Theatricals are all the rage in Princeton this season. The Dramatic Association is hard at work rehearsing Garrick's "Country Girl," and if last year's successes can be taken as a criterion, we predict a treat for all. The club has excellent material and seems endowed with an unusual amount of perseverance and enthusiasm...
...original plan and obtained a very gratifying result. The "coiffure" of the maiden thus evolved was such a delicious blending of wavy bangs, "Langtry twists," "French knots," "waterfalls" and curls that it has been adopted by a large majority as the college mode, and bids fair to become the rage all over the country. The "average girl" herself bore a striking resemblance to current likenesses of Minerva, though the mouth indicated a decided penchant for caramels and ice cream, and there was a suspicious droop of one eyelid, which showed the sensitiveness of the organ in question when exposed...

This wonderful spectacle is nowhere seen to more advantage than in King Lear. For here we have a central figure too great and awe-inspiring to be lost in the confusion of the scene. Lear's voice, whether in rage, madness or contrition, is so powerful that all the whisperings and wranglings around him seem but its tumultuous echoes. The accompaniment of incidental action does not drown the voice of his supreme passion; and thus is avoided that fault which appears in some of Shakspere's historical plays, where the medley of sentiments and incidents is such that...
