Twelfth Night at Grassmount-A High
ly Successful Representation

The announcement a few weeks ago that
the Young ladies of the University would
present one of Shakespeare's comedies was
received with pleasure by all who had seen
or heard about the very successful PERFORM
ances of two and three summers ago. The
omission of the play last wear was a source
OF disappointment to many who had hoped
it had become a regular feature of the com
mcncement season. Some of the conditions
which made it unadvisable TO ATTEMPT "A
performance then were present this wear to
such a degree as to cause the girls to hest
tate about undertaking it Their success
after only about six weeks of preparation
shows what college girls can do when they
try with the aid of a capable and energetic
instructor For week or so they had in
struCtion in elocution and the rendering of
the lines from Mr.. Schonberg. a profession
al trainer But by far the larger part #
their training In elocution, . s well as in the
acting Of their parts, was given by Alr. NJ
". Andrews of the English department of
the University To his ability and uutiriup
interest the success Of Thursday evening
was largely due
The play selected is one of the most ia
miliar of Shakespeare S comedies and while
the less refined portions of it seem hardly
suited to "A performance given wholly by
women it contains some of the most beau
tiful passages and most exquisite situa-
tons to be found in an Shakcsucare And il
is especially well ADAPTED To- an ou-uf-door
rendering several scenes absolutely rcour-
ing the outdoor setting, while scarcely one
is less effective by reason of it. The little
embowered amphitheatre nj t;rnssmourt
was especially charming. with the moon
light shining through the trees after tnr
uncertain skies of the morning
