"lsierre Saisson,
French Dramatist," /"
Two Americans
Guy Bolton and George Middleton
Hid Behind Nom de Plume in
"Light of the World"

'PieTe Saisson,' the playwright who
wrote '-The Light of the World" presented
last Tuesday night at The Lyric Theatre.
was yariously recalled by experts and
chroniclers present at the premiere as
French. German and Swiss. One even
went so far as to say that he was a stout,
quiet man. very studious, who lived in
Paris and only had written two or three
plays, and another recalled that he had
been either killed or seriously injured in
the war.
Interest in "Mr. Saisson" increased yes
,erday when it was learned that he is a
creature of dual personality. Each per-
Sonality has a name, one being Guy Bolton
and the other George Middleton. They dis
agree especially with those who insisted
'Ptfre Saisson'' was fairly well known
German In short, Pierre Saisson" seems
TO be a myth, pen name assumed by
Messrs. Bolton and Middleton, who, with
their musical comedy regulations, hesi-
tAted to launch religious play under their
own signatures. They say the plot and
everything is theirs. and on this effort
they base their claim to be considered as
serious dramatists. Earlier in the season
a straight comedy which they wrote to-
sether, Adam and Eva" was presented
at the Longacre. where it is enjoying a
successful and lengthy engagement
1t was denied emphatically yesterday
that Messrs Bolton and Middleton, or
Messrs. Comstock and Gest producers of
The Light OF the World" had intended
to arrange a lecture tour for Mr.. Sais-
son. or to announce that another play
from his pen would soon be produced. He
will not appear again, unless as a char
acter in some future play by Messrs. Boil
ton and Middleton, who really are two
serious men, with terribly earnest am
bitions.

FRENCH PIANIsTs' RECITAL.

Maurice Dumesnil, French pianist, gave
his first recital of the season at Aeolian
Hall yesterday afternoon. His Brilliant
technique assures his success, but his
work lacks poetic feeling and thereby does
not give as complete artistic enjoyment as
it otherwise would. He played the Hayden
"Andante con yariazioni in F minor
Beethoven's "Appassionata" sonata, two
studies by Liszt, a Chopin group and
pieces by Debussy, Albeniz and vuillemin
In the Debussy "Reflets Dams l. Eau
his hard tone was at variance with the
delicate imaginative character of the
piece. His VIGOROUS rythm made Ell Puerto
suggestive of Spanish life
Vuillemin's "Carillons Dams Ia Bale" a
tone picture of Domarenez, Brittany, was
very effectively played, and If Mr.. Dunn
esnil had been catering to his audience
it would have been repeated.

Last spring Marcel Journet, famous

as the singer who had been so influential
in the company.

it was generally known that her opinion
was highly valued by Mr.. Hammerstein

important matters.

Mr.. Truck when he got a good situation
was very actively amusing, and Miss
Eileen Wilson and Miss Nancy Fair were
not uninteresting, but just when things
were in moderately polite way Of being
entertaining there would come an effort
for extra laughs in the form of lines that
were ordinary as well as salty. There is
amusement for those who don't bother to
discriminate.
Isolated lines were in this class, the
general run of the play was not guilty
'of bald insinuation. But how generally
can such minor atrocities be condemned ?
A comedian makes an observation at some
ucklish climax which would have brought
a frown in a bar room in the old days.
There were some frowns in the audience
Also there was to be heard instantly the
clear, healthy laughter of girls, the deep
toned hee-haws of men that look like
respectable heads of families, the modu-
lated laughter of well dressed Brooklyn
matrons, and slaps on their legs from
clean cut business men. Fortunately
there are many who find such humor
dull.

acted faithfully, though his truly diabolical
role did not always fit In an atmosphere
Of gay farce. Mr. Truck and his bride

graceful torso. the nightie was needlessly
