''The Land of Hearts Desire" is a
beautiful little fairy play, based on
the old legend that on May Eve, the
Good People" or fairies have power
to steal newly-married bride, if
fire and milk are given from the
house on that night. Marie Bruin.
a young bride, living with her
husbands mother and father, has
become deeply interested in volume
of old fairy tales which she has
found in the thatch, much to the
dissatisfaction of her Woodworking,
and rather bitter-tongued mother-in-
law The parish priest and her
father-in-law, demonstrate with her
for her over-avidity for fairy-love,
but her young husband looks on it in
a more kindly light At his sugges-
ton, she scatters primroses before
the house to please the fairies, but
the wind carries them away. While
at supper, a little queer old man,
and little queer old woman came
knocking at the door, and Marie
gives out both milk and fire to them.
Bridget Bruin, the mother-in-law,
calls out in terror and scolds her
bitterly for her folly. Marie
wearied by the wise advice of the
father-in-law, the Cody council of
the priest, the bitter scolding of her
mother-in-law, and the drowsy love-
making of her young husband, calls
out wildly to the fairies to take her
out of the dull house. A fairy-child
enters in the guise of a young child,
and after inducing the priest to hide
the crucifix, scatters her primroses
and forms a charmed circle She
then calls the bride to come with her
and despite the entreaties of the
young groom, the protests of the
priest, and the wild prayers of the
mother and father, the bride listens
to the fairy's voice. As the fairy
leaves, the bride falls lifeless into her
husbands arms, her soul having
been carried away by the fairies.
