...Dickens will be cemented in the centennial celebration of the "Pickwick Papers", the first book to bring him fame. This-celebration will be in the nature of a Dickens American Pilgrimage tomorrow the day that Mr. Pickwick opened his shutters of his rooms in Goswell street to the newly-radiant sun 100 years ago and speculated upon his adventures, and will include visits to the State House, where Governor Fuller will receive the "Commodore Coach" and its members, and Harvard, where President Lowell will greet the characters...

...Devil in the Cheese (produced in Pasadena a year ago). In Tom Cushing's play, a piece of cheese before bedtime brings on a good dream in which the secret chambers of a girl's mind are explored. Everywhere, the seeker finds the radiant image of her lover enshrined in fancy as President of the U. S., single-handed conqueror of South Sea Island tribes, hero in all things. This sublimated suitor is, in reality, a ship's steward, opposed by the girl's father who prefers a colorless favorite of his own choosing. The action...
