been presented in this country. 1t
promises to be even more artistic and
brilliant success than the beautiful
Kirmes given by the same association
last year. The idea ofthe entertainment,
the correct presentation of a succession of
the most striking scenes from the Shalis-
peare plays before the Court of Queen
Elizabeth. by Shakespeare himself, origi-
mated in Birmingham, England, where
II was given with great success by num-
Der of lords and ladies interested in n
like charitable enterprise.
II is believed that there Is sufficient in
terest in the works of Shakespeare aud
familiarity with them among Washington
people to warrant the success of a similar
entertainment in this country. 1t has
been the effort of those in charge of the
pantomime to secure the best and most
appropriate talent for the various roles,
and those present at the rehearsas have
expressed their satisfaction with the cast
as whole. Many of the costumes have
been made TO order for the occasion in
New York, and are valued as a whole at
$4,000 for which the association pays
rental of 500 for the three nights. The
costume of Shakespeare is the only one ever
made for the character in this country,
this being the first time the part of the
great bard has been drainatized in
America.
