by Famous players. Her singing was
particularly delightful, though her
voice was put to a severe test by I'M
suitable accompaniment, but she sans

and her songs were artistic bits OF the
setting and were much enjoyed.
Orland, as played by Miss Ruth
Rink, was given good charac-
terization and her words fell clear and
with full sensing of the weight of the
lines accorded the DER sick lover who
would take Ganymede's prescription
to cure him: Love is merely madness
and, tell you, deserves as well dark
house and whip as madmen do; and
the reason why they are not so pun
ished and cured is, that the lunacy is
so ordinary that the whippers are IN
love too. Yet l profess curing 1t by
counsel"
The comedy of LAS You Like 1t" lies
greatly in the part of Touchstone, the
court jester, and it was given full sway
by Miss Alice Matheny, who was care
full nevertheless, not to everyday the
clown. which requires nicely OF eX-
preston lest it be clownish, indeed
and far from the wit that these court
fools possessed. In giving the cor
rect shading to Touchstone Miss Math'
eny scored a distinct success and was
applauded roundly. Her scenes with
Audrey, the country lass, were very
we'll enacted and Miss Maurine Null
gan, who played the difficult role OF
Audrey is to be complimented on he's
fine presentation.
Jacques, Miss Florence Dorm
made stellar portrayal and her gooc
phrasing left nothing escape in this
most effective part. To Jacques falls
the honor of delineating the best foo
for thought in the drama and MISS
Dorm gave import to the heavy
verse. Her recital of All the world
stage and the rest of the sollloquN
was quite the best thing of the per

lations. Amiens was in the hands Of
Miss Verna McAvoy and she was one
of the hits of the piece, doing goor
work in a minor part. That o.

well and with picquancy. The cas-
was excellent throughout and thost

comparison to the opportunities of tht

simply immense, one thinking they
had walked out of pictures of 800 year;
and more ago, and were Of beautiful
texture.
The dances we're the prettiest thai
have been given at the Villa de Chan

trancing. The gavotte, given by Older
girls was very gracefully executed an(
the costume dance was pretty fea

dance program.
The Sisters of the Visitation are re.

excellent showing of their seniors anC
those having the play in charge came
in for worthy share of the honors. 4
very good attendance was had and the
women of the Villa served delicious
