Pageant Shows Lawrence's 100 Years
Ranging in variety from the can-can dance to the arrival of Quantrill's murderous marauders, the spectacular Lawrence territorial centennial pageant, "Trails West," opened last night at the Haskell institute stadium to a near-capacity audience of about 5,000 persons. Shown in these shots is the action in various portions of the 18-scene, 90-minute-long program, which will run nightly through Tuesday. More than 900 local residents are in the cast, which spent six weeks rehearsing. Most of the action takes place on the football field, while many pantomime acts are performed on smaller, temporary stages at the south side of the gridiron. The audience sits in the north bleachers.
