ager. had managed to nearly fill the house,
and large number of tickets had been sold
which We're not representa- by holders.
Those who failed to attend mssedsa treat
for the acting was distinctly above the
terestlng. The story is brief and the ae-
ton OF the play is comprised within a space
OF twenty-four hours. PygmaliOn. highly
gifted Greek sculptor, repines because his
statues-richly endowed as they are with
beauty of feature and grace of form-must
ever remain lifeleSs. His wife, Cynisea,
his constant model, speaks of his calling
the senseleSs marble into life" and then,
referring to his CHI eff work, Ga figure Of Gal
atea) he replies bitterly;
The lifeless, senseless mockery of life,
The gods make life, can make only death
His wife chides him for this feeling of in
gratitude as to the powers given him.
Having to leave him for day, she bids him
pour out his love for her to Galatea.
While Cynlsca is absent Galatea comes to
HE, declares that size owes her existence TO
Pygmalion and expresses strong love for
him. Carried away Tor a moment by the
passionate utteranceS OF the innocent,
Warn-hearted woman who embraces him,
Pygmaliun forgets his wife and the strong
bond that exists between them, each having
received the power to bring blindness on
the other should there be even a thought of
unfaithfulneSs. Cynisca returns, finds Gal
atea alive, calls down the curse upon her
husband.
Galatea learns she has been the cause of
the misfortune that has Overtakcn Pygmal-
ion and has brought unhappiness into his
home. In answer to her prayers she is able
to speak with CyniSca'S voice, and so speak
lns she forgiyeS PygmaliOn as for his wife,
whose soul indOTSes the thought and causes
her husband 20 receive his sight again,
willie Galatea becomes a statue as before.
