DRAMATIC SILHOUETTE: THE SPIRIT OF '76

Thrown into shadow silhouette by a strong light placed behind a white
curtain, the figures of the young patriots appear. Music of fife and
drum in orchestra, clear, high, blood-stirring. First a small drummer-
boy passes, with a cocked hat, and poised drum-sticks. Then a boy of
the same age carrying a musket that is much too large for him. Then two
taller patriot lads, very soldier-like. Then a country boy with a hoe
over his shoulder. Then two figures, one playing a fife, the other a
drum. Then a lone patriot lad with a cocked hat and musket. Then
another drummer-boy. Then a boy with a flag, and a half dozen patriots
following him. The music grows fainter and fainter, as if with the
tread of marching feet.
