GREAT MASTERPIECE (Continued from page 1.) the dances in accordance with the action of the story and the music; and history. This has required months of the hardest sort of work. r I Then came the task, not so dif ficult, of selecting the singers. Portland is noted for good voices and the getting together of a chor us of 1000 was hot so difficult as the training of these voices for the long musical score of the pageant. While this work was under way the still more mechanical features had to be started from the bottom and worked up to a conclusion. To present such a production requir ed an immense stage. This must be built to "suit the action, the characters and must also be work able so that it could be lighted and so that the scenery could be changed as the story changes and so that the thousands of persons and the herds of animals could be brought on and taken off without difficulty. And the stage mUst be biult for the benefit of the eyes and ears of the audf ence. There must be seating capacity sufficient to bring in the amount of money required t6 build the show and the. seats must be near enough to enable the audience to see and hear. . To accomplish this required the bringing into play of every known trictc ot stage construction and stage craft plus a lot of new ideas. The vast scenes must be changed quickly and effectively and the lighting system must be adequate and effective. Propertles" such as large vases, trees, rocks, build ings, temples, and thrones must be bunt to appear and disappear as needed, without confusion or the appearance on the stage of stage hands. It must be remem bered that this year all these changes are made automatically as tbe& will ' be no ; curtains to hide stagehands while changes are being made. After devising a stage to meet the requirements came the task of constructing it. It involved a lot of 'new inventions which as 'they $6.15 ! 1 1 ' J?, J i. ,i p have been worked out will revo lutionize pageantry in the whole country according to experts who have seen the stage as completed. With the stage completed came the task ot painting the scenery, the "drops" which are 112. feet long end the wings, and side tabs and the profiles. And then came the lighting of the stage. There was not sufficient stage lighting equipment, in this part of the country. Three hundred great flood lights had to be built to aug ment all ot - the stage lighting equipment that could be borrowed and rented from the theaters of Portland. Two thousand frames to change color effects on the stage had to be built. While this work was under way it was necessary to arrange the costumes. Twenty-five hundred of these were all that could be found among the studios at Hol lywood. The rest had to be made. A large workroom was established at the Public Auditorium and doz ens of civic spirited women of Portland donated their services in this work. Costumes of every sort had to be colored. More wo men gave their services to this. The Costumes had to be histor ically correct and had to be made to fit the persons wearing them. And when they are all assembled they have to be so handled that each night they can be given to the performers and checked back in.' Dressing rooms had to be pro vided for the 3000 performers. A tent city has been built back of the stage to care for this feature. Great herds of horses, oxen, sheep and other animals together with chariots, ox wagons, pioneer wagons, guns, spears, swords, headgear, shoes, helmets, wigs, beards and hundreds of other kinds of equipment had to be as sembled and built. And all must be historically and , allegorlcally correct. . Horses and other ani mals not used to the stage and bright lights and crowds and ex citement had to be stage broken. The steam curtain had to be specfariy bailt. Pipes had to be extended from Multnomah club to the stage. Mechanics had to bore hundreds of very small holes in large galvanized pipes to permit the steam to escape. And with all of these things built and organized comes one of the blggests tasks of all -the or ganizing of all this into a show efftaiie uunnunm eyurniiu) ofJfappitiess INDIVIDUAL PIECES . RQCiERS $17.50 - $23.00 $25.75 CHAIRS . $9.45 - $12.50 u $18.75 - TABLES . $5.20 - $6.b6 - $33.85 - - FERNERIES., - $6.65 - $13.85 under one leader so ' that every movement of the conductor's, ba ton means something and so that the story will unfold without a hitch. The huge ballets of danc ers "must more at the proper in stant. The curtain and the me chanical equipment must move at just the right time. ' The music must yncronize with the action. This id itself is a tremendous task. All of the groups had to be trained separately and ' then brought together into one pi ass. All must' know their entrances and exits as well as their parts and their movement on the stage. Ev ery movement of the entire pro duction has been timed to the fractional part of a second. Whtlfe the 'mammoth production has been fn course of organization there' has been the great task of advertising It 'to the wbrtd, sup plying the newspapers with infor mation and publicity and taking care, of the bin board work, or ganizing the great ticket sale' and arranging for the Ushering of the crowds when they come and the thousand and one other things that- hare required thought and work. f And behind all of these things has been . the business organiza tion that has kept the whole un dertaking moving, the buy Is g of the supplies, the paying of bills, the keeping of books and the countless other things that form a part of this undertaking which Is the greatest Portland ha3 ever attempted. The person witnessing the per formance of Rosaria will see lit tie of the vast organization that Is behind the scenes. It is estimat ed that the completed perform ance In all departments will rep resent the time, efforts and ingen uity of no fewer than 5000 per sons With "probably 400O of them actively engaged on the field and stage the night of the perform ance. ' All through the work the organ ization and the equipment has been built with the future in mfnd. Rosaria is planned as an annual attraction for Portland and this year in building from the ground up the purpose has . been to have a great part of the work and the equipment established so that the task after this year will not be so gigantic.
