...verse, there are two poems of merit. E.E. Hunt, in his modern rendering of "Sir Orfeo," shows genuine literary conscience in sticking to the spirit of the original and in avoiding plenty of chances to decorate the phrasing. "A Shell Found Inland" proved a truly poetic find for J. G. Gilkey, who would have done better, nevertheless, to tell of it in two stanzas rather than in three. The rest of the verse and all of the fiction, save for passages here and there, have already been noticed at the beginning of this review...
...hardly to be expected that the first performance of a piece so difficult should decide the question of its adaptability to the stage. Of the remarkable literary interest of the piece, and its high poetic value there is no question; and last night' performance left the impression that with completely adequate setting and management, and a better sustained quality of acting, Mr. MacKaye's tragedy may yet achieve a striking success...
...Grimes's thoughtful sonnet "The Beaten Trail," Mr. Greene's graceful translation "From the French of Rousard," Mr. Seegar's very melodious "San Cristoval," Mr. Gilkey's "Song," containing a poetic idea, Mr. Reed's charming "Melisande," and Mr. Thayer's ambitious "Midnight"--these together, one is happy to see, attest a widespread power among Harvard students to write finished and fine-spirited verse.

This rendering--of which half is postponed to the December number-- is of striking excellence. Mr. Hunt employs...
Given an imaginative girl camping out alone, a gallant youth happening upon her, and a rainstorm enveloping both, and what will be the result? If you desire a pleasing answer, read in the current Monthly Mr. Roy Follett's "The Fires,"--a story which treats a difficult situation with poetic delicacy of sentiment. Mr. E. E. Hunt's prize poem, "John Milton," may be regarded as a welcome addition to what seemed to some of us our inadequate celebration of the poet's tercentenary; and it deserves the high praise of being called worthy of its lofty theme. Mr. George...
...Coburn Players are a company trained in the spirit and technique of the poetic drama, who during the past five summers, have interpreted Shakespearian plays in the open air at different universities of the country. This year they will present Mr. MacKaye's comedy. The idea of the company is to bring the universities and the acted drama, without the spirit of commercialism, into closer sympathy...
