Under a sky in which the glorious glow of the moon battled with vary- ing success against the lowering clouds, while the incense of ancient Iran floated fragrant on the breeze, the new poem-play by Gideon A. Lyon, the well known Washington Journalist, was given its first per- | i for | formance on the lawn of the Chevy|Lewl Lieut. Pitts, | Chase School, last evening, under the San | direction of the dramatic committee the Arts Club of Washington, Marie Moore Forrest, chairman, and Denis 1. Connell, director. The stately portaled entrance of the school furnished an admirable stage structure, with the semi-cireular pace in' front as a fitting scene for much of the action. Concealed on the portico to the left incidental | music was exquisitely played by art- ists who must remain unknown, while the illumination and lighting effects were operated from improvised wings on the law | The audience, quite a large one, truly represented the culture of Washington's social life, and its ver- dict hoth as to the play and the play- ers left no room for doubt that a fine work had been brilliantly pre- sented. Mr. Lyon has adapted the iambic tetrameter for the form of his verse, and its rhythm and accent were | stlondidly attuned by the various! vers in the interesting dialogue. The theme of the play is the fatal- ism of foreordination, and itg inspiration from * of Omar Khayyam, for is of that dreamy mystic and s two lifeloug companions, Nizam Ul Mulk, who became the vizier of the Sultan_ Alp and Hassan lIbn Sabbal, whose overweening ambi- tion- and the crupulous methods by which it < fostered, ultimately led to his downfall. The story school of Mowaffak, & 1040 A.D. where the then =~ youthful students, make @& blood vow that each will share with the other his success achieved in after life. The second act, twenty vears later, finds Omar and Hassan come to claim the fulfillment of the vow by Nizam, who has risen high in the state, while they, so far as material wealth is con- cerned, have failed. Here the sultan, Alp Arslan, in generous mood, assu the obligation of his vizier, Nizam, ahd Hassan is given rank and office, while Omar, who men say can name the stars, is given a post in which his talents may shine for beloved Iran's good. All too €oon the character of Hassan begins to manifest itself in a willingness to In- trigue with the Princess Toorkan Kha- toon, who strives to have her infant son designated to succeed the occupant of the throne, after having failed to tempt the Joyalty of Nizam to Prince Malik, who already had been chosen. Ten years later, in the same throne room the sultan, the denouement comes, bringing the dismissal of Hassan from the court and the assassination of Nizam, while In the quickly following cpilogue Omar enveloped with a faint. mystic light, sums up the whole in five stunzas takin from the Rubaivat. In no part of the impressive play has the author gone out of his way jto secure effects so famlliar in Jmodern playwriting. The text | throughout is natural, musical and has a dignity that commands at- ltention. No "doubt this first per- iformance suggested possible improve- ments both in the play and in the manner of Its presentation. There is little doubt that both the author and his mimics have the ability and the skill to meet them. This much may be said with unshaken confi- dence, that no first performance of professio even that of the Ameri- can National Theater which was re- jcently given in Washington, was freer from defect than that of last jevening, and this in the face of diffi- jculties ' that no professional cast {would ever have to meet. The characterizations of the illus- trious trio were vividly and artisti cally drawn, a most difficult task for those whose whole time and train- ing have not been devoted to the Arthur B. White, as Hassan, no’ less than Theodore Hardy as Alp Arslan, while the gentle, dreaming Omar found fair and faithful reflection in the work of Denis E. Connell, and the dignified and unwavering fidelity of Nizam, despite the strain of the role, found a faithful reflex in Maurice Jarvis.
