DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 
 
 This patriotic celebration was especially designed 
 for presentation by business and industrial girls who 
 have not time for the rehearsals and practice nes- 
 sary in the production of dramatics requiring the 
 spoken word. 
 
 For use in the various War Camp Community 
 vService districts of greater New York, the follow- 
 ing theme and program have proven adequate and 
 have enabled the audience to interpret the scenes 
 without explanation or comment. 
 
 The accompaniment of national music with each 
 scene is farther clue to its interpretation. {See in- 
 structions). 
 
 THEME 
 
 The Daughters of the Nations assemble to cele- 
 brate the advent of World Freedom. 
 
 To the music of its National Anthem, each group 
 passing in review expresses the spirit of its people. 
 
 The final tableau depicts a union of the Daughters 
 of Freedom in which national characteristics are not 
 lost, but blend as mosaics in one great design.

 REQUIREMENTS 
 
 First of all a pianist able to pass easily and freely 
 without break from the music of one tableau into 
 the next. The addition of violin and other instru- 
 ments is most desirable. There should be a chorus 
 to sing the Japanese, Italian and Polish Hymns and 
 a^so the refrain of the Portuguese. These singers 
 need not be professionals. Very good results are 
 obtained by singing the national songs in unison, 
 especially where the harmonies are well brought out 
 by the instruments. 
 
 Next in importance is a draw curtain. The effect 
 of the tableau is very much better if curtains are 
 opened from the center, slowly, and closed from the 
 sides, always slowly. There should be a back cur- 
 tain of soft material hanging in folds. A dull ©Id 
 gold or very soft light brown is suggested. 
 
DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 5 
 
 The matter of lighting is also of greatest import- 
 ance. It is of course desirable that there be over- 
 head, side and foot lights for the stage, however if 
 overhead and side lights are not convenient, good 
 results can be obtained from footlights only pro- 
 vided there is a dimmer attachment. Where this 
 is not the case an electric dimmer can be rented and 
 any amature eletrician can attach it and after a lit- 
 tle practice can operate it. 
 
 Where the expense for costumes must be kept 
 down it will be found necessary to use dye and 
 silver paint. The costumes are simple and for the 
 most part can be made from old material. Old 
 sheets dyed and draped over old muslin slips ; also 
 old window curtains will dye in very soft shades. Old 
 canton flannel slips dye in mottles and are most 
 effective. Much depends upon the grouping of col- 
 ors, for help on this point see section " instructions." 
 
 The difficulty of foot-wear was met by elimin- 
 ating all shoes, suiting color of stockings to costume 
 and in some cases using a lacing ©f ribbon or shoe 
 strings over stocking feet. 
 
 Under " instructions " will be found descriptions 
 of dances, costumes and certain properties as well 
 as a list of music and where it may be obtained. 
 
 PROLOGUE 
 
 English Dance. Any English Country Dance of 
 rollicking nature may be used. (See ''Instruc- 
 tions'') Where the stage is deep enough for a 
 circle dance " Gathering Peascods " is recommended. 
 Where the stage is narrow use a dance done in long 
 formation ; " Old Mole " is suggested. (See '' in- 
 structions") 
 
 The girls wear skirts about twelve inches from 
 the floor. Of each couple one partner is in pink, 
 and one is in apple green. Little bonnets of same 
 
6 DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 
 
 material with ties floating, white waists and whit^ 
 stockings. 
 
 French Dance. Tourdion. {Chalif, see ''in- 
 structions") The girls wear, over a high waistline 
 foundation, streamers of purple, lavender, and pale 
 green crepe pap,er. The hair hanging in curls 
 bound with a band of green and a purple flower. 
 Slip should have short sleeves and be rather low 
 neck. White stockings laced with green and purple. 
 
 Belgium Dance. Dance Marienika. (See ''in- 
 structions") This is a Flemish folk song to the 
 chorus of which a simple circle dance with step-hopp 
 was arranged. 
 
 The costume is a short skirt of red with a black 
 sash knotted at the side, a white waist, a jaunty lit- 
 tle cap of black crepe paper with a touch of orange. 
 Stockings of black. 
 
 The English group enter from the left. {For 
 manner of entering see " instructio7is") Upon 
 finishing their dance they group themselves easily 
 to left of stage, watching the French dancers who 
 at once enter from right. {See "instructions") 
 Upon finishing, the French group themselves to 
 right of stage and all watch Belgian group who enter 
 from rear, singing. 
 
