...Department of English is again arranging for several outdoor productions of the plays of Shakespere, similar to those so successfully given last spring by Mr. Greet's Woodland Players. At least four performances will be given, probably including "A Midsummer Night's Dream. With regard to the other three, no definite announcement can yet be made, except that possibly "As You Like It," as given last year, will be repeated.

Specially good during the entire play was the interpretation of meaning by accent and gesture. Several lines, ordinarily rather vague, were given life and significance by the thoughtful attention to detail which...
