Several commendable features, however, offset these defects last night. The work of the minor principals was excellent. J. A. Dix '02 as Pierre Paquier, the servant of Granger, was particularly good both in his acting and in his accent. F. W. Morrison '00, as the peasant Mathieu Gareau, was more in character than any of the other actors, and, with the aid of a droll voice, was well qualified to portray the stupid countryman. Dix and Morrison were the only characters who helped the audience realize that a comedy was being played. A. S. Hills '00, who took the part...

His state presence was easy but his delivery was indistinct and his pronunciation hurried and poor. H. B. Stanton '00, as Chateaufort, the bullying captain, played a rather difficult part with a great deal of credit. His manner was necessarily extravagant, but he was inclined to overdo his part and to rant. F. W. Morrison '00 played the part of a peasant girl with much spirit, and kept in complete harmony with his character throughout. He delivered a difficult...
...Bell '00, as De la Tremblaye, the lover of Manon, had but little to do. His acting, however, was so consistently good that it is to be regretted that he was not assigned to a more important part. Charlot Granger, son of the pedant, was well-played by R. Goelet '02. The most natural and consistent actor was A. S. Hills '00, as the valet of Charlot Granger. His manner was always easy and his pronunciation clear. J. A. Dix '02, as the servant of Granger, was very droll and pleasing at times in spite of his extravagant part...
...false idea that the whole play centers around Granger. The chief character is Corbineli, who runs the plot, upon whom the whole effect depends, and who is the life and soul of the comedy. Next in importance is Chateaufort, the boaster, who is always trying to ruin some one. Pierre Paquier is the stupid servant who acts as messenger between Granger and Genevote. These three characters are the chief comedians, who turn the play from a tragedy to a comedy...