 As Belgium dance ends, the Brabaconne sounds 
 and Belgian group turn to rear of stage, opening cur- 
 tains to admit Belgium, a tall slender girl in long 
 white slip with girdle of gold cord having heavy 
 tassels, and carrying a large Belgium flag. She ad- 
 vances to center of stage, the Belgian dancers form 
 line on either side while in time to the music 
 the English and French dancers one by one ad- 
 vance, meeting at center front of stage, touch right 
 hands high in air as they greet Belgium, passing in 
 front of her they form a line on either side of the 
 Belgium dancers. If this is done correctly all the 
 dancers are moving to the music of the Brabaconne 
 
DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 7 
 
 at the same time and the color effect is very good, 
 with the fiigure of Belgium, in white, displaying 
 the flag on a high staff as a stationery center. 
 
 As all are in place, from piano comes imitation 
 drum roll, very faint but increasing. (// possible a 
 drum for this) As the light grows dim the English 
 and French group leave the stage and the Belgium 
 dancers draw close to the figure of Belgium. When 
 the stage is dark, draw the curtain and the drum roll 
 passes into some heavy chord-music with tragic- 
 theme, such as '' March Slonelle." (See instruc- 
 tions) 
 
 After two minutes this music must sweep into 
 Brabaconne which must be played in heavy harmon- 
 ies and most triumphant manner as the curtains are 
 drawn and in bright light Belgium is seen in a tat- 
 tered white robe which is stained with red. Above 
 her head in both hands held high is a stained, tat- 
 tered and staffless Belgum flag. The Belgium danc- 
 ers kneel at her feet with caps removed from heads 
 and with faces and hands uplifted toward Belgium. 
 The program caption under Belgium gives the girls 
 the idea and the whole must be a living picture of a 
 soul triumphant. 
 
 Curtain. 
 
 France. Before curtains are drawn the piano 
 begins the Marseillaise, very softly. As curtains 
 are drawn, in dim light, Joan is seen in profile at 
 center-rear of stage. She kneels as in prayer, with 
 hands clasped over hilt of sword. As music and 
 light increase she rises slowly, advances to center 
 front of stage and at the " March on " is posing 
 with sword held high and face lifted. (For costume 
 and for first pose see page 31 and for second pose 
 page 21 of Joan of Arc by Boute De Monvel. See 
 instructions) 
 
 Curtain. 
 
8 DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 
 
 Great Britain. As curtains are drawn England 
 stands on an elevated platform center stage. She 
 wears flowing robe of white with heavy draperies 
 of scarlet, over the right arm the Union Jack should 
 be interwoven among the draperies. She wears on 
 her head a silver helmet. (Made from a ten-cent hat 
 frame and silver paint) She holds a trumpet and as 
 the curtains part she plays a bugle call. (// a 
 woman trumpeter is not available the call may be 
 sounded from rear of stage or may even be imi- 
 tated by piano) As the call is finished, from the 
 right Canada enters, she wears loose robe of pale 
 green, and bears arms full of wheat. As she ad- 
 vances toward England the piano begins Rule 
 Britania. Canada stops at right of platform near 
 England, extending the wheat. As she does this. 
 India enters from the left. She is dressd in white 
 and draped in a purple sari which should be 
 heavily stenciled in gold. She carries in extended 
 hands a tray of jewels. (The women of India sold 
 their jewels in the common cause of freedom) She 
 advances to position left of England, opposite to 
 Canada. When she is in place Scotland in kiltie and 
 cap, enters from right. She carries the flaming 
 torch. (Of old this was a summons to war that 
 every Scot obeyed) She takes her place next to 
 Canada. Ireland now enters. She wears short 
 skirt of green, a white waist with black girdle and 
 white stockings. She carries white linen. 
 
 Australia and New Zealand both in smocks reach- 
 ing to knees, one of mahogany and one of orange, 
 {See instructions) enter from right and left simul- 
 taneously. They represent shepherds and each carry 
 a fleece. As all are in place Rule Britania is modu- 
 lated into the Kipling-De Koven Recessional. Eng- 
 land lowers the trumpet, steps from elevation to 
 level with colonies and all draw close together. 
 From above and rear a large Union Jack is lowered ; 
 
DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 9 
 
 all kneel, profile to audience but looking toward flag 
 while curtains are drawn slowly. The refrain 
 *' Lord God of Hosts Be With Us Yet " sung very 
 softly after the curtains c'ose is a very effective end- 
 ing and helps with the interpretation of the last part 
 of the scene which is meant to express the feeling 
 of Great Britain as a nation, not of England and her 
 various colonies. 
 
 Curtain. 
 
