College for Women. The sunken gar

theatre, the terrace beyond was the
stage, beautiful with its background

pines asd shrubbery.

Never were there more charming
lovers than Rosalind and Orlando, al
impersonated by Misses Helen Far

Bunger has good articulation, pleas
ing stage appearance, and manifest
unusual talent for dramatic interpre
tation.
Too much cannot be said of Mis-
Harrington as Rosalind. She Away
charms and holds her audience. He
, appreciation and Interpretation Of tn
character was delightful throughout
A higher compliment cannot be pal
than that for the time she was Rosa
lind, with all the delightful emotions
nature, wit, and clsverness Of Shakes
peare's original.
Miss Mary Grower was at her bes
in the role of Celia. Her articulatio
was distinct, and her appreciation Q
the character was decidedly good.
The rendition of the cynic Jacqu

cult of the entire comedy, but Mis-
Taylor's dramatic appreciation adde
to her natural ease and grace led he
to give to this character an exceed
