Excerpt from The Apostle: A Modern Tragedy, in Three Acts
The four plays of Paul Hyacinthe Loyson are studies in tragedy resulting, not, as we are accus tomed to expect, from folly and unreason, but from proper self-respect and reason. Nor, though he wrote his first play some thirteen years ago, is Mr. Loyson a prolific playwright. The Apostle is only his fourth play. He has been busy with many activities, more recently as a fearless fighter for new ideas and the causes of the downtrodden, in the paper of which he has been the editor-in-chief, Le Droit de l'homme. In 1897 he printed a poem, Les Deux Coupes; in 1899, Magor, a dramatic pamphlet; in 1900, his first play, l'evangile du Sang; and in the following year some poems, Sur les hiarges d'un Drame. Almost from the beginning of his publica tion, then, his chief thought has been for the drama. It was not, however, till 1902, at an experimental performance by Le Cercle des Escholiers, at the Nouveau Théatre, that he had his first production.
