on any stage 5Nova13.
Pending her appearance in New
York city in the great Ibsen drama,
Ghosts Miss Mary Shaw, who heads
one of the George Fawcett companies
from Chase's theater, Baltimore, will
produce in Baltimore probably a series
of Shakespearean plays "a Midsum
mer Nights Dream will be one of
these, the first, and it will be follow
ed later by Macbeth" Hamlet and
several others. 1t is possible that "As
You Like TT. may be revived this year
with a special production.
Meanwhile arrangements. for Miss
Shaw's appearance in New York at a
series of special matinees with a spe-
cially selected company in Ghosts"
are going steadily, ahead. Miss Shaw's
work in this drama has attracted the
attention of every theatrical student in
the country. therefore her appearance

ture of an event. The production will
be an elaborate one, scenically and in
costuming,
