The Western School of Expression
of this city presented Shakespeare's
comedy, Twelfth Night, or. What You
Will, before an audience which nearly
filed the auditorium in the Stone
Piano Co. building last night. 1t was
deliberately produced on an Elizabeth
an stage with effective lighting and
electrical effects. The production was
given under the direction of Mrs. Jes-
sic Jepson Remington and was a
prominent demonstration of the high
class work which is being done in the
school Of which she is the head.

Of course there are characters in a
play more prominent han others, but
in a production like the one given
night it would be unfair to single
out the ex]cellencies of one over the
other-they all performed the parts
assigned to them well. During the
progress of the play, one fact stood
out in bold relief and it was the ap-
parent great are which nae been eX-
i'll the assignment of parts.
Miss York vas perfectly natural as
Malvolio and Miss knight was "a
dream as Feste, the clown, and her
of Malvolio in the repeti-
ton of the celebrated phrase, "some
are born great, some achieve greatness
and some have greatness thrust upon
was really funny in its de-
livery and it pleased the audience.
The characters who supplied the fun
were Sir Toby, Sir Andre Wand Fabian
all in compacts to seek the downfall
of Malvolio, together with the clown,
were all equal to the demands Of the
text and they did not overdo them

no attempt was made at undue buff
foonery. There was a. perfect memoir
izing of the lines and hardly was there
room for any fault to be found in
enunciation and expression, especially
after the young ladies had gotten used
to their mems clothes, and environ
and had won the confidence of
the audience. There. were several of
the characters who displayed consid-
cradle natural dramatic ability and
here it might be said hat especially
were the, male characters taken. by. the \
splendidly interpreted. =.
The incidental music was supplied
by a section of DR.. Putnam's orches-
ira of five pieces. This closing feature
of the festival .Was n of which all
can feel proud and it is as
sured that the school is a decided
credit to the city, the quality of ap-
plause showed that. e..
