Young Chartley had been betrothed to Luce, a girl of his own county, but the night before his wedding, he ran away to London, where the opening of the play finds him. Here he became much enamored of another Luce, a goldsmith's daughter, whom he planned to marry at the house of the Wise-Woman. Boyster, "a blunt fellow," also loved the gold smith's daughter, but he had made no progress in his courtship. Meanwhile the country Luce had come to London after Chartley, and, disguised as a page, she overheard the plans for the wedding. She then...
...laid in and about a summer hotel in Tacoma, Washington, the second in the garden of the Marquis Hari Kari, the Japanese governor of Nagasaki. The plot centres about the endeavors of a young collegian named Wigglesworth to earn an honest living, and his infatuation with May Lifter, the daughter of Thomas Lawson Lifter, a Chicago magnate.

...second play F.M. Gunther '07 as Hogson, the Englishman whose daughter runs away to Paris with a French clerk, acted remarkably well. F.L. Warrin, Jr., 2L. as the interpreter who does not know a word of English caused constant laughter by his clever acting in the scene with the Englishman. C.G. Mayer as the Cassiere. A.S.A.

Murphy '08, scored a great success in their trios, as did also J.P.S. Harrison...
...Amour Medecin" is a gay, swift trifle, full of the broad humor of burlesque that carries itself in any tongue, and strikes the eye in the action of the players before the words reach the ear. Sganarelle's daughter is sick of love for her Clitandre. Her dull old father is too stupid to see the only cure. Wiser is the daughter's companion, the sage Lisette--wise beyond her years. She tells slow-witted Sganarelle that it will be a death-bed unless physicians are summoned. There is safety in numbers thinks the old man, and four doctors answer...
From Sganarelle's house the spectators are taken to the office of a hotel in Paris, in "L'Anglais Tel Qu'on lo Parle"--from the woes of the sighting Lucinde to the plight of the more energetic Miss Betty Hogson, daughter, but sorely hampered for lack of so much as one French word. An interpreter would serve him, but the hapless Hegson knows not one syllable of English. None the less he finally makes himself understood and his talk and translations are burlesque at its drollest...
