Like the "pulcherriwame hcibeto" thrown into the radiant circle of goddesses in the golden days of mythology, "Columbia, the gem of the ocean' fair as Aphrodite, queen of the western waste of waters," seems likely to prove an "apple of dis cord" in the gathering of nations and peo ples. But with air judicial as that of Paris of old on Mount Ida's top, and with ear attent, the Goddess of Liberty "pours oil on the troubled waters," after hearing the conflicting claims of the Egyptian, dieamy-eyed daughter of the mysterious Nile; the bronze Mound-builder, the plumed Aztec, the hardy Norseman, the jolly Hibernian and the unsophisticated African, while the prim Pilgrim Father jaws with the German and John China man. Part II finds the material or the drama shorn of its "embarrassment of riches" and presents the personnel to the audience in the successive groupings and costuming of the Aztecs, Indians, United States Navy, Thirteen Original States, Cavalry, Artillery, Infantry, Yankee Doo dles, Continental Boys and Mound Builders with the Goddess of Liberty always "in evidence."
