The Melting Pot Drama In Four Acts

Excerpt from The Melting-Pot: Drama in Four Acts The scene is laid in the living-room of the small home of the quixanos in the Richmond or non-7ewish borough of New York, about five o'clock of a Feb ruary afternoon. At centre back is a double street door giving on a columned veranda in the Colonial style. Nailed on the right-hand door-post gleams a Mezuzah, a tiny metal case, containing a Biblical passage. On the right of the door is a small hat stand holding mendel's overcoat, umbrella, etc. 7 here are two windows, one on either side of the door, and three exits, one down-stage on the left leading to the stairs and family bedrooms, and two on the right, the upper leading to kathleen's bedroom and the lower to the kitchen. Over the street door is pinned the stars-and-stripes. On the left wall, in the upper corner of which is a music stand, are bookshelves of large mouldering Hebrew books, and bvbr them is hung a Mizrach, or Hebrew picture, to show it is the East Wall. Other pictures round the room include Wagner, Columbus, Lincoln, and 7ews at the Wailing place. Down-stage, about a yard from the left wall, stands david's roll - desk, open and displaying a medley of music, a quill pen, etc. On the wall behind the desk hangs a book-rack with brightly bound English books. A grand piano stands at left centre back, holding a pile of music and one huge Hebrew tome. 7 here is a table in the middle of the room covered with a red cloth and a litter of objects, music, and newspapers.