 Japan. Before the curtains are drawn the chorus 
 begin to sing softly the Japanese National Hymn. 
 This hymn is so short but so very unique that it 
 should be repeated. When the chorus have sung 
 half way through the first time, the curtains slowly 
 open disclosing in dim light, Japan in rich kimono, 
 (See instructions) standing on elevation center rear 
 of stage. Her arms are extended with palms of 
 hands raised, Japanese style, over two small kneel- 
 ing figures in white, at her feet. As song and light 
 increase these figures rise taking the out-raised 
 hands of Japan, slowly leading her down from ele- 
 vation, out to front of platform. As they turn 
 to do this it is seen they wear the Japanese Red Cross 
 costume. All three pose at front of stage till hymn 
 is finished and curtains close. 
 Curtain. 
 
 Italy. Italy is a tableau of symbolic figures 
 in the form of a frieze. These figures should 
 be placed close as in a panel painting such as Sar- 
 gent's well known frieze of the prophets. The tall- 
 est figure should be in the center and shortest at 
 each end. that is. the height of figures should dim- 
 inish from center to both ends of panel. The color., 
 must give the impression of a rich painting. (Sec 
 instructions) . 
 
 xA.s chorus sings the Garibaldi Hymn, the cur- 
 
10 DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 
 
 tains are drawn disclosing the tableau. 
 
 The central figure, Italy, is in ivory white, her 
 draperies are of the same material and color as her 
 robe. {Sec instructions) On left arm she bears 
 a silver shield and in right hand a large Italian flag 
 on a staff which rests on the floor. She wears a silver 
 helmet on her head. At the right of Italy is Rome, 
 a madonna in a gown of old rose draped in dull, 
 dark blue with silver stencil — this drape covers her 
 head. Her left hand is placed above her heart and 
 in right hand she holds a vestal virgin lamp. 
 
 On the left of Italy is a figure representing 
 Beatriche d'Este, patroness of art and learning. 
 She personifies Florence. Her gown is of black, 
 and is tight-fitting, like a princess slip, is cut low 
 and square in neck and has stencil of gold. Over 
 her shoulders is draped a cape of heavy black lined 
 with crimson ; on her head she wears a plain tight 
 fitted little bonnet or head-dress of jewels. (See 
 instructions) She holds in her hands a large open 
 book. 
 
 At the right of Rome stands Genoa, the city of 
 Golumbus. She is in a costume of sea green and 
 hoMs in her hands a large globe. 
 
 On the left of Florence stands Venice, also in sea 
 green, of a lighter shade than that worn by Genoa — 
 there should be splashes of silver paint over this 
 costume; she holds a silver trident. At eiiiier end 
 of this frieze are small figures in shades of purple, 
 orange and green ; these represent vineyards and 
 orchards. The vineyards should wear a short slip 
 of shaded purple Vv'ith girdle of green — the orchards 
 a short slip of shades of apricot and yellow with 
 green girdle. Each bear large trays of fruit. (See 
 instructions) 
 
 Curtain. 
 
 Portugal. This country of fearless navigators is 
 
DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM • ii 
 
 represented by a girl who is able to sing a solo. 
 
 ]n a costume of deep green and silver, with drap- 
 eries of marine blue, and holding a large Portuguese 
 flag she sings the verse of the stirring Portuguese 
 hymn, the chorus reinforcing her with the ** To 
 Arms Then," etc. She should be in place — center- 
 front of stage — when the curtains are drawn, and 
 remain in p^ace until the curtains are closed. 
 Ciirtain. 
 
 Balkans. As the curtains open the entire hall 
 should be in darkness and the Serbian hymn should 
 be heard. The stage light is slowly turned on and 
 a black figure, Oppression, is seen on elevation in 
 center rear of stage. About her feet are crouching 
 figures covered with du'A brown, gray, bAie and 
 purple draperies. 
 
 The light must increase very slowly. One by 
 one these figures rise, very slowly, and as the music 
 increases they advance to the front of stage, the 
 dark drapery must fall away slowly leaving exposed 
 the bright native costume, but, each figure appears 
 with wrists chained ; one has hands behind her ; 
 another, wrists chained, holds hands high over head ; 
 still another has her hands extended in front at 
 arm's length ; another has hands hanging in front. 
 
 The light brightens as the last figure reaches frort 
 of stage. The music increases, the Roumanian, Al- 
 banian and Montenegren hymns may also be played, 
 and the wrists are wrenched free, the chains fall- 
 ing to the floor. As the chains fall. Oppression is 
 seen to slowly disappear through curtain at rear 
 of stage, and the Balkan states form a star in the 
 center of the stage, with right hands joined, and 
 each in the left hand holds her state flag, which un- 
 til th's moment, has been concealed under apron or in 
 bolero. (Sec instruction) 
 
 Curtain. 
 
