Wrestling Bradford should have married Plentiful Tewke. Her father, Praise-God Tewke, told him so in the first act, set in front of a log-cabin church. But Plentiful (Contralto Gladys Swarthout) wanted to take a maiden's time and Wrestling was impatient. Pretty Marigold Sandys (Goeta Ljungberg) came to Quincy with the giddy Cavaliers. They were bent on building a Maypole, dancing on the Holy Sabbath, an offense not half so shocking to Wrestling Bradford as the fact that Marigold intended to marry Sir Gower Lackland (Tenor Edward Johnson). The wedding was half over when Wrestling strode grimly...

The ingrained human fondness for self-dramatization has seldom been more ingratiatingly described than in this charming and sometimes poignant comedy of the impulses...
Only a moderate sized audience was in Sanders theatre last evening to hear the readings of Professor J. W. Churchill of Andover, together with the concert by the Glee and Banjo clubs. Professor Churchill's readings were excellent and called unbounded enthusiasm from the audience. His first selection, "Dr. Marigold's Last Prescription," was given very appreciatively, but did not take so well as his others.
