men and the big preparatory schools ior girls and
there is scarce of these institutions throughout
the length and breadth of the land that does not
now boast at least elaborate play or pageant
on the campus each year.
Companies of amateurs and organizations OF pro
iessionas have presented Shakespeares plays in
sylvan surroundings in various parts of the coun.
on the White House lawn at Washington,-btu for
the most part these events introduce original pro
ductions and in most instances not only Is the dia
logue original but the music has been specially
posed and the dances specially arranged for that
particular event At the most notable pageant of
l9lO,-that held at the home OF the late Edward
MacDowell in New Ham pshire,-the musical mas.
terpeces OF Americas most famous composer were
specially arranged to form musical setting for
the open.air drama.
Many of the spectacles which have been pre-
sented by local talent in various American com.
munities historical in theme being designed to
the history of the respective regions where they
are presented. However, the latest leaning seems
to be toward Greek plays original otherwise
Undoubtedly the flowing costumes OF the Grecian
mode lend themselves to graceful posing and the
current popularity of classical dancing has helped
some. Among the women prominent In the produc
tion Of Greek spectacles,-a and almost all the pro
jects for open-air theatricas in the hands of
women,-is Mrs. Albert Clifford Barney OF Gin
cinnati and Washington ID. c.. who has great wealth
to allow the indulgence of her penchant for the
artistic and the dramatic in guise.
