then forever,
- Its mercy never fails!
-
- At the call of suffering thousands it now flies across the sea,
- The homeless hosts of Belgium know its mercy kind and free,
- In prison camps in Europe it breathes hope and liberty,
- Its mercy never fails!
- Hail the Red Cross then forever,
- Its mercy never fails!
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-Your gifts and messages bring comfort and inspiration, but why does
-America wait?
-
-_CHARITY_:
-
-“With malice toward none, with charity for all,” America has sought to
-live at peace with all men. “With firmness in the right as God gives
-her to see the right,” she will act when the time comes.
-
-_BRITAIN_ (_to_ FRANCE _and_ BELGIUM):
-
-Said I not so? (_Turning toward West with outstretched arms_):
-
- “Columbia, Sister of the West,
- With all of Nature’s gifts endowed,
- With all of Heaven’s mercies blessed,
- Nor of thy power unduly proud,
- Peerless in courage, force, and skill,
- And godlike in thy strength of will,--
-
- “Before thy feet the ways divide;
- One path leads up to heights sublime;
- Downward the other slopes, where bide
- The refuse and the wreck of Time.
- Choose, then, nor falter at the start,
- O choose the nobler path and part!”
-
-_FRANCE_ (_stepping to_ BRITAIN’S _side, continues_):
-
- “Be thou the guardian of the weak,
- Of the unfriended, thou the friend;
- No guerdon for thy valor seek.
- No end beyond the avowèd end.
- Wouldst thou thy godlike power preserve,
- Be godlike in the will to serve.”
-
- (_Others join_ BRITAIN _and_ FRANCE _in silent supplication.
- Music softly, first lines of “Star-Spangled Banner.” While
- music sounds, the American Flag is unfurled from above over
- stage. Immediately_ AMERICA _enters. She is dressed like_
- COLUMBIA _and carries a lighted torch. While she stands a
- moment in the center at the rear, music changes to “Hail
- Columbia,” while all on stage salute her._)
-
-_ALL_:
-
-Hail! Hail! Columbia!
-
-_AMERICA_:
-
- “Prince of Light, or Prince of Darkness!
- I have chosen for the world,
- On the side of deathless freedom
- I my banner have unfurled.”
-
-_AMERICA_ (_to Belgium_):
-
- “Little Belgium, crushed and bleeding,
- Martyred by the cruel horde,
- Crowned with thorns, yet bravely fighting,
- Thou shalt live to be restored!”
-
- (_to France_):
-
- “France, the fair, with face uplifted,
- Radiant courage on you waits,
- Thou shalt beat the hordes of Prussia,
- Seeking entrance at thy gates.”
-
-_FRANCE_:
-
-They shall not pass! They shall not pass!
-
-_AMERICA_ (_to Britain_):
-
- “Britons, ye
- Who guard the sacred outpost, not in vain
- Hold your proud peril! Freemen undefiled
- Keep watch and ward! Let battlements be piled
- Around your cliffs; fleets marshalled, till the main
- Sink under them; and if your courage wane,
- Through force or fraud, look westward to your child.”
-
-_BRITAIN_:
-
- “Now fling them out to the breeze,
- Shamrock, Thistle and Rose,
- And the Star-Spangled Banner unfurl with these--
- A message to friends and to foes
- Wherever the sails of peace are seen, and wherever
- The war wind blows--
-
- “A message to bond and thrall to wake,
- For whenever we come, we twain,
- The throne of the tyrant shall rock and quake,
- And his menace be void and vain,
- For you are lords of a strong land,
- And we are lords of the main.”
-
- (_While_ BRITAIN _speaks_, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, _and_ ENGLAND
- _group flags beside Stars and Stripes_.)
-
-_AMERICA_ (_to Canada_):
-
- “Valiant neighbor of my home land,
- The flower of thy Canadian youth;
- At the front where danger gathers
- Bravely stand for God and Truth.”
-
- (_to Italy_):
-
- “In the bright and sunny Southland,
- Where thy sons are fighting sore,
- Garibaldi’s spirit liveth
- As the wine of life they pour.”
-
- (_to All_):
-
- “Noble Sisterhood of Nations,
- I have joined thy vanguard, too;
- Freedom’s torch is brightly burning,
- And I pass it on to you.”
-
- (_Waves torch and all light electric torches which have been
- concealed; these they raise aloft as_ AMERICA _continues_):
-
- “Bear aloft its sacred message
- To all nations of the earth,
- Till a world-wide peace forever
- Comes to bless us with new birth.”
-
-NO. 20. _CHORUS_: HAIL, COLUMBIA:
-
- Firm, united let us be,
- Rallying around our Liberty,
- As a band of brothers joined,
- Peace and safety we shall find.
-
- (_Bugles heard off stage._)
-
-_AMERICA_:

