been seen nowhere hut in Arden.
Xancy Doggett deserves much credit for her extremeh, iharming in personation of Rosalind; and Anna Fra/ar was most \[U'etty ami attrarc\ as Celia. Orlando, the bold and brace, was cleverly actetl hy Margei
Meigs, and the philosophic reflections of the melancholy Jaques wercii deed well done. All the actors earneci a meed of praise, but special ii;e: tion must be made of the wrestling of Charles, the thundering toneS I Oliver, and the quips of Touchstone; while quaint, naive old Corin, tl choleric- Frederick and the stately duke must not he overlooked. dl sprightliness of the scene was further enhanced b\ the graceiul Hv3m with his train, and, in sharp contrast, the merry shepherd lolk, and :1 green-clad foresters.
