Darkness and Light
The Great Missionary Pageant
The New Arena—April 28 to May 26
Thousands of participants, men, women and children from local
churches. Grand Choir, trained soloists, great orchestras, gorgeous cos
tumes and beautiful scenery—wonderful light effects.
A magnificent presentation of the great historical events in the de
velopment of Christianity throughout the world.
This great missionary pageant was originally produced in London
several years ago. In America it has been given in Boston, Baltimore,
Cincinnati and Chicago, and in each instance the crowds have been so
great that people have been turned away at almost every performance.
Ft is spectacular and dramatic, yet it
carries with it a deep spiritual message
that is never forgotten by those who take
part in it, or who see and hear it.
William Howland, head of the vocal de
partment of the Detroit Institute of Musi
cal Art, who has been selected to train
and direct the grand chorus* of the
Pageant describes the production fol
lows.
"The five episodes erf ‘Darkness and
Light’ appeal to the highest and loftiest
elements of our nature. They bring vivid
ly before us the living truth.
“The Pageant O a combination of
sacred grand opera and dramatic oratorio
sung and dramatically described by men,
women, and children, soloists, choruses,
orchestra, costumes, wonder
ful scenic and lighting effects and as a
climax of it all the magnificent tableaux
in each scene, portraying the triumph of
humanity and the Gospel of light over
darkn cas.**
Singers and Platform Participants Still
Needed
There are still opportunities for those
who desire to take part in the Pageant,
bass, tenor and contralto voices for the
grand choir are especially needed. Also
a hundred or more additional men and
