Revolutionary times and sentiments cast Brattle Street, now "Tory Row" into great disfavor. False alarms in April, 1776, sent citizens in wild flight to "a place called fresh pond" to escape a rumored attack by British troops on the town and college, that "hotbed of rebellion". As we all know, the few college buildings became barracks, while professors and students sought what quiet they might find at Concord...
...venture as dangerous as it is selfish. Mr. Sothern, while of neccessity cutting liberally to make the play manageable in an evening, achieves a smooth and rapid plot-development, together with a sustained high standard of acting rarely seen in this drama. An unusually capable and well-balanced cast assists materially in avoiding the too common effect of a series of inspired monologues by Hamlet, strung on a slender thread of mediocre art.

...foremost the acting of Max Montesole as "Patrick Griggs" stands out. As a cultivated and altogether lovable, if none too clear-witted Irishman--the trusted friend of Vivian Hunt (Miss Anglin) through all her trouble--he had many chances to overact which he scrupulously avoided. Indeed the entire cast was notable for its restraint. Mary Courtney (Marion Barney) played with conspicuous naturalness, while Harry Barfoot as "Papa Bonelli" gave some excellen character touches. All that can be done to "put the play across" the company does, and we can only place ourselves with the host of Miss Anglin's friends...
...Other One" Professor Baker calls an imaginative sketch with a cast of three toughs, "Red", "The Connecticut kid" and "The Other One", It was written by Arthur Ketchum Sp., and the scene design selected is that of M. Oensiager '23, who last year designed scenes for the Dramatic Club productions "The Blind" by Maurice Maeterlinck, and "Wurzeifiummery...
