...would be a bold man who would prophesy the fortunes of Mr. MacKaye's new play on the stage. It is so unlike anything that has been seen in the theatre these many years that parallels of any kind are hard to draw; and yet it has so much that is striking, even startling, in it that a theatrical sensation is by no means out of the question. "The Scarecrow" is a prose "tragedy of the indicrous," based upon a suggestion derived from Hawthorne's "Feathertop"; but the purely satirical purpose of the original story is replaced by an ethical...
...crews got away evenly at the start, but about two hundred yards down the course number five in the Freshman boat caught a crab. This gave the Sophomores a slight advantage, but they did not hold it long. A half-mile from the start the Freshmen began to draw away, and just before Harvard Bridge they led by about a length.

...removed from actuality; it has too little action: it is too poetical. Even the exaggerated popularity of Sothern and Marlowe could hardly have supported this play and that was all that made "Joan of Are" successful on the stage. Indeed, what was not enough to draw the public in the very competent hands of Miss Kalisch would have been ludicrous if Miss Marlowe had acted it-and would probably have drawn a little better. But if we are brave enough and perhaps optimistic enough to admit that an American can write good verse, "Sappho and Phaon" will stand on many...
