...Jones and "Till Eulenspiegel" seems competent and sincere. What is more, it is readable. It describes the rich settings and costumes of the recent opera with a color and a freshness of epithet that hold the lay reader. The description of Zuloaga's "Portrait of a Dancing Girl" is rather less successful. Though a faithful picture, it lacks the vigor and life which Mr. Larkin has breathed into his portrayal of "Till Eulenspiegel." "Mr. Sunday on College Men," we have, written in newspaper style, an interview with the famous evangelist. As an interview it is intimate and wholly interesting...
...star as he is, "Step This Way" cannot escape criticism because of the presence of its principal. An attempt to revive "The Girl Behind the Counter" surely ought to have aimed higher than this production has. Its first failing is in a lack of support, for, with the exception of Sam Dody's dancing and the few songs of Marguerite Farrell, the rest of the work is very mediocre, especially so in contrast with the clever performance of inimitable Lew Fields. Alice Fischer as Mrs. Schniff just misses success, for occasionally she shows a truly comic gleam, but she often...
...surprisingly varied body of people have responded to this plan. Among those listed is a locomotive engineer, who, having finished beginner's Latin, is going on with advanced work for pleasure. Railway clerks, men in mining camps, lawyers and doctors, ministers and court reporters are fellow students. A girl who gives her occupation as tub mending is deep in the translation of Virgil. Instructors of science and mathematics feeling that their training has been too specialized are studying Latin, and Catholic sisters are taking courses to improve their teaching. Evidently under such a system many people, heretofore unable to receive...
...Cowley's lines "To a Girl I Dislike" furnish an admirable example of the proper use of vers libre, and all in all the best in the number. In the light of the title the whole might be more subtly forceful without the last two lines, for they are distinctly anticlimatic. Mr. Garrison's venture into formless verse is likewise successful, but the other two representatives of this school were better undone...
...sketches in prose Mr. Putnam's have vigor of both thought and expression, while Mr. Cabot's have neither. Mr. Davidson's story about the pianola girl is slight, perhaps obvious, to the critic, but certainly not to the "tired College student" and the "tired business man." Mr. Mardigan's letter on military science is forceful and true; it should be read by every man who intends to condemn the Regiment. "The Regiment is gone; unmourned, to be sure, but not unappreciated...
