Midsummer Nioht's Dream.


Tuesday evening, June 9Th, at p.
m. in the No. school yard, this COM
edy of Shakespeare's, at once the most
weirdly beautiful and absurd in all the
range of literature, will be given by
the school boys and girls and numbers
of little fairy children. Under the d.
rection Of Miss Mamie Hicks the
children are interpreting their parts
with usual power. 1t is really re-
markable to see them enter into the
spirit Of the scenes as they do. 1t is
a play that specially appeals to the
child mind, and these children after
having been working for two months
under their enthusiastic director are
responding perfectly.
To quote from Brainard kellogg:
The whole is a fabric of the most
creative and visionary imagination
Under the spell of this creation we
have forgotten all the old fairy world
and now we see only its abiding
grace and beauty; indeed, it is hardly
too much to say that it is to the mas
ter hand OF Shakespeare that our chill
dren mainly owe their heritage of an
imaginative world of fascinating
beauty, peopled by ideal forms full OF
sportive kindness to be regarded
with perpetual interest and love in
stead of terror. The unreal and
shadowy world becomes real to us, in
this play, while the real world be-
comes less distinct as is consistent in
a dream. 1t is only bully Bottom and
his honest fellows that bring US back
to the village green and homely Eng
lish life From their life we hear the
every day speech of kindly Warwick
