...night, when the revival of Paul M. Potter's celebrated "Trilby" was shown at the Shubert Theatre. The fact that the cast is an all-star one and that the play went through a highly successful season last year should in itself prove attractive to the ordinary college theatre goer. Aside from all that, however, "Trilby" is remarkably forceful in every way. The setting is admirably effective, the parts without exception well taken...
...solitary symphony has quite enough in it for any intellect at one sitting. He also points out the errors of an unbalanced choice of compositions for a concert whereby one tour de force completely obliterates all the others, or at least totally ruins their effects. Any sensitive concert goer will say how true this is; but luckily, it is for the most part a vanishing evil. Notorious exceptions are the average song-recitals, when the "artist" places songs of all times and nations in a senseless and shameless promiscuity...
...extensive repertoire of Labiche is almost all one great satire on "bourgeoisie" life in France. His works have for several generations furnished a healthy hilarity for the French theatre goer.

...German play the following facts about Mr. Conried and his company are of interest. In one of the recent numbers of Harper's Magazine, Mr. John Corbin '92 says: "If the question were to be asked, what is the most dramatic instition in the country, an intelligent theatre-goer would most certainly answer, 'Mr. Conried's Irving Place Theatre.' Relying merely on the artistic spirit of the German speaking communities of New York, Mr. Conried has established a house that presents most of the interesting features of the repertory theatres that are at once the pride and strong hold...
...often suffered to interrupt action, and that Shakespeare not infrequently uses what seems to many persons a single and arbitrary psychology-vide for example the marriage of Celia and Oliver and that of Isabella and the Duke-makes Shakespeare-land seem a foreign country to the ordinary play goer and to not a few readers, who are by no means ordinary. But the realistic and materialistic trend of our own time is one of the strongest reasons for going back to Shakespeare's country and dwelling in it until we have learned to take familiar delight there...
