The copying, either of separate parts or the whole of this work by any process whatsoever, is forbidden by law and subject to the penalties prescribed by Sec. 28, of the Copyright Law, in force July 1, 1909. License to perform this work must be secured from the publishers, sole owners of all rights.

Orchestral parts may be rented from the publishers.

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.

All the allies who entered the war previous to America’s entry are mentioned, but not in chronological order. That order is as follows:—

The Curtain Rises. Belgium, a girl dressed in Belgian costume, clutching Belgium’s flag to her heart, enters and rushes to center of stage.

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.)

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!

(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.)

Believe? Believe the victory will be ours? Aye, never doubt it. Nor shall we fight alone. Britain joins our cause.

Promised! Promised! Methinks I have heard that the promises of strong nations are but “scraps of paper.”

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.

(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):

(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, stand fast; let heart and hand be steady; Be thy first word thy last,—Ready, aye, ready!”

Canada, youngest of my daughters, ye send each gallant son forth, a maiden-knight, to earn his spurs. What is thy message?

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!

Well spoken, my daughter. I knew I could rely on thy loyalty. Australia, fair and independent, what word do you bring?

(During the singing of the above verse, all stand in an attitude of supplication.)

O Britain, well mayest thou be proud! With such loyal daughters and such gallant sons, thou art invincible.

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.)

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!

(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.)

And Poland’s, too. Brave men whose hearts have ever yearned for Freedom’s crown!

Thrice welcome art thou. For well I know that in thee still lives the greatness that was Rome.

Yea, and dauntless as Romans of old come my sons to strike for liberty. Now as then—

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—

(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.)

We bid you welcome, my Sister. Great indeed is the cause that unites East and West.

(Enter San Marino, Portugal, Roumania, and Greece. Each is dressed in National costume and carries National flag.)

As the oldest, though the smallest, Republic in the world I have come to strike a blow for Freedom.

Doubt not that my sons will acquit themselves as did their fathers “on old Plataea’s day.” They are

Ah, my Sister, may ye prove to the world that “the glory that was Greece” still abides with thy sons.

Still others come to join us. From the frozen North, from the sunny South, and from the far East they come.

What of the West? What of America—the great, the strong, the free—is she coming?

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

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.

Aye, she will come, if but to pay back the debt of gratitude she owes us for our aid when she won her Independence.

America is proud; she will repay her debt of gratitude, France. America is generous; she will send you aid, Belgium.

Call me by my new name, Love, for the love of America sends me and my Sisters with help and messages of cheer.

I am Hope. Never despair. Ye shall triumph. “Be staunch, and valiant, and free, and strong.”

(Enter Mercy, a Red Cross nurse, Charity takes her by the hand and leads her forward.)

Thy Sister, America, has heard thy call for help, and sends me. I am ready for service.

Your gifts and messages bring comfort and inspiration, but why does America wait?

“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.

(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.)

(While Britain speaks, Ireland, Scotland, and England group flags beside Stars and Stripes.)

(Waves torch and all light electric torches which have been concealed; these they raise aloft as America continues):

They come! my gallant sons! All are with me. (Unfurls service flag.) See my service flag—a star for every state and none missing.

(American Soldiers and Sailors march in; a line of Red Cross Men in the van. When all are in places at the rear of the stage their leader approaches and salutes Columbia. She hands him the service flag which he passes to a soldier who 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.)

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.

“I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for which it stands—one Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.”

To fit the context the last line of the Japanese National Song has been slightly altered.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ 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™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ 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™ 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™ 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™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ 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™, 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.
