An Appreciation of the Peach Blossom Fes¬ •
]
tival and Pagaent “The Trail of Pink Petals 97 | ■
!
•
By HORACE M. BOWMAN
EDITOR’S NOTE: Mr. Bow¬
man, who covered the Peach
Blossom Festival for the Chris¬
tian Science Monitor, forwarded
this article to Mrs. W. J. Bras¬
well, who in turn kindly handed
it to The Leader-Tribune for
publication.
I am writing this appreciation to
encourage the continuance of what
I regard as one of the most beauti
ful, dramatic and effective pageants
which it has been my privilege to
see; a pageant which I believe in ev
ery sense of the word, is entitled to
serious consideration from the aes
thetic point of view.
Had this phase of the pageant been
generally known, Fort Valley, on
March 19th and 20th of this year
4 would have been the host of press
representatives from many of the
largest cities in America, and its
name as a community which had real¬
ized a high ideal would have been
known to every dramatic critic in
the ‘ country.
Festivals and fairs are by no means
uncommon (with the exception of
the large world’s expositions) and
c- nerence has taught the person
who has attended any great number
of them, that outside of a mere lo¬
cal interest, they mean little indeed
to the world at large. This precon¬
ceived notion of the average festi
val or fair, is very probably respon
ihle for the fact that the Peach Bios
son, Festival has thus far not been
accorded the recognition that it de
serves.
► g Time alone can remedy this.
Fort Valley, in its elaborate
charming nageant “The Tra'l of
Pink Petals ’’had something to
the world this year; something
as a dramatic creation surpassed
many of the best known
of its kind; something that deserved
the recognition, not only of dramat¬
ic critics, but of every man and wo
j ! man who realizes the influence on
national character of the
and artistic elements of life.
This recognition will come to the
Peach Blossom Festival and the
companying pageant, if Fort Valley
is courageous enough to sustain its
present splendid and commendable
policy and carry it to a conclusion,
And Fort Valley will do this! Be
cause no people whose inspiration
has carried them as far as their won
j derful spirit has carried *’ tk-ooIp
of Fort Valley, will allow themselves
to be deprived of the just reward ot
a truly noble achievement by
ting their vision to become clouded
at the critical hour.
No one realizes better than the
writer, that the Peach Blossom Fes
tival was a stupendous undertaking
for a community the size of Fort
I ! ley; that it required the utmost in
unselfish co-operation; in days and
j evenings of hard work; in unlimited
faith in an ideal; and in a liberal out
lay of dollars and cents.
But the result was a success—a
striking and emphatic success.
Now what is to he the ultimate
outcome of all this? What has Fort
Valley to hope for by a continuance
of such strenuous effort, unselfish
! co-operation and unstinted expend.
ture of funds? There are many
j swers to these questions; and
are two distinct kinds of results to
( consider. the results from cal
There are a
tural and aesthetic point of

financial and industrial point

Considering for the cultural and
aesthetic, Fort Valley may expect a
continuance of its Peach Blossom
Festival on its present high plain, ty
become nationally recognized as a
community of truly cultured people.
It may expect to be recognized as an
intellectual community, which has a
true appreciation of aesthetic values
and has risen to a genuine interest
in the higher things of life. Thus it
will become one of the most impor¬
tant and potent factors in uphold¬
ing the prestige and real dignity of
the South. It will in turn be given
opportunities for development and
growth along these lines by the out¬
side world that but few communi¬
ties of its size are permitted to en¬
joy.
Considering the financial, commer¬
cial and industrial results which may
reasonably be expected to accrue
from a continuance of the Peach
Blossom Festival, one may safely say
that the ultimate net income de
rived from the Festival, directly and
indirectly will equal or greatly ex
ceed the expense of production.
N That the publicity incidental to
' the Festival will attract sound com
mercial enterprises to Fort Valley
j which will contribute their quota to
the general prosperity of every busi
ness organization in the city. That
i industrial corporations may be
j ested in Fort Valley as a desirable
( location, which ^ e * ten J e ^he right
kind of co-operation through the
chamber of commerce and other c.v.c
organizations will help to put the
j city on a sound and SELF SUSTAIN
! ING financial basis. That the ag?res
sive and progressive policy of
Valley will attract capital m the
form of investments in whatever

This you may say is
which is true. But that is all Jim Hill
had to work on when he built

And now about the pageant.
It was indeed a worthy
worthy in every sense of the word.
And as I watched scene after scene
of sustained and intricate action be¬
ing executed without a flaw, it was
difficult to realize that I was watch¬
ing the work of a cast composed en¬
tirely of non-professional talent. The
scenes were elaborate and beautiful;
the costumes were accurate in color
and design; the theme was appro
priate and the narrative movement
was logical; the sequence of
were inevitable.
The interpretive dancing was of a
thoroughly high standard and effect¬
ive in its appeal. And from a dramat¬
ic point of view; and the point of
view of sustained interest it

The work of Miss Oak and

curred in Fort Valley on March
and 20th of this year is of record.
These are but few and a very

When one has had the misfortune

dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills—and has found relief
from all this sickness and suffering,
that person’s advice is of untold val

sands, but it is that of a Fort Valley
resident. Who could ask for a better
example?
