THE CHEVALIER'S RETURN 



Another set of local but typical Iroquois scenes was presented on the 

 shore of Lake Beebe at Ithaca in May, 191 5. For a plot, the drama called 

 The Glory of the Morning, a Winnebago tale," was used in the main. By 

 permission of the author, Mr. William Ellery Leonard, and with the 

 generous aid of Mr. Arthur C. Parker of the Bureau of Ethnology at 

 Albany, the proper names and the allusions were changed so as to make 

 the play fit the Cayuga region and the traditions and customs of Iroquois

Indians. With this plot was combined a detailed background of indus- 

 tries and amusements for young and old, men, women, and children. 

 Over a thousand feet of moving picture film was made of these scenes, 

 and is entitled The Chevalier's Return. By request and by making proper 

 guarantees for the use of this film, these scenes can be repeated for the 

 pleasure of thousands of persons throughout New York State this winter 

 in granges and schools, in vestries and town halls. The scenario is given 

 here in brief.
