...clock this afternoon the Dramatic Club will meet in the Quiet Room of the Union. Mr. E. E. Clive, who plays many of the principal roles at the Copley Theatre, will speak on "The Work of an Actor in it Repertory Company", and Mr. E. L. Sturtevant, the assistant manager and treasurer of the Copley Theatre, will speak on "The Financial Problems of a Repertory Company...
...production is in general up to the level of its other revivals at the hands of the Jewett Company; in some respects it is better, and in a few instances distinctly worse. The parts are on the whole effectively cast--"Kate" was well played by Miss Willard, while Mr. Clive, Mr. Kingsford and Mr. Joy took their old parts with their usual skill.

Especially pleasing was the work of Mr. Joy as the Bishop of Chelsea: we hope that his versatility will be given full scope this season. Mr. Clive can always be counted upon and did not fail this time. Miss Doyle handled an "emotional" part with praiseworthy firmness, resisting all temptation to rant. The rest of the cast were equally satisfactory. We hope that "Getting Married" will continue to run for more than a week, for we should...
