RR EEE EEE ------------ May 1, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 29 Country Day School "Does" Shakespeare in Pair of Settings The double anniversary which marks, supposedly, the birthday of Shake- speare, and more assuredly the date of his death, was observed on April 23, at the North Shore Country Day school, by morning exercises conducted jointly by the boys' and girls' classes of the Tenth grade. These classes, which are now read- ing, "As You Like It," in their Eng- lish course, presented a part of the scene in which Orlando, the hero, en- counters Charles, the Duke's wrestler. The school gained an interesting side- light on the possibility of presenting Shakespeare with modern costume and under the condition of modern life, a method in which interest has been newly aroused by performances abroad within the past year, and which is now being much mooted and discussed. For the scene was presented twice, by two completely different casts; once in the stately and traditionally manner and once in the relatively off-hand modern setting. The former was effective, as such productions commonly are, when done with zest, care and guidance. The lat- ter proved to add much amusement and opened the way to a satirical outlook upon certain of our modern practices, but was not designed or permitted to become burlesque. Several schools are known to have been early in following the players abroad in giving Shakespeare in modern costume, but North Shore Country Day school's experience of showing successively both methods in one scene, is highly unusual, if not unique, and the giving of the two pres- entations was tied together by a bit of by-play which added not a little to the curiosity and eagerness of the audi- ence.
