THE BEN GREET COMPANY
OF WOODLAND PLAYERS AT
 LAWN CLUB GROUNDS.

Will Give Performance of ''TweIfth
 Night" This Evening-The Cast and the List of Patronesses-If Weather is Rainy the Play Will be Given in ] WooIsey Hall.
 The first open air performance here this season of the Ben Greet Wood land players, under the auspices of the Yale Dramatic association will be giv- en with the performance of Twelfth Night" on the grounds of the New Ha- ven Lawn club this evening at 8:15.
 Very few scenes of this comedy need be omitted when it is given in the open air in pastoral form. The only ones of any importance are the drink ing scenes and those of Malvolia's madness. Several transpositions will have to be made, chiefly in the Orsino scenes, which are blended together instead of being given in the 1 order of the text.
 The action of the play takes place in a public garden near the houses of Olivia and Orsino. The scenes, as pre- sented in the open, begin where Viola, a princess, and her brother, Sebastian, have been wrecked on the coast of Illyria.
 To mark the slight pauses between the scenes and action of the play songs and glees will be sung. Most of the music is traditional and dates back to the sixteenth and seventh centuries One number, "Oh, Mistress Mine,'' is to a setting by Oscar Wiel of San Francisco.
 In the event of the play being given indoors in Woolsey hall. several scenes otherwise omitted will be added to the representation.
