The Frank MeEntee Pastoral play- era were most successful yesterday afternoon, despite the rain, in their presentation In the Manor greenwood of the "Merchant of Venice," and the audience showed much appreciation by frequent applause. The difficult and leading part of "Shylock" was played by Frank MeEntee, and his , clever acting and remarkably tine " and expressive intonation was the ! cause of much enthusiasm on the part of the audience. The following was the cast of characters, all of whom sustained most creditably their repu- tations for excellent Shakespearean Interpretation: Duke of Venice, Wilson Duncan: Prince of Morocco, Walter von Bock man; Prince of Arragon, George Sommes; Antonio, a merchant of Venice, Leonard Shepherd; Bassanio, his friend, suitor to Portia, Chester Barnett; Salanlo, Edmund Mortimer; Salnrlno, John M. Kelly; Gratiano, Redmond Flood; Lorenzo, in love with Jessica, Dallas Anderson; Shylock, a rich Jew, Frank MeEntee; Tubal, a Jew, his friend, Henry Calver; Launce lot Gobbo, the clown, servant to Shy lock, Teddy West: Old Gobbo, father to Launcelot, William Hammond; Leonardo, servant to Bassanio, Henry Willis; Balthasar, Stephano, servants to" Portia, Arthur Milton, Eugene Wil son; Portia, a rich heiress, Augusta True; Nerissa, her waiting maid, Mll llcent Evison; Jessica, daughter to Shylock, Helena Head; magniflcoes of Venice; officers of the court of Justice; servants to Portia and other attend ants. Scene Partly at Venice, and part ly at Belmont. k e Interesting Toilette Items. The following toilette items will In terest the feminine portion of society: It seems dreadful to contemplate, but we are evidently getting tho Dlree tolre fever just as the summer is upon us, and will put on the high collars that must be boned and in-ter-llned, be they of silk or lace, with a jabot of lace edging, a fan or lace allover or a satin tie and ends after folding it around the neck below the high lace or silk collar which may cross the front in true Directoire style or leave the throat exposed. In the latter cases the Directoire becomes the Robespierre, and is also boned, and in . front turns back in revers or is cut off straight and a jabot or fan of lace brought down on each side. The newest edition to this collar Is a band of No. 7 black velvet ribbon close about the throat, with a tiny bow tied at the corner. Another idea is to wear a locket on the band, ihe more old-fashioned the better. If you wish to be really very smart, go into a Chinese or Japanese store and rum mage around until you find a bit of gay Oriental-looking silk and tinsel embroidery of which to make a band around the hat crown that you wear with lingerie waists; also a bow on a shirtwaist collar or on a lingerie waist below where the collar usually Is, and wind up with a wide girdle, boned or folded without if the silk is soft and finished with the obi scarf bow at the back. k n Delightful Dance.
