On June sixth, nineteen hundred and eighteen, our perforniaij “ As "i oil Like It’’ took place on the beautiful lawn at (Lkwood; a spite of the efforts of Jupiter Pluvius, the affair was crowned wit:
cess. The irises were out, to make the setting perfect, and the quai r: dainty costumes winding in and out among the greemi ood trees Louhcl been seen nowhere but in Arden.
Xancy Doggett deserves much credit for her extrem .ly charmi personation of Rosalind; and Anna P'razar W'as most pretti and attni as Celia. Orlando, the bold and brave, was clei erlv acted b\ M a:
Meigs, and the philosophic reflections of the melancholy Jaques wet deed well done. All the actors earned a meed of praise, hut speciiLii tion must be made of the wrestling of Charles, the thundering tore Oliver, and the quips of Touchstone; while quaint, nai\e old Cori: tie choleric-h rederick and the stately duke must not be oi erlookcd. sprightliness of the scene was further enhanced by the graceful Hv w’ith his train, and, in sharp contrast, the merry shepherd h-lk, ad :ie green-clad foresters.
Many have been our successes, and we have a long histm-\ udy that filled their audiences with interest and delight; but m iie ha'a he n ter done, or have given more pleasure, than “ As S ou Like It," plffl:e the slanting afternoon sunlight of June, 1918.
