...Shaw's latest and wittiest play to see our stage was presented Monday for the first time in Boston, by Mr. Faversham and his wonderful company. Mr. Faversham, having essayed, in the immediate past, the roles of a faun, a gentleman gambler and a barbaric king, was quite at his best last night as a bishop of the Anglican Church. Until recently, the dramatic tradition of the English stage has tacitly and unalterably ordained that a clergyman of that religious body should invariably be a pompous and platitudinous ass. Mr. Shaw and Mr. Faversham, being men of the world...
...colleges of this country have a large role to play in the coming struggle--whether it be actual war or peaceful competition. I can not emphasize too strongly this fact. We must be a strong country in the industrial as well as the martial world. We must conserve more and more of our natural resources and we must apply all our scientific knowledge to get the maximum output with minimum labor fatigue. Our universities can be the first to promote this nation-wide movement. Yale can be a leader of industrial preparedness just as it has been among the foremost...
...play was exceptionally well acted in every detail. Miss Fulton, the author, lived the title role. Never once did she lose her grasp on character or audience. Her slang was never forced, her humor was always delicate and unflagging, and she extracted every particle of sympathetic enjoyment from a splendid characterization.

...cast--Miss Grace George has finely appreciated the role of Barbara, and does more than justice to the part. From enthusiasm to discouragement, she is always the artist, and the noticeable suppression of ranting and rank melodrama is quite evident. Barbara is a dignified character and Miss George makes her fascinatingly so. Mr. Ernest Lawford as Adolphus Cusins is very successful, and his interpretation of the Greek professor could not well be improved upon by the present generation of actors. Two members of the cast as originally played in New York were missing, Mr. Louis Calvert, whose voice so suggested...
...given in Agassiz House, Radcliffe, this evening at 8 o'clock. The play to be presented is "L'Aventurier," a comedy in four acts by Alfred Capus, which was presented for the first time at Paris in 1910 by Lucien Guitry, the wellknown actor, who took the leading role. Conspicuous among the works of its author whose pen is famous for "Briguol et sa Fille" and other sparkling comedies, "L'Aventurier" is not entirely unknown in this country, having been produced in translation by the Cornell Dramatic Club and other amateur organizations. The production of a play by Alfred Capus...
