Miss Gertrude Elliott, who plays Ophelia in the production this evening, became his leading lady in 1900, their repertoire including "Othello," "Hamlet," and "For the Crown." In December they were married. Miss Elliott created the role of the heroine in "Mice and Men," which ran for a year. After a revival of "Othello," "The Light That Failed" brings us down to the present year...
Except in one or two instances when the principals were slow in picking up their cues, their work was spirited and natural. Their lines, as well as their songs, were given clearly and distinctly, without any apparent nervousness. The leading role--that of King Philippine,--was taken by J. C. Miller 1L. He portrayed the avaricious, whimsical old man in a very amusing manner. H. F. Hurlburt 1L as Lord Chichester was excellent.

This class; the bourgeoise that arose in the Revolution, has exhausted the role it had to play in forgetting that its ideal was democratic and its aim to work.

E. Goodwin '01 as A Lunatic, did very well in a difficult role, and R. Dexter '01 and H. L. Movius '02 as Mike Sikkum and Pat Sokum, police sergeants, were clever and very funny. As a whole the play is exceedingly well balanced, with good swing and dash, and is lead up to its climax very skilfully...
...awakening of Leif in the heart of Boston, after a sleep of nine hundred years, gives ample opportunity for ludicrous situations. His astonishment and dismay is cleverly portrayed by T. Stensland 3L, who plays the title role. He acts with spontaneity and ingenuousness. He is well seconded by J. L. Kimbrough '02, in the character of Tyrker, an adventurous German with a realistic accent. F. M. Sawtell '02, who takes the part of Sigurd, is indeed an "insidious and crafty" villain, as he proclaims in his entrance song. One of the hardest parts in the first act is that...
