...fine that it ran risk of escaping notice by reason of its very restraint. Mark Kent made a ruthless and unscrupulous financier, yet with an almost superstitious reverence for the letter of the law. Walter Gilbert's lawbreaker was more than characteristically good; and, playing with unusual reserve, Miss Roach, as the banker's daughter with a penchant for reform, had well-deserved success. And Evata Nudsen made a really charming Gold-digger, perhaps over vociferous at times, perhaps too frequent and vehement in her assertions that she was a "good girl", for that is one of those things that...
...Wednesday's game. Bowdoin managed to nose out the Brown and Blue 12-9--but the Medford team evidently had a bad day. HARVARD TUFTS Lincoln, 3b. 2b., Loud Gordon, r.f. c.f., Roche Jenkins, 2b. p., Weefer Owen, 1b. c., Keefe Janin, l.f. s.s., White Buell, 2b. 3b., Roach Hallock, c.f. 1b., Kirshstein Murphy, c. l.f., Finnegan Goode or Russell, p. r.f., Terrill

The entire company deserves great credit for the way in which, week after week, it is giving such commendable productions of the best in recent plays...
...Janson, gradually gains her independence--while at the same time the Doctor loses his--are skilfully and logically depicted. There is, further, a fair sprinkling of witty lines, and some good character touches. The prevalent American tendency to farce wherever possible was perhaps unduly manifest, however, and prevented Miss Roach as "Mamma" and Mr. Bosworth as "Henry Marchant"--Eve's flance by "arrangement" from putting much individuality into into their respective parts. The role, of "Eve", on the other hand, as taken by Miss Powers, and that of "Dr. Janson" (Mr. Gilbert) were full of life and sparkle...
