KIWANIANS Y ] 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 1 and the results from the financial and industrial point ’ view. i THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY.

Bring your lady, DON'T MISS IT! ms ,p,:.•• 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 !

But that is all Jim Hill had to work on when he built Great Northern and Northern ic Railway systems through the derness of the West. 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.
