As You Like It from 1903
In the spirit of the visit to Ellicott City and watching "As You Like It" with Ian and Dave, my wife Cheryl found a portion of a NY Times review of another outdoor performance of the same show. Here's a portion for your enjoyment.
AS ONE LIKES IT; Shakespeare's Great Pastoral in the Open Air. Mr. Ben Greet's Company at its Best -- Miss Wynne Matthison as Rosalind, Mr. Robert Lorraine as Orlando, and Mr. Greet as Jaques.
May 15, 1903, Friday
Yesterday afternoon, for the first time, it is said, in the history of the Island of Manhattan, a band of professional actors save an out-of-doors performance. The play was "As You Like It," the forest scenes of which were represented by Mr. Ben Greet's s company, in the South Field of Columhia University, and the production was made gratuitously, through the courtesy of Mr. Charles Frohman in aid of the University Settlement Kindergarten.
BTW, I think the photos speak for themselves of the high enjoyment level experienced at this great event.
