LEAGUE OF ARTS.—A Midsummer Night's Dream, in Hyde Park.

[A short version of A 31441summer 21 ighe a Dream, with music by Mr. Martin Shaw, will be performed in the natural amphitheatre north of the Serpentine in Hyde Park on Saturdays, Jury 15th and 22nd, at 3 and 7 p.m. English music of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries would be truer to the spirit of the play and a better substitute for Mendelssohn. However, Mr. Martin Shaw has a talent for writing graceful melodies and his idiom, though modern, is certainly English. Tickets from The League of Arts, The Guildhouse, Eccleston Square, S.W. 1.]
