- Description:
- View of three unidentified actresses prior to their performance of the famed Ramona Outdoor Play, in the colorful Ramona Bowl in Hemet; they are all dressed as Spanish sen~oritas wearing elaborate peinetas (high ornamental combs) and "mantillas" (lace scarves worn over the head and shoulders). 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.