- holds it at the right of the large American flag. A_ RED CROSS
- MAN _holds the flag of the Red Cross at the left_. COLUMBIA
- _and the leader of the soldiers stand before the large flag_.)
-
-_LEADER_: THE AMERICAN FLAG:
-
- Stars of the early dawning, set in a field of blue;
- Stripes of the sunrise splendor, crimson and white of hue;
- Flag of our fathers’ fathers, born on the field of strife,
- Phoenix of fiery battle, risen from human life;
- Given for God and Freedom, sacred, indeed the trust
- Left by the countless thousands returned to the silent dust.
-
- Flag of a mighty nation waving aloft unfurled;
- Kissed by the sun of heaven, caressed by the winds of the world.
- Greater than kingly power, greater than all mankind;
- Conceived in the need of the hour, inspired by the Master Mind;
- Over the living children, over the laureled grave,
- Streaming on high in the cloudless sky, banner our fathers gave.
- Under thy spangled folds thy children await to give
- All that they have or are that the flag they love shall live.
-
-NO. 22. _CHORUS_: UNDER THE STARS AND STRIPES:
-
- High on the world did our fathers of old,
- Under the stars and stripes,
- Blazon the name that we now must uphold,
- Under the stars and stripes.
- Vast in the past they have builded an arch
- Over which Freedom has lighted her torch.
- Follow it! Follow it! Come, let us march
- Under the stars and stripes!
-
- _Chorus._
-
- Under the stars and stripes,
- Under the stars and stripes!
- Follow it, follow it, come, let us march
- Under the stars and stripes!
- Follow it, follow it, come, let us march
- Under the stars and stripes!
-
- We in whose bodies the blood of them runs,
- Under the stars and stripes,
- We will acquit us as sons of their sons,
- Under the stars and stripes.
- Ever for justice, our heel upon wrong,
- We in the light of our vengeance thrice strong
- Rally together! Come tramping along
- Under the stars and stripes!
-
-_SOLDIERS AND SAILORS_ (_with hands at salute_):
-
-“I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for which it
-stands--one Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.”
-
-_AMERICA_:
-
-“Freedom for all, forever!”
-
-FINALE: (_Last stanza of_--STAR-SPANGLED BANNER):
-
-_CHORUS_: _ALL_:
-
- “Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
- Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation,
- Blessed with victory and peace, may the heaven rescued land
- Praise the power that has made and preserved us a nation.
- Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
- And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust,’
- And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
- O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”

-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this

-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<p>This Pageant was prepared primarily for grammar schools, but will
-be found suitable and interesting for higher grades as well as for
-Community Choruses and Societies.</p>
-
-<p>It can be performed on any stage or platform indoors or on the lawn
-out-of-doors. No scenery is absolutely necessary, although the use of
-a scene representing a spacious interior, if such be available, would
-heighten the effect of the performance. Otherwise, a wooded exterior
-scene, or in case no scenery is procurable, a background of hangings in
-a neutral tint will serve. The costumes for the most part are such as
-can be made at home. Boy Scout uniforms will do for the Soldiers, but
-naval uniforms may have to be procured for the occasion.</p>
-
-<p>The music, which is an integral part of the Pageant, has been compiled
-and published by us in a separate book, and is so arranged that it can
-be sung in unison or by mixed voices.</p>
-
-<p>It is intended that the <i>Chorus</i> should be grouped in the
-background and sides of the scene throughout the performance, leaving
-the central part of the stage and a central entrance for the principal
-characters.</p>

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
-public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
-visit <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg&#8482; concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-</div>

-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
