...subjects, or make himself proficient in a specialty. The student who intends to read law can lay a foundation in history and logic; the future doctor can ground himself in chemistry and science. But to the business man no such opportunities are offered; the work that he does here cannot be said to fit him for commerce or banking, in more than a general way.

We cannot see, however, that she is a great actress in any sense of the word; in passages requiring force and strength, she is very far from perfection. The support averages fairly good. Next week Miss Cavendish plays Beatrice in "Much Ado about Nothing...
