...depicts vividly the Chinese character, but leaves a bad taste in the mouth. "The Rendezvous," by E. B. Ahlborn '02, is a commonplace story with an obvious and unnecessarily pointed moral. "In the Elk Fields," by J. C. G. is a vivid bit of life-like description. The color is good and the writer happily does not attempt anything beyond him in word-painting.

The action centres around the invasion of Provence by the Saracens, and the music is strikingly characteristic in its use of Oriental color, while the dramatic portions are of great vigor and intensity. The style may be said to be Professor Paine's own, for it is neither like that of the modern French opera with its somewhat lighter mixture of the serious and the comic, nor like that of Wagner with its long...
