THE HAND OF THE PROPHET An Arabian Episode Cast Kodama, A Merchant of Riad. Halima, His Bride. Sindibad, A Young Sheykh, Cousin to Kodama. Slave, To Kodama. Slave, To Sindibad. A Singer. A Dancing Girl. Wedding Guests, Slaves and Desert Men. Scene—A room in the home of Halima. The Hand of the Prophet From between the parted curtains two desert men in white costumes, with red sashes and turbans appear. They wear scimiters in their sashes, and are smoking very long cigarettes. They bow to one another, and walk to the two sides of the stage, where they remain until first curtain, then go behind. This is repeated before and after each part of the play. Scene—A room in the home of Halima. Music and laughter are heard, and as the curtain is drawn, a slave girl is seen finishing a wild dance. As she sinks exhausted to the floor there are applause and sounds of approval, in which the merchant Kodama leads. He is seated beside his bride, Halima, on a dais. In the room are slaves, attendants and members of the two families. The wedding celebration is in progress, and all are in festal mood and dress. Rose petals are strewn on the floor, platters heaped with fruits are at the front and side of the stage, and incense is burning in two braziers. Kodama—Thy slave dances with the grace of a startled gazelle. Command her again before night comes. I am pleased with her
