did has held the charm for the
simple lover of music as has this.
1t was this and the subsequently
written instrumental numbers for
the play, that caused the critics
to rank the composer with MOI
art, Bach and Handel.
1t was not until IS43 that, at
the request Of the king Of Prussia,
Mendelssohn completed the work
begun years before. Then he
wrote the twelve incidental num-
bers that Shakespeare comedy
inspired in him in his youth. II
was then that he wrote the fairy
dances the scherzo breathing OF
fairyland, the intermezzo which,
with its agitation and restlessness
but yet its daintiness. accompan-
les the sad quest of Helen for
Demetrius and her meeting with
Lysander, with its magical re
suits. The well known nocturne
in E-major is one Of the gems OF
the composition, describing as it
does the spirit Of the woods and
including ritania's slumbers. Its
exquisitely born passages and
genuine feeling Of the forest mark
it as one of the triunphs Of the
composer. Here also occurs the
famous wedding march whose
brilliant and stirring rhythm and
festive passages have come to be
a part Of almost every wedding
ceremony. These numbers are
interspersed with Others. less we'll
known but equally brilliant, all Of
which combine to form a musical
setting the like Of which has
never been made for any other
play.
1t was before the king and
court at Potsdam in tS4s that
the completed music was frs,
given, accompanying the perfor-
nance Of the play, Mendelssobn
himself directing the orchestra.
1t was perhaps not given thus
again until the one hundredth
anniversary Of Mendelssohn's
birth, when the Ben Greet Play
ers and the Russian symphony
orchestra presented the play with
the music.
The performance Of the play in
Durham will be accompanied by
the famous Mendelssohn music.
No pains will be spared to
make the presentation of these
plays the most attractive Of the
entertainments at the college this

setting which the campus affords,

Shakspere's nsJs
From the Trinity Chronicle

AAShi tnS AiAuikt \utoulCic
Probably nothing before the
American public today equals in
charm and beauty the pastora
plays as given by the deservedly
famous Ben Greet Players. The
beautiful background Of trees,
the greer, lawn, the song of birds,
the players, in their beautiful
Elizabethan costumes speaking
the exquisite lines, make the at
ternoon performances long to be
remembered; the romantic charm
and LONELINESS Of the plays in the
evening, when the varied calcium
light effects add witchery to the
setting, never fail to delight au-
diences to the utmost.
Critics everywhere have praised
the beautiful ensemble playing of
these artists, and the general pub
lie always hail with pleasure their
coming, for there are few, if any,
companies in the world who
please SO universally.
Ben Greet, the originator Of
the company, began in England
more than twenty-five years ago
the giving of Shakespearean plays
in the open air, and his company
has played during the last twenty
years at Oxford and Cambridge,
frequently at the Royal Botanical
Gardens, Kensington, Roystonl
Stratford-on- Warwick Cas-
tie, and at the most beautiful an
cestral homes in England. Eight
years ago he brought his company
to America, where his work has
met with as enthusiastic apprecia-
ton as it did in his own country.
The company has presented many
times the world-famous comedies
at all of the great universities and
colleges in the United States and
Canada, and the demand has been
so great that frequently it has
had to abandon its English tour
altogether.
The purpose in Mr.. Greet's
mind in giving the plays Of
Shakespeare in what, for want Of
a better term, is called the Eliza
bethan manner, is to act them As
they were written, to give comedy
in The purest form, with all the
primeval simplicity Of stage-set-
ting, carrying out the woodland
effect in detail as it was in Shakes
peare's time when the plays were
enacted on the green sward OF
some palace, or in the courtyard
of some inn at cathedral, thus
transporting the auditors back
into the time Of the good Queen
Bess and creating in their minds
a love for the old-time school of
Shakespearian acting. OF the
work Of Mr.. Greet and his COM
pany, one competent critic has
said: "The fact remains that the
Ben Greet Players have done
something never done since VIII
liam Shakespeare, and necessity
demands il. They cut the Cor
dian knot Of conventional stage
craft, and just give the play--we
do the rest. These woodland
players are psychologists. They
capture young, old, intelligent,
cynical. blase, even the dull and
tired, in the silken spider thread
OF their art, and bind them hand
and loot"
Any community is fortunate in
being able to witness the presen-
tation Of Shakespeare's plays by
artists who work with such high
ideals, who labor to emprasize all
that is best in the great play
wright's work--energy, devotion
to truth, self-government, patriot
ism, tolerance, moral strength.
