The Passing Parade (1912)
On Decoration Day, the veterans are marching and the band is playing "The Star Spangled Banner." A crowd of girls hear the music and drop their work to see the passing parade. The parade passes by a home where two lovers are buried in thoughts of love, the strain reaches their ears, and they view the parade and pay their hearts' reverence to the passing heroes. It passes the home of a family in the throes of their own enjoyment, the faraway music grows louder, they recognize the air and they, as the rest, step out to see the parade. A schoolteacher tells her children of the truthfulness of George Washington as a boy and most beautifully does there appear a picture of Washington as a little fellow who chopped down his father's cherry tree and then told the truth when asked who did it. And last is seen two fine noble old soldiers at a garden table refreshing themselves with a mint julep. One was of the North in "65" and the other was true to his South, but today they clasp hands ,both true to their own grand old Red, White and Blue.
