...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...
...ballets showed careful training, and were well received. In the first one, E. B. Ahlborn '02, as La Fortune, was painfully careful and seemingly needed more practice to be altogether at his case.

Chateaufort goes away breathing threats of vengeance against La Tremblaye. Granger then turns to his own love affairs; for he himself is in love with Genevote, the sister of La Tremblaye. His own son, Charlot Granger, however, is his favored rival...
...third act Granger is discovered trying to climb into Genevote's window by means of the ladder. He is caught in the act by La Tremblaye, who threatens to have him arrested for house breaking. Manon arrives at this juncture and attempts to get her father's pardon by promising to marry La Tremblaye. Granger will not consent at first, but finally yields on condition that he be allowed to marry Genevote. To this La Tremblaye agrees, and to celebrate the marriage Granger tells Corbineli, Charlot Granger's servant, to arrange a comedy for the celebration. Corbineli is also told...
