History
Established in 1932.
In the early days of the Festival of Arts, a smash hit was the Living Pictures show created by artist and vaudevillian Lolita Perine. She dressed local residents in costume and seated them behind a makeshift frame. These paintings that came to life fascinated viewers of all ages. In 1935 Roy Ropp, a local construction worker, realtor and amateur artist, expanded Perine’s concept and developed the performance into its present-day format. Ropp renamed the new and improved event «The Spirit of the Masters,» and continued to design and produce it with resounding success until 1941. In 1936, the production was renamed yet again, for the last time, the «Pageant of the Masters.»