12 DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 
 
 Poland. As the chorus sings the Polish hymn 
 the curtains are drawn disclosing a girl in costume 
 of Polish grey Samaritan Nurse. (See instructions) 
 She holds a large flag staff in a horizontal position, 
 and as the chorus sings she slowly unfurls the crim- 
 son flag of Poland. 
 
 The first and third verses of the hymn should 
 be sung and at the words " The White Eagle's Glor- 
 ious Flight," she steps forward and lifts the banner 
 high over head, taking care to display the White 
 Eagle. This must be done impressively. The un- 
 furling of a heavy flag from a horizonal staff re- 
 quires practice. 
 
 Curtain. 
 
 ZroN. As traditional Hebrew music is played, 
 (See instructions) the curtains open, disclosing a 
 figure in white, bearing the seven branched candle 
 stick. Th girl taking this part should be tall and 
 have dark hair. The robe should be loose and if 
 some heavy white material such as pure white can- 
 ton flannel, a very sheer soft veil of delft blue 
 caught by a band of silver about the flowing hair 
 should shimmer over the robe. As she stands with 
 candle-stick held high the stage is slowly darkened. 
 (The entire house should be in darkness for the 
 scene) W^hen the stage is entirely dark the figure 
 of Zion by the dim light of the burning candles is 
 seen to wander slowly about the stage, then sink 
 down center-rear facing away from the audience 
 so that the candles are no longer visible, only the 
 light from them is seen. Then the stage light is 
 slowly turned on and as it brightens, from the 
 right, appears a figure representing the help of 
 Great Britain, and from the left a figure represent- 
 ing the help of America. These figures are robed 
 in pure white material, the same as that worn by 
 Zion. Each bears in out-stretched arms, seemingly 
 
DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 13 
 
 draped from shoulders a sheer veil, colored in the 
 design of the flag of her nation. {See instructions^ 
 These figures advance to Zion and as they bend 
 above her she rises and turns. The candlestick 
 is held extended waist high. The figure of Great 
 Britain and America each extend a hand to sup- 
 port the hands of Zion, and as the three figures ad- 
 vance to center front, the candlestick is slowly lifted 
 high, by all three — Zion alone holding the stick, but 
 America and Great Britain uplifting the hands of 
 Zion. In this closing pose, the flag veils of the sup- 
 porting figures seem to fall from the extended can- 
 dlestick, and shadow the figures. {See instructions) 
 Curtain. 
 
 CzECHO Slovakia. For this scene use Bohemian 
 Folk music. {See instructions) In a dim light 
 Libuse, the early queen of Bohemia, {zvho zvas a 
 prophetess and foretold the national freedom of 
 her race) is seen seated on an elevation at rear left 
 of stage. A very good effect is produced by having 
 her seated in a shaft of dim light, and one by one 
 dancers enter, advancing in the line of light, singing 
 as they come. When stage is filled, in a quick flash 
 the stage is lighted and a spirited dance is given. 
 {For costumes see instructions) 
 Curtain. 
 
 America. Amerca is represented by two tableaus 
 A and B. A — No music is heard as the curtains 
 are drawn. In bright light, center stage on eleva- 
 tion, stands a tall slender girl. Costume of a red 
 cross nurse. On her right stands a sailor and on 
 her left a marine. They look up to her smiling; one 
 of her hands rest lightly on a shoulder of each. As 
 the curtains open the pianist plays Columbia the Gem 
 of the Ocean, and the audience joins the chorus as 
 the curtains are closed on the tableau. 
 
H DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 
 
 Following this song and before tableau B, should 
 be a moment of quiet, during which, very faintly 
 are heard strains of " America," just an intimation 
 of the melody, in soft harmonies. Then as the cur- 
 tains open, silence. For tableau B, in bright light 
 pose the Albert Herter poster. (See instructions) 
 As the curtains are closed the Star Spangled Ban- 
 ner is sung by the entire audience. 
 
 NEW WORLD SYMPHONY 
 
 This is a tableau made by grouping figures used 
 in all scenes and while it is being placed the musi- 
 cians play the Largo of Dvoraks' " New World Sym- 
 phony," this is continued during the tableau and as 
 curtains close should modulate into some triumphant 
 march such as March from Athalia. 
 
 As a back ground for this tableau the flags of all 
 the allies should be grouped about the stars and 
 stripes. 
 
 Belgium in her tattered robe may be the central 
 figure; Tableau figure of America A on left and 
 America B on right. If size of stage will permit 
 the dancers should be seated in groups in front of 
 standing figures. 
 
