Page Two. THE REGISTER-GUARD. EUGENE, OREGON Turnouts Good For Dance Rehearsals First rehearsals for both the older and younger dancers for the pageant had good turnouts Tues day evening and Wednesday morn ing, according to Mrs. Mildred Le Compte Moore, dance director, but more dancers are still needed, particularly in some of the small er specialty numbers. A group of 130 girls over the age of 12 were present at the re hearsal Tuesday night at McAr thur court for the creation of the land, glacier, and rivers dances, and about 75 more are needed. Rehearsals are each Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p. m. About 65 west side children, 6-12, reported Wednesday morn ing at the St. Mary's school for the "fruits of the valley" dance. East side children will meet Thurs day morning at Condon school at 10:15 for the "flowers of the val ley" dance. These rehearsals will be held rain or shine, Mrs. Moore declared, the school auditoriums having been made available for inside work. The "fruits" and "flowers" will do the same dances and wear the same costumes but the "flowers" will carry blossoms in blue, pink, lavender, red, yellow and orange. A boys' dance group was also started at St. Mary's and one will be organized at Condon. Rehearsals for these two' groups will be in the day time until the final week before the pageant. The dances, however, come at the very beginning of the show so the children can be home by 9 o'clock both the nights of dress rehears als and the actual pageant, Mrs. Moore said. Other dancers needed for' the specialty numbers are: 12 boys or young men for Indian dances rehearsal Tuesdays and Thursdays at McArthur court at 7 p. m.; six boys or young men for the Ameri can colonial minuet rehearsal at same times; 12 boys or young men for the French-Canadian Cree dance, rehearsals to be announc ed later; 75 girls for the waterfall dance and 50 for the smoke dance, (both in the creation prologue), rehearsals Tuesdays and Thurs days at 8 p. m. Dancers are also needed for the melting pot episode, three for the Irish dance, seven for the Scotch, eight for the Italian, and four for the English dances. Rehearsals are at 7 o'clock Tuesday and Thursday evenings at McArthur court All adults who wish to be in the square dances of the pioneer epi sode are asked to sign up ai pag eant headquarters. The first re hearsal of this group will be July 10 at McArthur court at 8 p. m., with both callers and musicians. DR.

En rollments have been received from 279 persons, including about 80 members of the Gleemen and Women's Choral groups. Place of the rehearsal will be announced later. Registration for the chorus has not yet been closed, however, and any person who wishes to sing may still enroll, Mr. Griffith said. At a meeting Tuesday evening of the leaders of the different phases of the pageant it was de cided to have a seated chorus of about 100 members of the Glee- men and Women's choral groups, whose voices will be amplified. This group will be seated on the race track between the grand stands and the stage and just to one side of the symphonic band. A pit is to be dug for the band in the front center of the stage. The remainder of the chorus will also be actors, moving about on the stage. A number of familiar pageant songs will again be included in this year's show, according to Mr. Griffith, including the "Pale Moon" solo by Sacajawea, "Oh Susannah" by a young boy solo ist and the chorus; "Turkey in the Straw" sung by the chorus to accompany the square dancers; "Land of Hope and Glory" as the pioneer wagon train winds upon the stage; "Battle Hymn of the Republic" in the final episode; and one of the favorites of the 1937 pageant, "Come, Come Ye Saints" by the Mormon choir. A lusty, colorful scene in which the Gleemen will star is that at Ft. Vancouver. Some of the solos and chorus numbers are "Bonnie Dundee," "Bendemeer's Stream," "Auld Lang Syne," "On, Roll On," and "Oh, Canada." Small groups of men singers will also appear in the Ship Columbia scene to sing "Blow My Bully Boy Blow," and the chorus is to sing "Stars and Stripes Forever." Tryouts for the solo parts will be announced next week by Mr. Griffith. A number of other musi cal numbers are still in the process of selection.
