PAGEANTS AND PLAYS OF PIONEERS: COMMEMORATION THE CENTENNIAL OF TEXAS….
Jeston Dickey & Bessie Lee Dickey Roselle
San Antonio: Carleton Printing Co., 1935. 162pp. Pictorial wrappers. First edition. SIGNED by Bessie Lee Dickey Roselle. Externally, some spotting to the covers with a small (approx. ½”) gnawed area at the bottom edge of the front cover. Internally, the pages show uniform tanning due to paper quality with some minor chipping. Overall, a good copy—much better than usually found. This Centennial piece is a collection of plays celebrating Texas. There are a total of ten plays and pageants covering historical events, important Texans, pioneer women of Texas, experiences of the early settlers, etc. There is dialogue for each character, costume, set, property, lighting, etc. for the various plays.
