Twelfth Night
On Friday, June the ninth, nineteen-hundred sixteen, we gave Twelfth Night. We had expected to give it on the seventh, at Oakwood, but it rained Wednesday, T hursday, and Friday, and we had to give the play in
the auditorium on Friday afternoon. The stage seemed rather small, but we rehearsed hurriedly in the eaidy afternoon and so became some­ what accustomed to our unusual surroundings.
1 he play went off beautifully, and the costuming, which was planned by Miss Robinson, was a great success. Grace Robinson, as Olivia, was beautiful, and Henrietta Stewart was a splendid Orsino, handsome and sentimental as he should be. Lucille Martin, as VGlentine, attended Orisino.
Dorothy Jewett played the enchanting Viola, and Catherine Ames was Sebastian, the twin. The lively scenes in which Sir Toby, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Fabian, Feste, Maria, and Malvolio took part caused much laughter and applause. The girls who took these parts, Dorothy Mc­ Kenzie, Jacksonia Watt, Alice Joy, Saidee Sandford, Elisabeth Brown,
and Adele De Leeuw, put much spirit into their acting and were excep­ tionally good. The two sea-captains were well acted by Mary Mish and Margaret Miller. Louise Symington was a good officer, and Sarah Car­ valho as the Friar was all that a good Friar should be.
All who saw the play were delighted with the way in which it was pre­ sented, and although it was a great disappointment not to be able to give it at Oakwood, the performance was a great success.
