MATINEE MUSICAL
"THE PAGODA
Burmese Story in Song,
Given for First Time in
of Music Club at
THE Slatlnee Sluslcnl Club members
will glvo n delightful afternoon In tfio
Rose Gardens of the Bellevue-Stratford
today, when "The Pagoda of Flowers," a
Burmese story In song, will be sung. Tho
story was written by John Frederick
Fraser and has been set to musla by Amy
Woodforde-FInden. This afternoon's will
bo the Initial performance In the United
States, In costume nnd with stnge setting.
The argument of ths song story Is as
follows: Preceding the events explained
by tho lyrics Oomala, a young Burmese,
betrothed of Ma- Noo, filled with religious
fervor, nnd In bis heart resolved to bo
come a Poongyl (Buddhist priest), has bid
den Sla Noo n sudden, strnngo farewell,
that only half revealed his full Intention,
The innrrlnge day passes. Oomala does
not come to claim his bride. Deserted nnd
desperate, Sla. Noo, unwilling to accept
the rumored truth, seta forth on a pilgrim
age, prajlng that her beloved may bo
restored to her.
The action of tho story passes upon
the grounds of what Is Intended to rep
resent tho famous Shwo Dngon Pagoda
hi Itangoon.
It Is morning and tho people come In
gay costumes to offer prayers before the
clllgles of Buddha, nnd. later, depart to
celebrate with danco and song tho merry
holiday.
The happiness of Sla atec. the little
flower maiden, nnd tho songs sung by
her and Chit Maung, her boy lover, are
In contrast to tho despairing noto of Sla
Noo, In whoso secret heart there lingers
little hope of answer to her oft-Bald pray
ers1. The pilgrims having all departed from
tho shrines, Oomala Is now seen leav
ing tho pagoda with a procession of
priests. He drops unobserved from them,
nnd remains nlone to brood nnd meditate.
Thus, while Oomaln Is engaged in prayer
and "meditation, Sla Noo returns and finds
her lover. Blind in her happiness at find
ing him again, sho does not grasp at
first the cruel truth, and, fearful of dis
turbing his meditations, cautiously makes
her way to tho "Pagoda of Flowers,"
whore sho awaits him. He finishes, where
upon she eagerly ndvnnce.s to him. Rec
ognizing her, he turns again to Buddha
for strength to forget her. and finally re
tires to the temple for prayer. He bars
the sacred door. Sla Noo vainly tries .to
force It, and, In desperation, goes to the
window, where she discovers that his
robes are thoso of n Pyln-SIn monk and
that he Is lost to her.
Itesolvetl to end her misery, Sta Noo
bids a last farewell, and seizes a dagger
(called "dab"), and Is about to end her
unhappy life, when Oomala. emerging,
seeing what she Is about to do, wrests
the "dah" from her grasp. Tho man In
him Is stronger than the priest, and
triumphant love nt last Is conqueror.
Oamala divests himself of his priestly
gown, nnd together the lovers, cloaked
In the twilight mist, steal from the
pagoda and fly hand In hand to tho far
distant rlco Holds of the north, where
once they parted by the Star-Flower tree.
