i'll. that is beautiful in q pas
~ toral play will be given under
IN the auspices Of and upon the
grounds of Lakeside Country
Club on July 9Th, when the
Coburn sliakespearenn players VIII
present AS You Like IT,. No OPEN
air company has achieved more en-
yiable reputation among the country
clubs than Mr.. Coburns band sof Thes-
plans. In the performance of this
company the first act Is not omitted.
In tIiese days of theatrical incon-
gruitics the lover OF all that Is real
aud beautiful In the presentation OF
famous plays welcomes an open-air
performance or Shakespeare. The at
nosphere and environment in which the
play tx given leave little to be desired.
The performance is given on the edge
OF d wood with lofty trees ind smaller
bushes az a background. with the
heavens as a canopy and with the
artists walking about through this
miniature forest In a most entranclng
manner. 1T is easy to see how much
charni cen be realized In such pre-.
liZed to give the effect OF early morn
ing, midday with Its glorious sunshine
and the moonlit evening with Its sem
timental atmosphere. and all are in
finitely more satisfactory than when
represented in the modern theatre. The
performance in its entirety is SO de-
void of any effect that would tend to
disillusionize that the people in the
play seem to really live the parts they
are portraying.
The Lakeside grounds wiz be in the
full flush OF midsummer glorS whe,
the Coburn players arrive. The pre-
sentation OF Shakespeare's charming
woodland idyl is looked forward tc
therefore as the chief social attraction
or the month OF July. and one which
smart Richmond people will not fat
TO take in.
