AS YOU LIKE IT"
At GREEK THEATER
Productions of Shakespeare's
Comedy TO Be Marked by
Magnifcence

All of the principals who are to
participate with Miss Maude Adams in
the presentation of Shakespeare's pas
toral comedy, LAS You Like It." Mon
day evening, June 6. at the Greek the
ater, Berkeley, are here. and the oer-
load of special scenery has also ar
rived Never in the history of coast
theatricals have such elaborate prep
arations been made and so much money
expended for a single nights perform
ance, and in the presentation Charles
Frohman, who is the manager and pro-
ducer of and for Miss Adams, has taken
into consideration the ambition which
his star has entertained for many
years.
In appearing as Rosalind Miss Adams
will be gratifying a long deferred
wish A few years ago she suggested
it to Frohman, who liked the idea
so well that he proposed putting it
into effect the following year Barrie,
however, came forward with Peter
Pan" and its success precluded the ex-
pertinent for the time. Meanwhile
John w. Alexander, president of the
National Academy of Design, vice pres
ident Of the National Institute OF Arts
and letters and president of the Ma
tional fine arts federation, was inter-
ested and the results of his work will
be seen in the forthcoming produc-
tion.
1t was when here two years ago that
her performance of Rostand's .'BAig-
lon' at the Greek theater suggested
that place as the most appropriate
for the enormous production OF Shakes
peare's play contemplated. She saw
how it would be possible to bring the
forest scene into the very lap OF the
audience by employing the bowl of the
amphitheater as part of the stage, and
SO when the invitation came to the act
ress to again appear at the Berkeley
theater she was delighted to accept.
Tt is Miss Adams intention and
Frohman's will to adhere closely to
the original text of Shakespeare's COM
edy, but to clothe its beauties with
A ragnif1cence of external investiture
never previously attempted.

AEROPLANE TOBE
STAR EXHIBITION
Glenn Curtiss' Flying Machine
Will Be Explained at the
Orpheum

More than one feature act will be on
the Orpheum bill this week, 1t is prom
ised. Of much interest will be the ~ex-
hibition Of the Herring Curtiss aero
plane in which Glenn H. Curtiss made
his championship flights at Rheims
and Brescia. OF course there will be
no fights attempted in the Orpheum
theater, but the airship, which is not
a model, but the original machine in
which Curtiss rode TO fame and fortune,
will be exhibited, the machinery oper-
ated and the mechanism fully ex-
planned.
Miss Mabel Bardine and her company
of five players will present a Chinese
tragedy, "Suey San," the. scenes of
which are laid in the San Francisco
Chinatown. Special scenery and cleo
trica1 effects will enhance the force of
the dramatic action.
Humor and anecdote will character
ize the act provided by James H. Cullen,
who has, it is claimed, an inimitable
way of imparting his stories of which
he has always fresh supply in stock.
The Morrisey sisters and brothers,
in nimble dances and clever songs, will
supply a pleasing diversion, and will
comprise with the acts just named the
new numbers on the bill.
Mag Haggerty's Father is skit
to be given by the Thomas j. Ryan
Richf1eld company. This week will be
the last in which to see Smith and
Campbell in their melange, Camping
OUT; the Mascagno brothers, aero
bats, and Frank Fogarty. The latter's
hit last week was nothing less than
prodigious. New Moving pictures will
close the bill.

BREAKING RECORDS
''What Every Woman Knows

Barrie mas never written anything
more delicate than the first act of

the curtain ascends at their game of
chess. Not a word is spoken for some
time and before the auditor knows it
he finds himself at home in the quaint
house of the Wylies. in perfect SYM
pathy with their affairs and in love
with the delightful, charming queen,
Maggie Wylie.
r The comedy is full of contrasts and
