Perhaps the individual star of a cast of stars may be found in the animated person of Anna Wheaton, who works energetically and always freshly throughout the entire piece. She sings and dances equally well, whether in the syn- copation of "The Baby Blues" or the softer rhythm of "Who's Who With You"; and in the spectacular "Bamboula" dance,--"a hula from Honolulu,--by way of Spain,"--she demonstrates her versatility once again. Johnny Dooley is sure of causing a laugh each time he appears on the stage; one marvels that he can survive the nightly administration of blows...
...Better 'Ole" purports to represent a faithful picture of Tommy Atkins as made famous through Captain Bairns-father's cartoons. Therefore its chief characteristic naturally is humor, which, blended with some of the softer feelings which find such remarkable expression in the private soldier, is sustained throughout the entire play. A perfectly impossible plot gives the series of seven "splinters" and a "short gas attack" a slight backbone. The story centres about Old Bill's discovery of a German plot, his blowing up of the strategic bridge, and his subsequent court martial and award...

Napoleon's men probably did not know that in "The Last Supper" Leonardo da Vinci had done a world masterpiece; our fighting contemporaries probably do not appreciate the fact that Memorial contains pictures of great value from the hands...

Although the new courts are softer than the old ones, they will probably be in perfect condition after two or three weeks...
...University cricket team was badly defeated by Haverford at Haverford on Friday by the score of 306 to 59. The defeat was due to the greatly superior batting and fielding of the Haverford team, and also to Harvard's unfamiliarity with a hard turf wicker, after practice on a softer cocoa-matting wicket. Haverford caught out seven of the University team, and both Bonbright and Hopkins scored centuries, not out. For Harvard, F. C. Taylor did the best bowling, and King scored the most runs. Only two men made double figures...
