...honors. In reading, one might question the success of the play. But there are infinite opportunities for unsuspected effects in acting, and the Jewett players as cast have "come across" with uncanny cleverness. Miss Willard as Dolly shows 100 percent improvement over her last year's powers. Each phrase and gesture counted; she was consistently trivial, consistently lovable, like Dulcy, in her ingenious sympathy for her friend and her naive discomfort over her bills. Mr. Clive was a bit slow in falling into the husband's character, but when he reached the famous quarrel scene he was at his best...
...spite of the fact that there has been much of talking, writing, and theorizing about the Faculty Advisers, and in spite of the fact that we have them now, the present situation is far from satisfactory. The cause of dissatisfaction can be summed up in one phrase the advisors do not advice.

The blind poet is in vaudeville--surely a place can be found for the "morning-star" of English poetry in musical comedy; the Wife of Bath has possibilities. Not to mention the enormous advantage...
...recent statements when he testified before the Lockwood Committee in New York hardly seem, compatible with the principles which he expressed last year. The phrase "God save labor from the courts" is not one which declares loyalty to the government nor does it show a desire to make use of the previleges granted to labor in accordance with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The second point noted from last year's speech is vitiated by the admission that the central unions have no control over the actions of the local labor organizations or their members in regard...
