RIS CLUB VS THO SHORT LA Productions of Committee i Presented Last Night at Club House. Plashes of poetry, philosophy and art awere revealed in the two one-act plays presented by the dramatic committee of the Washington Arts Club last eve- ning at the club house, 2017 I street. Particularly was this e of the sec- ond of the two playlets, he Duchess Says Her Prayers,” presented with an | ease and ability far above that usually | seen in the work of amateurs. | ‘The first skit, a fant: Bradle; trea in a bantering, ner the subject of “I and its influences upon those poetically and romantically inclined. The story| told of a youth who thought he had lost the girl of his heart. In a park, surrounded by budding trees and fluw-l ers, he becomes inspired to write the “verses of a broken heart.” He soliloquizes on these matters with a tiny boy sitting on a bench, who won- ders what it is all about. Two girl students, seeing him, decide to play ® trick. Dressed as Spring, the danc- ing student appears before him, while, hidden by trees, her companion plays the flute, The poet's temperamental nature is affected by the girl's dancing, he is about to forget his grief and the girl he has lost as he seizes the dancing girl in his arms. Sweetheart Appears. At that moment the lost sweetheart appears from behind the trees, and a realization that she loves the poet comes as she sees him with the other girl. A scene ensues with the usual happy ending. The players in this fantasy were Harry Welker, Thelma Schmitt, Judy Lyeth, Anne Ives and A Master Billy Neuhauser. The second playlet was of a more serious nature, The scene, a side chapel in the Cahedral of Milan, was artist- ically produced; the stage effects, such as lighting, organ music and the slight aroma of incense, were carried out ex- ceptionally well. “The Duchess Bays Her ,” written by Maty Cass Canfield, tells of a newly wed Duchess « of Milan during the fifteenth century, ‘who_goes to a s e of the Virgin to tell her prayers:: She kneels before what she believes is a statue of the Madonna but in reality is the figure of her hus- band’s mistress; Seelng the duchess ap- proach, the clandestine lovers decide it will be best for the duke’s “lady love” to hide in the niche which is empty. Believes Woman Statue, Believing the woman who has ‘been the cause of her husband's infidelities to be a statue, the duchess pours forth the sorrow which is in her heart. Cecelia [l ini, posing as the Madonna, is forced to listen to the sorrow she has caused the young duchess. After the latter has de) Gallerini descends from the niche, completely changed by what she has heard. She announces to the duke that he must leave her for , and tells him the reasons of her o~ me very beautiful passages appear in the lines of this playlet, which was exceptionally well presented by Jane Plummer Rice as Madonna Cecelia Gal- lerini, Lodovico Sforza, the duke, and Beatrice D'Este; the-duchess. Considerable credit should be given to Mrs. Fulton Lewis for the artistic and effective stage settings, which helped greatly to make the two playlets enter- taining and effective. —G. 8. 8.
