...Holmes '02, as Charles the elder brother, acted his part with considerable feeling, and C. F. C. Areusberg '01 played well in the more difficult role of the younger brother, Eustaco. H. W. Taggart '01, as the cook, was natural in an inconspicuous part. The costuming and stage setting were good...
...becomes more interesting and several ingenious situations are rather abruptly developed. The dialogue, though a little stiff and formal, is clever and very entertaining, and the performance went off smoothly. J. H. Holmes '02, as Charles, the scholar, and elder brother to Eustace, takes the principal role, with great earnestness, but does not look his part at all; in fact, he does not look by any means as old as his younger brother; his delivery is also poor. The part of Andrew, his servant, is very well acted by J. G. Brackett '01, who gives an amusing portrayal...
...College publications: "The pages of the CRIMSON," the writer says, "are interesting as a literal record of facts that concern us; the pages of the Lampoon, as a warped reflection of such facts, as satire, which, though often crude, is based on fact.

Miss Hedwig Lange, who played the title role was most charming as the teasing but loving finance of von Tellheim, played by Carl Emmerich. She acted naturally and with a fine interpretation of her part. The acting of Miss Marie Eisenhut, as Franziska was also of a high character although her part was. perhaps, a little less difficult. The women of the cast were better than the men, but the latter merit a great deal of praise, especially Mr. Kierschner and Mr. Ottbert. The whole performance was decidedly creditable, and Mr. Conried deserves great commendation for its production...
...good deal of praise for his clever acting in both farces. A. Champollion '02 did some good work in "Un Jeune Homme Presse" and was fairly efficient in the first play. Although W. D. Haviland '02 has a difficult part in "Dardard," the excitable young lover, he fills the role well with very little overacting. The minor parts in "Crispin" were mostly well taken. L. D. Koven '04, especially, was amusing and true to life. The costumes of the men were suitable and good, but the dresses of the women were ill fitting and should be altered before the public...
