...pedant, hardly had enough of the manner of an old man to make his acting harmonious. 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.
