1934 Rose Festival 1934 Rose Festival

Portland, the Friendly City—the City of Roses, bids you welcome on the occasion of your visit here for the Twenty-sixth Annual Portland Rose Festival.

Whether you come as neighbors from nearby communities, or as friends from distant commonwealths, we greet you, and sincerely say to one and to all, "For You a Rose in Portland Grows.”

This year, the Portland Rose Festival has an added significance because of the presence of so many guests from the Dominion of Canada here to attend the sessions of the first convention of the Canadian Legion ever held in the United States; and, also, because of the coming to Portland of so many rose lovers and garden enthusiasts in connection with the National Convention of the American Rose Society.

We hope you will enjoy your stay here. All Portland is eager and anxious to be gracious hosts.

For four full days and nights, with fun and frolic, amid pomp and pageantry, Portlanders and their guests will join in a glorious tribute to that most beautiful of flowers—the Rose.

This official program contains pertinent information relative to the Rose Festival which we believe you will find both interesting and helpful.

We hope you will carry away with you, when this Twenty-sixth Annual Portland Rose Festival becomes history, many pleasant memories of your stay in Portland and in the Realm of Rosaria!

Cordially yours,

Hillman Lueddemann, President, Portland Rose Festival Association.

DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS

Portland's first Rose Festival was held in 1907.

In June each succeeding year, with the exception of the war year of 1918 and the year 1926 when Portland built her stadium, the people of Portland and their guests have paused to pay homage to the rose.

This year, 1934, marks the 26th Rose Festival, the Silver Jubilee anniversary of a now world famous civic fete.

To tell the story in full of 26 Rose Festivals, of which each event of each Festival rightfully has earned column upon column in local newspapers as well as the press of the nation, would take far more space than is available here. Only highlights can be touched upon. Only generalities can be mentioned. Due credit cannot always be given.

In a sentence, however, it is the story of billions of roses, the tramp of two million feet, the cheers of ten million spectators, the procession of a thousand and one symbolic floats, the presentation of unrivaled modern day pageantry, and of brilliant days and enchanting nights.

To the Portland Rose Society, which held its first annual exhibit of roses in 1889, goes the credit for the origination of the Rose Festival idea. The annual Rose Shows long had attracted attention. Ambitious, the society sponsored a floral parade in 1904, on June 10. There were decorated vehicles — bicycles, surreys, phaetons and carryalls, and there were four decorated automobiles entered by the significantly named "Push Club.''

The parade was a success, even though the exceedingly frank reporter of the Oregon Journal wrote: "The automobile section was well nigh a failure. The spectators had to wait almost an hour to see four automobiles go by.” The automobile parade was repeated, however, the following Sunday when 20 of the horseless carriages chugged over the route.

It had been the hope of the sponsors that such a parade would be the feature of the Lewis and Clark exposition, in 1905, but such was not the case. Not until the spring of 1907 was the floral parade idea again broached. Frederick Holman, then president of the Rose Society, called together some of the civic leaders, and out of the meeting came not only a floral parade, but a two-day Rose Festival. It was held on June 20 and 21, and E. W. Rowe, who with John F. Carroll, H. L. Pittock, William P. Strandborg, Mr. Holman and others shared the original idea, was named president.

There was a gorgeous rose and floral exhibit in the Forestry building; there was the first "human rosebud” parade of 2000 Portland school children, and there was a brilliant floral parade, with both the horse and horseless carriages. Prizes totaling $4000 were awarded. The first Rose Festival was a tremendous success— so much so that less than a week later, on June 27, 1907, articles of incorporation were filed at Salem by the Rose Festival Association, which declared its purpose to hold an annual Rose Fete. Capital stock was $10,000. The incorporators were H. L. Pittock, E. W. Rowe, E. F. Cameron, George L. Hutchin, J. S. McCord, E. B. McFarland, W. Wynne Johnson, C. N. Black, Chester A. Whitemore and E. M. Brannick.

The year 1908 proved to be a memorable one. The Rose Festival lasted an entire week, starting June 1. There was a king, Rex Oregonus, and a queen, Miss Carrie Lee Chamberlain, daughter of Governor Chamberlain. Miss Chamberlain was "Queen Flora.” There was the school children’s parade, the rose show, the floral parade with more than 200 entries, but the feature was the first night electrical parade, called "The Spirit of the Golden West.” In this parade were many imposing allegorical floats. An epochal crowd of 150,000 thrilled to the brilliant pageantry. Distinguished visitors included Walter Damrosch, America’s best-known conductor; the famous singer, Mme. Lillian Nordica, and Rear Admiral Swinburne, who brought two U. S. navy cruisers and five torpedo boats to the Portland harbor.

From 1909 to 1913 there were no major changes in the Rose Festival programs. Each lasted a week, a period found too lengthy in recent years of more restricted leisure. Rex Oregonus ruled each year, General Owen Sumners, William C. Bristol, Ralph Hoyt and others enacting the role. In 1910 it is interesting to note

Rose Festival

A Float of Former Years

there were "five miles of decorated runabouts, roadsters, electric vehicles and ponderous trucks” in the parade. One float was an airplane, made of roses. Occupants of a special six-car trolley train scattered 1,000,000 roses to the downtown crowds. In 1911 there was a flying exhibition by Eugene Ely at the Country Club. In 1913 the Royal Rosarians entered the picture, assuming the important part which has been theirs in every succeeding Rose Festival.

