"As You Like it" will be presented during this week...

This play is characteristic of the author in that it abounds in laughable situations. Miss Miriam O'Leary as the daughter of provincial parents acts her part with customary grace. Miss Sheridan as the comic opera singer attempts a new role with great succes while Miss Clarke as the indignant wife was easy and natural. Mr. Mason added another to his list of creations while Mr. Wilson as the comedian elicited roars from the audience...
