...Robert). Each was unusually successful in an unusually difficult part. Credit, too, should be given to the translator of the play the English version has little of the "importedfrom-France" atmosphere. Altogether, not a play for post-examination revels, but for the serious evening of dramatic desire and emotional delight...
...Clayton and announces that her husband died shortly after the marriage. The duke persues her, tries to put matters right, and has just succeeded in doing so when he is again discovered "closing another chapter". And so it goes until ultimately he wins back his "widow". Miss Bates played delightfully. Some may have thought her a little heavy of tone and presence for such work; but with the singular technique that years of training under America's best coach have given her and the amusing comedy that Mr. Hopwood has written, she made last night at the Hollis a delight...

Perhaps the newly registered undergraduate is wary of an publication which, like the starred courses in the Catalogue, seem "primarily for graduates."

But first it would be well to consider what courses are now given that deal with the subject...

Mr. Haussermann's swaggering was indeed "immense"; and the difficult transitions from boasting to cringing and back again he managed with a fine skill of reality. He played to the point of delight a part which demands very much versatility. Mr. Spelman's Bess Bridges quite exhausts praise. I do not remember seeing another man fill a woman's part so sufficiently. At times Bess was genuinely and girlishly charming, to the point of complete illusion; yet never over-feminine. She was most interesting, perhaps, in her masculine...
