It was performed for the first three weeks of Karsavina's four-week season in variety at the Coliseum, and was danced by the corps de ballet to music by Gustav Holst.\r\n\r\nAn account of this production in 'Karsavina’s Art. Contrasts at the Coliseum', <i>The Times</i>. 5 July 1921, p.8, claimed that ‘the dresses alone are well worth one or more visits to the Coliseum’, referring to ‘the rustic dresses in the ‘Jack in the Green’ dance, with, by way of contrast, the more imposing attire of the Lord and Lady … the whole thing is a series of beautiful pictures which made one realise once more how great a loss to the English stage Mr. Lovat Fraser’s death entailed.'\r\n","physicalDescription":"Costume design for a male dancer as the Lord, drawn in profile, facing viewer's left, the design heavily annotated by the artist. The Lord wears an orange tail coat and green breeches and what is described as a 'Very large cocked hat'.
