So light they drift upon the ground;

Whispering wings at the nest's edge;

A twig all brittle
Breaking a little.

"As You Like It."
Despite the threatening weather,
and in spite of the fact that Hatties
burg has but few students and admir
ers of Shakespeare, there was a splen
did audience at the Auditorium last
night, to greet the Coburn players,
who, on account of late trains and
inclement weather, were forced to
abandon Kamper Park, as a place of
entertainment
When all Is said and done and
studied too, stil one sentence can be
added which compasses the whole
matter, "The play's the thing." If you
j doubt it, you did not see "As You Like

take a wonderfully fertile imagination
to read into the beautiful love-making
of Rosalind and Orlando, more pure
delight than Mr. and Mrs. Coburn gave
In the charming scenes in the Forest

The principal characters of "As Yo.i

land the dominant interest of the pin/
is in them and their love aftai. i.
i "Love" is the subject of their story,
! and Mr. and Mrs. Coburn are the lcv
jers; and what a pair of lovers tl cy

Rosalind, and at every opportun -,
Rosalind shines forth. The kissing of
her own hand, when Orlando's back is
turned, is, as Barry would say, "just
dear;" Orlando, too, makes us feel and
know that all his love and devotion are
for the real Rosalind, and that he only
pours out his soul to Gadymede be
cause, forsooth, he must tell someone,
and Ganymede is a willing listener.
I Love inspiring, though with much
j chiding, Rosalind has many beautiful
lines which we often hear quoted with
out realizing their origin; "Beauty
provoketh thieves sooner than gold ; "
i"Men have died from time to time and
! worms have eaten them, but not for
of love."
The Jaques of Howard Kyle, was
most pleasing. He possesses a beauti
ful voice and his enunciation is espe
cially fine and delightful to lovers of
Shakespeare. "Jaques" has many
good lines, and in most of them Mr. |
Kyle gave a perfect interpretation.
The familiar "Seven ageB of man;"
his moralizing and all of his speeches
left but little to be desired by those
familiar with the play. His most per
fect work was when he reported his
meeting with the fool "Touchstone," in
the woods. In this his facial expres
sion was truly wonderful. For a fleet
ing moment, Jaques was Touchstone, j
transformed before your eyes, who in- i
stantly rang out again the laugh of j
Jaques. It was a clever bit of work, j

Why do we always love tb*> Fo«' of
Shakespeare? Why does he always
"get it over," as the critics say? There
are many reasons for this. First there i
is the wonderful playright behind it
all—the master mind wh knew so well
how to touch all mankind; the serious,
the frivolous, the joyous, the sad;
youth and old age. Then there is the
appeal to the eye in the fantastical
costume, with its cap and bells, and
the ever present distaff, which no wise
fool would think of discarding. The
make,up too, is not to be forgotten, for
the drawn look about the eyes, a half
droop to the lips reminds one of the
sad heart that is oftimes concealed by
a smiling face. Last of all the queru
lous voice which all good fools possess,
The Touchstone of last
or assume,
night was Mr. Royden Erlynene, the
English actor who was with Mrs. Fiske
in " Becky Sharpe" last season. Mr.
Erlynene was an ideal Touchstone, :
meeting all the requirements, except f
occasionally when he read his lines a
little too rapid for those not familiar
wÿth the play. However, he pleased
all with his wise foolishness and his
foolish wisdom. Miss Amelia Barleon
as Celia, was as Rosalind said of her
"pretty sweet coz.' She is a dainty,
charming young woman, of pleasing
personality. Miss Dorothy Turner as
Phoebe and Miss Helen Harrington as
Audrey, were well received and much
could be said in praise of their art.
!
A pleasing feature of the evening j
was the singing of the male quartette
led by Mr. Haley Knowles, the English
tenor. Mr. Hamilton, who by-the-way, j
was a member of the New Theatre
company last year, was Sylvius, the
j

young shepherd in love with Phoebe.
Truly it was a delightful evening
and it is to be hoped that the Cobum
of
players were encouraged enough by :
their receptoln to come again in such
weather that they may have beautiful
Kamper Park for a stage setting.
Much credit and especial thanks are
due Miss Norton, teacher of English In

the High School, for this delightful,
educational evening. There is no bet
ter way to teach Shakespeare than !
