- Description:
- A group of unidentified actors dressed as Indians enact a funeral scene, as the spirit of the "deceased" stands on a rock at the rear, during the performance of the famed Ramona Outdoor Play, in the colorful Ramona Bowl in Hemet. Each Spring from 1923 onward, with only brief interruptions during the Depression and during World War II, the people of Hemet and San Jacinto have presented this spectacular dramatization of Helen Hunt Jackson's immortal love story of the Indian maiden Ramona. The dramatization is said to take place on the actual locale of the historical facts in the play. Photo dated: April 1937.
