History of 'the Play First Given by '' 8othern and Marlowe Princl- i' ' pal Characters Synopsis. ' Jeanne D'Arc, the drama which Miss Howell Is to read In the Temple on Saturday evening, was first presented in October of 1906, by Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe, and was one of the leading numbers in their reper toire diirlng last season. ,-Mr. "Mackayo, the author, adheres more closely to' h4 story than does Schiller in his ''Maid of Orleans." He is true and historic in his portrayal of the spirit of courage and patriotism of the soldier shepherdess. The first scene of the drama is in the village of Domremy, where the simplicity of Jeanne's life is illumi nated by the visitation from her saintB who, at the end of the act, bid her go forth and raise the great selge of Or leans and have crowned the Dauphin. It is in the second act, when at the castle of Chium, eanne convinces the Dauphin, Louis VII, of the divine origin of her mission, that the love situation, a begins. cousin, the Due D'Alencon, falls under the spell of her pure and patriotic spirit and eventually, through his faith In her, Is made to pray, to tremble and believe." As Jeanne's "shield In battle" he marches beside her until she is captured by the English, when he, too, is taken prisoner. During the third act, Jeanne is wounded, apparently fatally, but in spired by nor "Voices" and the call of her soldiers for "Lescoud," she turns the retreat ordered by Dunols, the French commander before Orleans, Into an attack on the last stronghold of the English, and the act ends with the raising of the selge. The fourth act takes place during the march of the army to RhelmB, where the coronation will take place. By her vision Jeanne sees through and frustrates the plans of Seigneur De La; Treraoullle, the king's favorite, who, for selfish reasons, wishes to keep Charles from Doing crowned. The last act Is in the prison at Rouen, when, worn out in body and mind by the long trials and Injustice (of the Inquisition, and forsaken by her VoiceB, pale hallucinations come to Jeanne and she hears ever and anon the voice of the judge's clerk crying the question in the justice hall. It is here that the Due D'Alencon, dis guised as a monk, reaches the wander ing mind of the maid and brings her back to, faith in her saints and voices, Other characters in the drama are: Peasant of Domremy, Marshal La Hire Louis D.e Cortes, Jeanne's Page, Pierre Cpuchh, Bishop of eauvais, Nicolas Lolsoleur of the Inquisition, and John Gus, an English gentleman.
