Excerpt from Unmask! Unmask: A Play of Today in Three Acts Scene, - Library in Robert Grantor's house in New York. Room is rather sombre in furnishings and hangings. Furniture heavy, substantial, but of an early day, book-cases massive, pictures old fashioned, - all about as one would expect in the home of a wealthy man of sixty, who has lived unmarried many years in the same house. The doors, entrances, high ceiling, and everything about the room indicate the spacious character of the house. Doors right and left, near rear. Large entrance in rear center. This entrance is closed by large double doors, which swing out, and by heavy portieres of rich, dark tapestry, when drawn together these portieres cover doors. The doors are not used in Act I, but remain swung back out of sight. This entrance leads to a broad hall-way extending right and left, such a hallway as might run the length of a large old-fashioned house. Its walls are panelled and richly decorated. When the portieres are parted the hall is disclosed, well, but softly lighted, - a soft, deep rose light, as if the lights were shaded for the occasion to produce a colored effect. The light, which is soft and diffused, comes from ceiling in left of hallway, source of light not visible through entrance. A tall, heavily ornamented clock stands in hall, against rear wall, and a little to right of center. It is visible to portion of audience only when portieres are pulled fully to each side. This clock has a rich, deep, distant strike, - very slow. Fire place with low tire at right, an oval portrait of a dark, aristocratic man of about twenty-eight - Robert Grantor's father - hangs over mantel.