 The various properties have all been laid aside and 
 each person holds hand of neighbor.

 COSTUMES 
 
 " Costumes and Scenery for Amateurs " by Con- 
 stance Darcy Mackay. Henry Holt Co., New York, 
 19 West 44th Street, price $1.75. This contains il- 
 lustrations and descriptions for various costumes," 
 patterns for which may be had from the Buttrick 
 Pattern Company. 
 
 JOAN OF ARC 
 
 See the book " Joan of Arc " by Boute De Monvel, 
 (the edition in French), available in every library. 
 On page 31 Joan is seen kneeling at coronation of 
 King; use this pose, substituting a sword for the 
 banner. For last pose see page 21 same book. 
 Joan's hair should be arranged to look as if 
 " bobbed." This can be done by rolling it at sides 
 over the ears. 
 
 GREAT BRITAIN 
 
 Australia and New Zealand should be smaller 
 than the other girls who form the Great Britain 
 group. Their smocks should be roughly knotched 
 at knees, elbows and throat, of some course ma- 
 terial, burlap or rough crash. They should wear 
 hair loose and each wear brown stockings. Scot- 
 land and Ireland should wear hair in soft coil at 
 neck. Canada coiled high on head. 
 
 JAPAN 
 
 Should be of dark complexion with hair dressed 
 in Japanese style, (see Japanese picture), paper 
 chrysanthemums of color to agree with kimono, 
 should be worn at each ear. 
 
i6 DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 
 
 ITALY 
 
 Italy, the central figure of the Italian tableau, 
 should wear a draped robe of ivory white. For 
 this, canton flannel or old muslin may be used. To 
 obtain the old ivory tint, dip the material in hot 
 water to which a very little brown dye has been 
 added. Then wring the material. This will cause 
 the shaded appearance desired. A stencil border of 
 dull brown is advised. 
 
 The jeweled head dress of the figure represent- 
 ing Florence may be made of a gold cord formed 
 into a large meshed net, and ornamented with colored 
 glass beads or buttons. 
 
 The trays of fruit should be large and heaped 
 high, as this would make them heavy it is best to 
 heap up orange and brown and dull red paper with 
 a few oranges, apples, lemons and green leaves. 
 
 BALKAN STATES 
 
 For costumes of the Balkan states use skirts of 
 bright colors, or if black or white are used, they 
 must be banded with bright colors. All four figures 
 must wear different colors. Two figures may wear 
 lap aprons and bodices laced in front. Two may 
 wear small bright bolero jackets, a bright band of 
 ribbon may be worn about the hair or a head dress 
 of bright figured silk. 
 
 POLAND 
 
 The Polish grey samaritian nurse costume is a 
 long cape of blue-grey and a small cap of same ma- 
 terial. The cape entirely covers the dress. 
 
 ZION 
 
 The flag veils used in the Zion tableau may be 
 made from white tarletan— each should be a full 
 
[ 
 
 DAUGHTERS OF FREEDOM 17 
 
 width of tarletan, and in length, one and three quar- 
 ter yards. On this tarletan draw the design of the 
 flag and with a brush dipped in red ink, diluted with 
 water, paint red parts. Blue ink diluted with 
 water will give the right blue. When painting is 
 dry the flags should be pulled and stretched corner- 
 wise to soften the material which is otherwise too 
 stiff with dressing. The painting must not be heavy, 
 the effect desired is a mere " vision " or " sugges- 
 tion " of the flags. As the figures enter, the ex- 
 tended arms are piled with this sheer color and as 
 position of final pose of the scene is taken, the hand 
 supporting the candlestick lifts the side of the flag 
 veil high, (the flag should he attached to a finger of 
 each hand by means of a loop of tape), while the 
 other hand is extended diagonally backward this 
 position of arms should display flag veils and form 
 a screen through which the figure is seen. The 
 three figures of this scene should wear the hair fall- 
 ing over the shoulders in waves. 
 
 CZECHO SLOVAKIA 
 
 In the Czecho Slovakia scene the queen should 
 wear a foundation slip of purple and gold, with over 
 dress of white tarleton, (which has been softened), 
 this should be draped over arms and entirely cover 
 the underslip. 
 
 An excellent illustration of Slovak holiday cos- 
 tume is the colored plate in front of ** Folk dances 
 of Bohemia," (see dances). 
 
 AMERICA 
 
 American tableau B is a pose representing the 
 Albert Herter poster. This was reproduced in the 
 colors in the February number of the Woman's 
 Home Companion, and should be carried out ex- 
 actly, as to detail and color.
