The coming of Coburn Players
for May, open air performance,
on the grounds of Clemson Col
lege, will be one of the most
notable events of the season. On
this occasion they will present,
"As you Like It" at $50 p. M,
and as this is one of Shakespeare's
most delightful comedies, the
event is looked forward to with
great interest on all sides. The
Coburn Players have attracted
widespread attention at Colum.
bia, Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
and many other colleges where
alfusco performances have been
of unusual interest. A most in
teresting feature of the perform
ance is that it will be given with
only the sky for a roof and with
a natural background of forest
with trees and shrubs for the
setting. The stage will be light
ed by powerful calciums which
will throw the ee-bowered stage
into fine relief and the audience
into obscurity, as it would be.
Plans are beng made for a
number of parties from surround
ing towns to come to Clemson on
this occasion, and it is hoped that
a large number indeed will take
advantage of this opportunity.
