Tanning Of the Shew' FootIghts Unique Tercentenay Event
DIRECTOR WIN. LEVERS GIVES
Il PRAISE TO ABLE ASSISTANTS
Tells Why Amateurs are AbIt
to Produce Shakespeare
Here

With characteristic self-effacement,
William Levers, director of The Foot
lights production OF The Tanning OF
the Shrew," has this to say of those
who are assisting him in producing
the play:
Few persons realize how difficult
it is for an amateur organization to
put on anything Shakespearean. II
would be absolutely and physically
impossible for me to do it with only
the evening hours at my disposal were
n not for the untiring efforts put
forth by such ladies as Mrs. Harry
Macfarlane, Mrs. f. r. Day. Miss Be
atrice Castle. Mrs W. w. Thayer,
Mrs. Armstrong and others.
Nobody knows how much work de-
vcIYed upon Mrs. Macfarlane when
the neBs came only three weeks ago
that Tie San Francisco costumers
wanted about $500 for the costumes,
scenes slia props needed in the play.
Mrs. Mactarlane has accomplished
wonders IN having these costumes
made to order. for each member of the
cast and Absolutely true to the period
OF the play. There are nearly 40 per
sons in the cast a1l-told, and she has
had a terrible strain getting them
done on time, with her baby i'll at
home and demanding constant atten-
ton. ~
When Mrs Days name is given
out chairman of the committee on
scensry. ho@ many know that she is
painting the exits and scenery with
her own hand, and is attending to all
the lighting effects herself?
The one item Of handling the cast,
keeping them notified of times and
place of rehearsals, etc, has been
most efficiently attended to BY Miss
Castle. And the work of assembling
the required props has been proceed
ed with systematically and .unceasine
ly BY Mrs. Thayer. Its the hearty
support Of such puhltc.spirited IatlieS
as these, not forgetting the members
ol III cast who deserve much praise
for the number Of evenings they have
devoted toaehearsals, that makes pos
sible the work of directing so ambi.
tious production.
Honolulu Is to be congratulated
that It has such people who are will
ing to make considerable personal sac
rifiee for the sake of art and the en-
tertainment of the community.

The last rehearsal this week was

were not Easter Sunday another re-

time or effort is being spared to make

two rehearsals remaining before the

sturdy legs, a close observer might
have noted a lack of hosiery, and a.
display of hairy, bare skin between
shoetop and pant leg. While The

to gloat over, there was still a little
something about him that indicated
that he had formerly enjoyed and

of boyish fright when he saw the girl

Before condemning him his critics

in such an extraordinary predicament
He was totally unprepared for such a
climax. He had told the girl he was
through with her. He had walked
away toward the road. He supposed
she would take the matter coolly. To
him it did not seem a life and death
matter. His love had cooled. Perhaps
hers was as ardent as ever.

had been sweethearts. He believed
her to be in a delicate condition. For
that he considered himself RESPONSE

soul, he believed, in the panic that
seized him, that he might be held re-

Possibly his flight was not manly.
But it was not evidence of intrinsic
cowardice or moral turpitude. 1t was
merely an evidence of panic. If L
