The Daily Intelligencer of Aug. 22, 1915, contained this article:
An hour before sundown on Saturday the younger members of the Doylestown Nature Club presented “Bird Guardians,” a masque [costumed drama] by Leigh Mitchell Hodges on the broad velvety lawn under the trees at Glenbourne Farm, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Arnold Todd, near Doylestown.
From every part of the country, guests came to see this first presentation of Mr. Hodges’ masque urging protection of feathered friends. “Bird Guardians,” in which young women appeared in the role of the feathered guardians, dressed to represent their plumage as nearly as possible, was not only impressive as an appeal for the birds from economic and humanitarian viewpoints, but decidedly pleasing for its dramatic and spectacular value.
