Spirit of '76 |
"The Spirit of '76" is the backdrop and reason for this
re-creational film. A trio of Revolutionary soldiers in a fife and
drum corps.march onto a stage with a painted backdrop of a battlefield
and stage props of dirt, stones, and a broken wagon wheel..As in
the painting, the center drummer is a tall, older, white-haired
man in a white shirt and dark vest. On his left, the other drummer
is a young boy dressed in a uniform with a tricorner hat and boots
to the knee. On the right marches a dark-haired fife player with
a bandaged head, dressed in an unbuttoned uniform. The three march
in place and play a tune as smoke from the battlefield drifts behind
them. The soldiers, turn around and, march towards the backdrop,
and then off stage. A flash of smoke simulates canon fire, after
which the drummers and fife player return, still playing. As they
perform, a man in a uniform and tricorner hat enters behind them,
waving a large American flag. The corps continues to march in place
and play as the flag waves.
