Payne Wrote LibrettO.
John Howard Payne wrote the en-

and original copies may be seen at
the library exhibit. He was at that
time engaged in dramatic work In
London for the Drury Lane and
Covent Garden Theaters. The proto-
type of the opera was pantomime and
ballet, which Payne had seen several
years previously In Paris. Such
things were then very popular in the
French capital. AS a matter of fact
Payne first wrote a play around the
pantomime. but later he and Bishop
co-operated upon the opera.
1t was not long after that first per-
formance at the Covent Garden The
ater on the night of May S. 1928. that
Home. Sweet Home" began to be
popular. An edition of 10000 copies
was sold the first year. and some
authorities make it 100000 copies. but
that is probably an overestimation.
and perhaps these sales did make the
count 100000 copies.

PRISONER
PUTS PICTURE Of
CHRIST ON WALL
Russian Convict in u, S,
Prison Hopes to Gain
Freedom by Work,

ATLANTA. Ga, June 12-On the
wall of the chapel at the United
States nenitentiary here is a magnifi-
cent painting of Jesus Christ. the
work of Max Sasanoff, a Russian
convicted Of forgery in New York
City, and now serving his term Of
Imprisonment. Sasanoff now hopes to
gain a pardon through his remarkable
artistic achievement.
The painting, which has just been
completed, after nearly six months
Of intensive effort, has evokeS the
praise of art critics of Atlanta and
the South. many of them declaring
that it compares favorably with the
mural decorations in some of the
most famous churches Of Europe.
1t depicts the Savior on the steps
of the temple. while ali about him
are gathered the sick, the lame and
sightless and the weary. Above. in
the clouds, are cherubim. symbolic. as
Max says, of the angels of mercy.
Prisoners were posed for Max for
various figures while the idea was
given to him by Father Hayden. rec
tor of the chapel and a man univer-
sally loved by all the prisoners.
Max has dedicated the painting to
Father Hayden as a memorial and
further, as he says, Ito show how
much a man appreciates kindness"
Max first came into local pronin-
ence by his singing at a radio station
here. and investigation by Lambdin
Kay. director of the station, disclosed
that he not only had heen a grand
opera star of considerable magnitude,
but was an artist of some note. He
told Kay of painting and promised him
that when it was completed he would
be the first to see 1t. Accordingly.
Kay and a group Of Atlanta artists
were invited to the prison and the
painting was unveiled. So pleased
were they with the work they immedi.
ately started the ball rolling to get
Max pardon. Kay has taken up the
movement and initiated negotiations
with Washington officials seeking to
get Max released.
Officials of the prison say Max has
been a model prisoner during his stay.
while Father Hayden says his investi-
cation of the forgery case convinced
him that Max was but the tool of
gang of New Workers.
Sasanoff himself says he didn't
know what he was doing and that
when he found out what the forgery
was for he tried to STOP but that his
gang made him go on with the work
Under the penalty of daath and that
he was forced to finish the work.
