...Whitefield Bray, a Radcliffe graduate. The scene is laid in Labrador or Green Bay or some correspondingly Arctic atmosphere where the inhabitants, doubtless by reason of the frigidity of the environment, believe in hell with a peculiar ferocity. A boy is about to die in the company of his sister and a parson, who looks in at the last moment to say that the boy is certain to go to hell if he does not repent immediately. As there is nothing in particular to repent of, the boy is considerably upset and distressed, until his sister turns out the parson...
...study of the loafer alone is worth a man's while. I have had themes late by reason of a janitor's carelessness in mislaying them when he dusted; because a sister borrowed them to show to a friend; because the hour the student expected to spend in preparation had been used up in getting a long-distance call over the telephone.

The boy who lay for eighteen hours under the dead body of his mother in Kishineff, until the mob drew...

What is more fitting than that it should be performed by the nation whose traditions and spirit have found such worthy expression in Barthold...
...stage ways, but a trifle slow and "pep"-less at present. Each one, however, plays for character values--a trait rare in "musical shows." The heroine is gladsome, and, with Mr. McGowan, sings a clever and unique song, with words of one letter and a catchy melody. The two sisters of Miss Piers and MissWegeman are brimming with comedy. Miss Piers especially brings a most engaging gentle personality to the "un-ethereal" sister, who is always hungry. Miss Michelena is a picture and sings delightfully a too insufficient number of songs. Lynn Overman is humorous in a quiet...
...killed at Tahure in the great offensive in Champagne in the fall of 1915. They have given the majority of the books, but some have come from friends of the dead soldier while others are from the library of Franklin Haven '57 and have been presented by his sister, Miss Mary E. Haven...
