Scope and content
Cast members of the outdoor drama "Saga of the West," costumed to represent different time periods, pose in front of the reverse side of one of the massive sets used in the pageant. The outdoor pageant would be produced July 20-22, 1939 as a part of the celebration of Washington's Golden Jubilee. The Saga had a cast of 2,000 and covered the history of Washington from its earliest times to 1939. To eliminate the need for microphones on the stage, all narration was handled by seven actors in the press box speaking over microphones.