In 1914 came a change, in that Rex Oregonus was dethroned as Ruler of Rosaria, and in his stead reigned a queen, Miss Thelma Hollingsworth, Queen Thelma 1. George Baker, not yet entered upon his long career as mayor, that year was "superintendent of amusements.” Ever since he has been one of the biggest factors in the continued triumphs of the Rose Festival. The 1914 Festival was four days in length.

In 1915 Miss Sybil Baker ruled as Rose Festival queen June 9, 10, and 11. A new feature was a children’s chorus of 2700 voices. In 1916 the Festival was four days in length, and was an all-Columbia River event. Miss Muriel Saling of Pendleton, and a former Round-up queen, was queen of the Rose Festival, and she entertained King Neptune and Queen Tynne of the Astoria Regatta as her guests. A memorable feature that year was the dedication June 7 of the Columbia River Highway. In 1917, the first war year, the Festival theme was patriotic in nature. The climax was the unveiling of a statue of Liberty in the Festival Center. In 1918 war activities caused a halt in the annual procession of Rose Festivals.

The.1919 celebration was the "Victory Rose Festival” and the Festival Center in the Park blocks drew tremendous throngs to hear a chorus of 5000 trained voices. A high peak in Rose Festival history was reached in 1920, when the Festival and the national Shrine convention practically were merged into one. Queen Claire (Mrs. Cameron Squires) and her subjects viewed a $50,000 night electrical parade.

In 1921 Queen Dorothy Metschan (Mrs. Willard Hawley, Jr.) was crowned in a beautiful ceremony staged in Laurelhurst Park. A fleet of U. S. warships and two Canadian destroyers came to the Portland harbor, and the Royal Rosarian

June 11 to 14, 1954

Electrical Float of 1912

Queen’s ball vied with popularity with the "Admiral's Ball” on one of the cruisers. In 1922 Queen Harriet Griffith (Mrs. Zina A. Wise) viewed a grand floral parade in which floats of Vancouver, B. C., San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Seattle, McMinnville, Salem, Sandy, Newberg, Prineville, Albany and other points were entered. Lucy Lee Thomas was queen in 1923 and the children’s "human rosebud” parade was revived, with 8000 participating under the direction of the veteran Robert Krohn, who also had drilled the first children's parades. A fine five-mile floral parade was held; there was a spectacular fireworks display at the baseball grounds, and the Portland section of the Old Oregon Trail was dedicated. In 1924 Mrs. Josephine H. Forney became permanent secretary of the Rose Festival. The program that year was conservative but pleasing.

The first of the great Rose Festival pageants was the highlights of the 1925 program. This was the extravaganza, "Rosaria,” directed by Doris Smith, now internationally famous in the dramatic field. Charles Wakefield Cadman wrote the musical scores adn Anthony Euwer the poetical adaptations. Two thousand were in the cast. There was the usual fine grand floral parade, and in addition there was a Merrykhana "fun” parade. The next festival, in 1927, again saw the pageant "Rosaria” produced on a more elaborate scale in the new Civic Stadium, built in 1926. In 1928 the third of the extravaganzas was staged. This was "Where Rolls the Oregon,” written by Dean Collins. In 1929 a circus was the chief Festival attraction.

New pages in the history of the Rose Festival were turned in 1930 when the Festival was placed on a popular, non-commercial basis. Financing was achieved by the sale of Festival Membership Pass Buttons, which admitted holders to events. The queen and her seven princesses, heretofore chosen by selected groups or by contests, were named from the graduating classes of Portland’s eight coeducational high schools. Featured events were the rose show, the coronation in Laurelhurst Park, a mammoth children’s exhibition in Multnomah Stadium, the grand floral parade, an aviation show, a night river regatta and pyrotechnic display, and a Mardi Gras night. The dates were June 12, 13, 14 and 15. The Festival was a great success, due largely to the efforts of John A. Laing and Aaron M. Frank. The Festival in 1931 was along much the same lines, with

Rose Festival

Queen Rachel (Rachel Atkinson of Lincoln High School) as Rosaria’s ruler. P. L. Jackson was president, and the dates were June 11-14. A special feature was the dedication of the St. Johns bridge. In 1932 Frances Kanzler of Washington High School ruled with seven high school princesses. A new feature was the Junior Rose Festival at Peninsula Park. This year saw the illuminated night river display reaching a high state of development, and promising to make subjects of Rosaria forget their vivid memories of the old electrical parades. The 1932 Festival dates were June 16-18.

The Silver Jubilee anniversary of the Rose Festival was celebrated June 8 to 11, 1933, with Walter W. R. May as president and with Miss Jean Stevenson of Jefferson High School as queen and with princesses from each of the other high schools of the city. A new and entertaining feature of the Silver Jubilee Festival was the presentation in Festival Center of the fairy play, "Alice in Wonderland,” by the Portland Civic Theater school. The illuminated marine pageant and the junior Rose Festival Pageant again were attractive features and the grand floral parade had more outside participants than in any former Festival. This last event brought vast throngs to Portland from participating communities of the Pacific Northwest.

We now are staging the 26th annual Rose Festival, June 11 to 14, 1934, in conjunction with the annual convention of the British Columbia Command, Canadian Legion, and the annual convention of the American Rose Society. This is the first time that a Canadian Legion convention ever has been held outside the British Empire and the first time that an American Rose Society convention has been held west of the Mississippi River. Programs of the Festival and the two conventions have been blended and many outstanding attractions for the entertainment of the vast throngs of visitors who will be in the "City of Roses” for the various events, are being provided.
