...extract money from innocent Westerners, M. A. Kister converts an atheist into a believer and man of power by means of a railway accident. So far there is nothing beyond the usual legerdemain of the short story; but Robert H. Chambers has achieved a more difficult feat. His "Nigger of No Account" is well no the way which leads to literature, because the author has sympathized with his hero. I am arraid that in the craze for technique the necessity of sympathetic understanding is too often forgotten; the story goes with a click, like a child's toy, but soon...
...fact that Barre did nothing remarkable when the first installment of bonds was floated and now suddenly bursts into fame has a little hidden meaning. There is a nigger in the woodpile. The little excursion of the R. O. T. C. put Barre on the financial map,--that is the truth of the matter. Allowing that each man spent ten dollars during his stay, Barre now owns ten thousand dollars more than when we arrived. Fords are now seen where the work-horse was once supreme.

In connection with these it is almost needless to mention the dramas of Percy MacKaye '97, especially "The Scarecrow", produced in 1910, and "The Faith-healer" of William Vaughn Moody...
Edward Sheldon '08, already well known for his "Salvation Nell," "The Nigger," and "The Boss," was last night called upon to bow his thanks at the Plymouth for the hearty reception given his latest play "The Princess Zim-Zim." Although the program labels this piece very simply as "a new play" it might well be called a semi-tragic comedy of realism: a first act of pure and unusually delightful comedy, a second and third of good melo-drama, and finally an epilogue that makes appeals by way of its persistence in sticking to facts, as ordinarily experienced...
