...view of the prevalent tendency to farce these old plays wherever possible it was pleasing to find that Mr. Jewett had to some little extent got away from the beaten path and induced his actors to play the piece as high comedy, where for the most part it properly belongs. The third act, where Kate "stoops to conquer" was rendered with a most commendable grace and sureness. Percy Foster's "Mr. Hardcastle" was quite free from extravagance; "Tony Lumpkin" (Mr. Clive) and even boisterous "Diggory" (Mr. Johnston) were toned down to the proper key. "Mrs. Hardcastle" was exceptionally well played...

Over the wretched ones who have had their first drunken debauch we can no longer be mirthful; we must show them that such is not the stuff of which true life is made. We must remind the erring that folly...
...career in Foreign Trade at this time does not present an opportunity for quick riches; the path is not strewn with roses; but, to the man who properly prepares himself comes the opportunity of entering a very attractive field which has in store satisfactory returns. Foreign Trade, you say, is at present a myth. True, the present conditions are such that a young man possibly sees a quicker return in domestic activities. But with full realization of the fact that time is necessary for your preparation for Foreign Trade, is not this period of dullness an excellent time in which...
