ACT I.

SCENE: The main room in SUMNER'S apartment on Riverside Drive in New York City. It is an apartment that evidences wealth and cultivation on the part of possessor. The main entrance is through a large arch at C., hung with portieres. This opens into a spacious hallway and at back C. of the hall is seen a smaller arch and a sliding panelled door, leading into the cardroom .

A door down stage L. leads into the gray room, and a door at R. leads into NEIL'S own room. At upper R. and running a little obliquely to the back walls is a large practical double window. This is draped with a pair of rich curtains and valence. The floor is covered by a large Persian rug — leaving a good margin of the floor visible. At R. back, is a settee and at L. back, a large table. At L. facing the window opposite, is a desk and cabinet. The scene is obliqued here also. At R. and L. above doors are handsome bookcases on which are set some beautiful ornaments. Over the bookcases and table and settee at back, are hung oil paintings. The walls are tapestry covered. A smaller rug is placed before the desk at L. with a single chair in front of it. Large carved wood armchairs are R. and L. by the bookcases. A chair is below both doors R. and L. A round table is set R. of C. with chairs at side and at back. A large lamp stands behind table. On the top of the cabinet is set a bronzed statuette of a lion. The desk shows a pair of rich desk lamps lighted at rise, also handsome writing set, and a golden framed miniature is placed at lower L. of desk. The table at back is covered by a long scarf and a tray with syphon, whiskey bottle and several glasses filled with ice — which BENNETT makes up into highballs. On the wall at R. of arch are placed buttons — one of which operates the lights, and the other calls the servants. When the curtains on the window are withdrawn a box of blooming hyacinths is seen outside the window and, opposite, the suggesgestion of a neighboring house .

When the curtain rises the curtains are drawn, shutting out the moonlight. The room is dark except for the lighted lamps on the desk. A dim light is seen in the hall. The cardroom at rear is brightly lighted showing a card table with four players seated around. The hour is about three of a morning early in May, and there are many evidences of a long night of card playing that is just drawing to a close. The men are noisily finishing a rubber and the air is heavy with the smoke from their cigars and cigarettes . JUDSON is seated at back of table in his shirt-sleeves . FELLOWS is L. of table — MORTIMER R. of table and below table with his back to audience is seated NEIL SUMNER. BENNETT is seen at upper L. of the main room concocting highballs. The four players are chatting noisily until the curtain is well up .

Takes his cigar case out — takes a cigar, places it in his mouth — but the taste is bad and he puts it back in the case — puts case in pocket, looking toward the room that holds his daughter and listening to her voice — still under its spell .

ACT II.

TIME: Three weeks later .

SCENE: A bright, cheerful room in NEIL'S home at Port Washingon, Long Island. The light is that of a fine June mid-afternoon. A door at lower L. i sthe main entrance for visitors, though one may enter through the gardens at the centre. Another door is at lower R. The door at C. is one of Colonial design large and handsome. A large French window is set R. of door at middle distance in the flat. Another French window is at L. of door. At upper L. on the side wall is another window, but this does not extend to the floor. The door at C. is open and through the door and windows, one beholds a well trimmed garden and landscape with a church steeple rising in the distance. A brick walk is seen at back with hedge rows running across stage to the path way at C. Two large garden urns filled with June flowers, joined to the hedge rows, are seen through the door. While off L. is seen a graceful pergola. The first drop behind hedge rows shows an extension of the pathway at C. leading up to a fountain flanked with flower beds. Beyond is seen the smiling sloping landscape .

The walls of the room are covered with a flowered Cretonne in which the predominant tone is a rich cream color. All the furniture in the room is white. A large old fashioned brick fireplace at R. is of dull cream colored bricks with white slabbing. The hood is covered with Cretonne like the walls. Above the fireplace under the mantel shelf is seen the inscription "East-West-Home's Best". The fireplace is banked with ferns and plants. On the mantel is set a old fashioned colonial clock, two silver photo frames, a pair of vases and a pair of candlesticks. An old fashioned chair foot rest is above mantel. A small writing desk with chair is set below mantel and above door. A small round table is set about middle R. with chairs R. and L. At R. is an armchair and another is set at L. below door. A single chair is up R. between window and door. Another chair breaks the corner at upper L. A grand piano is at upper L. just off C. A vase of June roses, a photo frame, and sheets of scattered music are on the piano. A piano bench is R. of piano. The piano is set with the keyboard screened from view of audience, that is, diagonally from R. to L. A settee is below piano on a line with the table. The doors at side are of rich mahogany. The door at C. is white with an old fashioned brass knocker attached. A jardiniere of pink flowers at R. of this door and another at L. below the window. Between the door and French windows on either side are hung oval mahogany framed portraits. French medallions are hung at R. and L. of the windows. Between window and door at L. is a large mahogany framed picture, and another large picture is on the wall at R. below the mantel. The subjects of the pictures are Colonial. Another French picture hangs on the wall below door at L. The baseboard and mouldings are done in white. The general tone of the room reveals refinement of a high degree without a touch of extravagance. The apartment is chaste but not in the least cold .
