BROOKLYN LIFE 12 The Pageant of the Pilgrims by the Flatbnsh School Among the earliest of the tercentenary celebrations of the Landing of Pilgrims will 'be the Pageant, which is to be staged at the Academy of Music next week Saturday by the Flatbush School. Two hundred and fifty children of the school will appear in its various scenes and will show the. Pilgrim story, originating in England and reaching its climax in Plymouth. The progress from England, through Holland to America, will give ample opportunity for variety 6f peoples and costume, as well as background for quaint dances and entertainment. It gives added interest to note that most of the dialogue is the work of the children, and much of the plan has been worked out by them.

A few of the principal characters are May Queen, Jo Johnson Priscilla, Lora Ogdon, Allegra Uelinger, Dorothy Little John Alden, Billy Reed, Charles Putnam William Brewster, John Thompson, Robert Kristeller, Malcolm O'Mara; William Bradford, John Hodgson; John Robinson, Frederick Corey, Richard Dunham; Burgomeister, Eric Coxon; Squanto, Edwin Miles Standish, Robert Baylis; and Herald, Catherine Carroll. young woman in an evening gown, and then she will come out in.a striking medieval costume of gold cloth, with an elaborate headdress. In her modern garb she will be seen in a specialty in which she stands alone and which is full of entertainment, First, by herself, she will give, impersonating all the characters, a little play. On this night it will be one of her own, "The Letter of Introduction." Then will come the "stunt." Anyone in the audience may suggest a theme, a scheme, an idea, a plot. Miss Thompson will take it then and there, as it is given to her, and will elaborate it into a real, rapid-fire miniature play, with actual dialogue.

On the spot she will build an original, impromptu playlet, before the audience's very eyes. Her selections, in her medieval gown, are to be medieval ballads, "The Gay Goss Hawk," "Count Gari" and "The Lady Turned Serving Man." The duos (not duets), on two pianos that form yet another part of the program are to be given by Miss Helen Wright and Mrs. Mary Thornton McDermott, in modernized classic gowns of gold and blue. Their numbers will be: Bach's Fugue in minor; Arensky's "Silhouettes," Polichinelle, Le Reveur and Coquette Saint Saens' Danse Macabre. Mr.
