QUAINT PLAY
Charles Keller Produces His
Triumph of Light" in the

Beautiful Verse and Pretty
Pictures Combine to Give
Rare Treat to Audience
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,

Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, Jan. Z.
A mystery play by a Berkeley poet,
with some Of the most prominent peo-
pie of the university town In the cast,
proved q magnet tonight to crowd
to overnowing the quaint Unitarian
Church on Bancroft way.
Charles Keeler, maker OF beautiful
verse. staged the play. which was OF
his own writing, modelled in form after
the old English morality plays. Keeler
called it The Triumph Of Light" 1t
glorifled love and light as opposed to
what the poet thinks Is the modern
tendency to worship gold.
On the diminutive stage Of the
church mingled odd shapes Of medieval
makeup, as the play proceeded, and
strangely clad characters, picturesque
in the extreme, made of the stage
gorgeous blaze of color, while the act
ors recited and sang the exquisite lines
given them by the poet.
Keeler appeared as the Priest Of the
Sun in the prologue. He was clad in
scarlet robe, piped with gold. He
told how Mortality, man unhappy.
world-surfeited and wandering alone
in ebon gloom" was to be shown the
mystery of life. Following this pro-
logue came darkness, the faint muir
muir OF an organ, and voices Of an un-
seen chorus. mingling with the laments
Of Mortality. Then appeared the
Seraph of Dawn, heralding the coming
of the King of Day. The black-robed
figures fed. To the strains of the
War March Of the Priests" in "Ath-
alie," by Mendelssohn, came the spirits
Of California, led by Pan.
After a succession of picturesque
scenes, where all the characters con-
tributed to the beauty and impressive
ness Of the spectacle, came the final
picture. where Mortality, after a Sc
ries Of wanderings and minor revela-
tions, receives the torch Of Truth and
awakens the sleeping child, Love, who
with a kiss gives him immortality.
Thus the triumph Of Light is complete.
Some Of the principal characters In
the play were taken by the following
persons: Charles Keeler, Priest Of the
Sun; Professor Frank Soule, Mortality;
Miss Ethel Preble, Seraph of Dawn;
Mrs. II. N. Minor, Nature, Mother Of
Earth and Sea; Lester Parker, King
of Light. The chorus Of California"
was composed of Mr.. and Mrs. Payson.
