4 AS setting for q Shaksperian play,
| the grounds Of the III. j. Burton place
| at Deephaven are wonderfully adapted
and the Ben Greet Woodland players
find surroundings of such completeness
and fitness for their performances that
!" AS You Like It is holding the clos
est attention on an audience of several
/ hundred persons this afternoon.
The event this afternoon is Of an.
unusual character and entirely different
] from anything that has ever taken
place. at Lake 1Minnetonka. Fifty
/ prominent; men of Minneapolis had sub
| tions a special train over the Mime
apolis & St. Louis road conveyed over
400 guests to Deephaven. From So
cial point of view it is an affair I'M
equaled and the beautiful park around
the Burton home has never seen more
brilliant gathering of fashionable So
;ciety. AT 2 o'clock the special train
4 performance began at once.
An absence of everything ~stagelike
and artificial in the way of scenery is
a a prominent factor of the entertain
men't. The Woodland players have
their center of activity on the tennis
p I
and grouped around it on the soft
i grassy knobs is the audience. Camp
stools and large rugs are arranged as
1 seats and at intervals are placed in
cense basins to keep the insects away.
The gentle splash of waves on the
beach, the rustling of the trees and the
distant cry Of the loon from over the
). of the event. After the performance
the audience is to be taken by steamer
& to the Minnetonka Yacht club house in
Bay St. Louis, where supper will be
served, and where the guests will linger
until the hour for the evening perform
Dream.'' A special train will leave
Deephaven at 1O:45, returning to the
city. ,5sst
