A Garden Fête in the grounds of Otterspool House, Liverpool:...play adapted from Chaucer, 1895. 'Entrance of the Court of King Arthur...the energetic Liverpool Ladies' Association for the Care and Protection of Young Girls has been busy in preparing for a novel gala, which combined picturesqueness with philanthropy, and on Wednesday, June 19, the public had an opportunity of enjoying their handiwork and of aiding a good cause...The mise-en-scene is the Court of King Arthur, and everything possible had been done to render the play interesting to watch...the really beautiful costumes and processions...owed their success to Mr. Anning Bell, Mrs. Gotch, Mrs. Raleigh, and Miss Lister, while the dances by Miss Jessie Noble were extremely effective...The entertainment was organised by Mrs. Grayson, Mrs. Rendall, and Mrs. Place, with Miss Grayson as secretary, and, it is hoped, will have realised the amount which was required. All the ladies and gentlemen who worked so hard for the success of the fete deserve congratulations on their efforts on behalf of such a good object'. Staging of "The Riddle: A Pleasant Pastoral Comedy, Adapted From the Wife of Bath's Tale as It Is Set Forth in the Works of Master Geoffrey Chaucer" by Professor Walter Raleigh. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
