...consonants. F. M. Gunther '07 proved himself worthy of the better acting chance furnished in the burlesque, "The Goirl of the Golden Pest," by his not too emphatic satire of the matinee idol. It was a piece of mock heroics all the funnier for being in restraint. The palm for genuine acting, however, must go to the player of a subordinate part. H. E. Widener '07 as Abadiah Butterworth," the self-made man, was the thing itself. He stayed in his part, and he never failed to make his points carry. As the sheriff in the burlesque he was even...
...Dexter '08, as Kommerzienrat Bolzau, around whom the play centres, made the most of an extremely funny part. O. L. M. H. Lyding '09 as Dr. Scheffler, had a part which could easily have been overdone, and which he acted with pleasing restraint. The most difficult part was that of Hartwig, in which E. F.

The love scene between the latter and Ludmilla is perhaps the most amusing incident...

...Henderson '05, as Friederike. In the quarrel scenes with Gollwitz, showed inimitable handling of a trying part, and created much laughter, as did the Paula of G. A. Schneider '07, who took clever advantage of his many opportunities. F. W. Cloud '05, as Dr. Neumeister, showed a very pleasing restraint and never stepped out of his part. H. Bowditch '05, as Karl Gross, "aus Berlin," and T. W. Knauth '07, as Rosa, the maid, contributed well to the atmosphere of the play...
...Fisher said, are among the higher classes almost on a par with those of any Western nation. The mass of people, however, are largely lacking in moral control. Hence the significance of the common soldiers' contact with the Christian Associations. The destruction of feudalism took away with other restraints moral restraint on the masses of people. Japan is thus in as moral as well as political crisis. Its result will depend largely on the West, to which Japan is looking for leadership. In conclusion, the speaker called attention to the opportunity for influencing the destiny of Japan which is presented...
