...Mozart symphony though perhaps not showing the composer at his best gave some excellent instances of his skill in contrasting wind and string passages. The Beethoven Fifth Symphony, always a favorite, was given a vigorous all brilliant rendering. The precision of the double basses in the difficult passage in the Trio movement deserves especial praise...
...Sidney Lee, Litt.D., lectured in Sanders Theatre last evening upon the subject. "Foreign Influences on Shakespeare." Abundant evidence exists. I said, which points to direct foreign in menaces upon Shakespeare, but we must attribute the skill with which he handle his foreign dramas rather to the gener diffusion of thought during the Renais since and to his own preeminent genin than to the influence of any particular foreign writers. To all his erections intensively gives universal emotions an at the same time, never losing sight his setting, he infuses, in his character the essential racial idiosyncrasies manned by the environment...
...whole, readable. It is headed with four very long literary criticisms-Mrs. Wharton, by H. L. Warner '03; Miss Fiona Macleod and the Celtic Movement, by L. Ward '03; Hermann Suderman, by Ernest Bernbaum '03, and Onota Watanns, unsigned. All of them are carefully written, show appreciative method and skill, but except for their actual literary merit, are not particularly interesting reading. The last named is perhaps the most pleasing. It is comparatively brief, tells something that is good to know, in a manner, pleasant and graceful-and above all is not burdened with rhetorical self consciousness, but is sound...
...foregone conclusion, after Harvard's first touchdown, that time only could determine the size of the score. The Indians played hard, but failed to make as strong a fight as they were capable of, and it was simply a matter of superior weight and perhaps a little more skill, for Harvard continually to penetrate the line or circle the ends for good gains. On the other hand, Carlisle was not greatly outplayed; when their team had the ball, advances as substantial as any made against Harvard this season were certain, but fumbles--and no team can lose the ball...
...Father Chartreuse. At the close of the second act, he removed his cowl and appeared in white satin to sing the "coon song,"--one of the best musical numbers in the show. In John de Breeze, C.A. McCarthy '02 took a difficult part very well. He showed considerable skill in his interpretation -- more, in fact, than an amateur usually possesses. His work was notably good when he appeared with the princess; their love duet in the second act was the best song in the opera. A. S. Proudfoot '02, as the princess, deserves praise for carrying himself so gracefully...
