Last season's production, "The Isle of Surprise," an oriental melo-farce with musical accompaniment, marked the zenith of the club's achievement. It was presented 26 times before packed houses throughout the country, and earned the sincere commendation of press and public alike. The piece was purged of every vestige of professionalism: it was an undergraduate product from start to finish, Student efforts in the field of acting, singing, dancing, coaching, playwrighting, composing, orchestration, designing and execution of scenery and costumes, creation of electrical effects, financial management and publicity placed a smooth and meritorious production before more than...

Mr. Gustave Lagye then re-translated the title "Le Cadet de Marine." Augustine Daly bought the American...
...beautiful concert on Thursday evening in Sanders theatre will regret that the cello selection played by Mr. Hekking under the simple title "Melodie," by Mathuet, was not more fully described, when they hear that the real title of the piece is "Electra's Invocation." It is part of the melo-drama music written by Mathuet to accompany Leconte de Lisle's powerful condensation and adaptation of aeschylus' Oresteia, "Les Erinnyes." It is played while Electra is reciting her Invocation to the gods, standing by her murdered father's tomb. Yours truly...
