6nd that be is always aiming at something
else than situation. In As You Like IL
Shakespeare admits US into the enchanted
forest. where poets live and maidens search
for The secrets Of the woods-an atmosphere
consecrated to love in its most ideal sense.
What a delightful array Of creations he
presents TO us: The besuteous, witty "Ros-
alind," the manly lover Orlando" the Gym
icaI Jacques" the wanton, arch Jester
rTouchstone," the pretty "Celis," and that
delicious bit of Occurrences, "Audrey~
How they come and go at the
magic beck and nod OF ones
remembrance, Seldom have they been so
lifelike, such fine embodiments OF inVisibili-
ties as they were last night. Miss Daven-
port was the piquant, witty "Rosalind" to the
toes. 1t is a character in which she has be-
come somewhat famous, for abe has not only
the personal appearance necessary Tor 1t, but
the careful training, and the appreciation OF
art 90 noticeable in all true actors. Her
"Rogalind" is far more telling perform
ance than her "Lady Teszle." Mr.. George
Clarke was shorn of his comedy powers
in "Orlando," but he acted the part
with a charming rarity OF manliness.
The role does not give full scope TO his
talents but the APPEAL does not remember
ever seeing a better Orlando" Mr.. Ed
mund Tearle made an excellent Jacques"
but did not give the necessary relief TO the
part. He read his lines in magnificent
way, resonant of voice and careful OF utter
ance; but he turned the cynicism Of the
character into a gloomy hopelessness which,
it would seem, is not what it was intended to
be by the dramatist. The cy8c is not a
man who grieves, but man who don't care.
Mr.. Charles Fisher was consigned to the
part OF adam" and gave an interest
10 1t which 1t seldom possesses for an
audience. Mr. Harry Hawk, an excellent
comedian, was a delightful "Touchstone."
Miss Mary Shaw did not, as Cecilia" give
audience taste enough of her abilities. She
is an acceptable little actress, delivers her
lines most unsteady, and lends a touch Of
grace to all she does. Miss Adele Bray, as
the demure "Andrey," was endearing stupid
ity itself. The rest of the characters were
carried very successfully by the actors as
suming them. Tonight Dumas's Princess Of
Baqdad, and Miss Davenport's adaptation of
w. s. Gilbert's play of Charity, called by her
Ruth, a Tramp, viii be presented.

"As You Like IT.

Miss Davenport appeared at the Memphis
Thester last night as "Rosalind" in As You
Like II, one OF the most charming of all
Shakespeare's comedies. In his tragedies the
master dramatist always endeavors to picture
some great motive. For instance, OtheVO is
another name for jealousy" Macbeth is "per-
sonifed conscience" Henry the Fyth is "chiv-
bition," Hamlet ia intellectually" and
Richard the Third is @well-poised evil" And
SO we might continue the summary
and find that no passion of the hui
man soul is neglected, no phase of
existence, no character of sentiment
sighted. Even in his comedies, where he
has foreswora the heavier sides of life, we

harmless as Mr.. Wilde's. In the free and un-
trammeled West tradespeople utilized his form as
q means Of advertisement, and If Mr.. Wilde took up

of an announcement by q clothing dealer that
"Wld Oscar the Aesthetic buys his clothes

clothes and personal adornment so conspicu-
ous articles in his artistic creed cannot COM
plain of familiarities of this kind. He is a
new revelation to our people. We have had
among us for many years Jealous and able advocates
of artistic development, the fruit of whose careful
sowing is visible on many sides but no one of these
has thought it to cut his trousers short OF
wear his hair long in order to make the people listen
to him. Humor is a strong element in the American
character, as Mr. Wilde has discovered. We have
no doubt he has discovered, also, another element
equally strong and that is common sense, which IS
always a necessary accompaniment to keen sense
of the ludlcrous We did no. need Mr.. Wilde's visit
to teach us the old truth that he who dres es to at
