Hassan, the confectioner of Bagdad, old,
fat, greasy, has a soul that stretches toward
beauty through all the obstacles of his ig-
norance and surroundings. He thinks to
find it inthe love-of a woman, in the lux-
The woman
fools him for money, and the luxury of
the court only masks a tyrant’s whims.
In the course of the play, Rafi, a youth
of heroic impulse, conspires against the
Sultan to avenge his love, Pervaneh, once
snatched for the Sultan’s harem. The c8n-
spiracy fails. Love and a tortured death
are weighed against life and separation, in
the choice of punishment. Rafi and Per-
vdneh choose their ideal only to find that
after death their disembodied spirits are
blown to separation and forgetfulness. As
in one despairing cry Pervaneh recalls the
lost splendor of life, those who live
appear, starting as pilgrims on the Golden |

Hope towards an explanation and a happi-
ness that beckon as they recede.

year of travel and study, and has come
to America every year for ten years, lec-
turing to collegiate and political audiences.
On March 15th Mademoiselle Clément
spoke before the League for Political Edu-
cation, in New’ York, stating, according to
the New: York Tribune, that the. greatest
thing America had done for France ‘since
the war was to send General Dawes to
the Reparations Commission and that the
greatest thing she could do. for the peace
of Europe would be to join the League of
Nations. The three main causes for the
present difficulties, she continued, were the
refusal of the Allies to fix a definite sum
for the Germans to pay, the failure of the
Versailles Conference to- settle war debts
and the refusal of the United States to
give its power and moral support to the
League of Nations. f
