...Bell '00, as De la Tremblaye, the lover of Manon, had but little to do. His acting, however, was so consistently good that it is to be regretted that he was not assigned to a more important part. Charlot Granger, son of the pedant, was well-played by R. Goelet '02. The most natural and consistent actor was A. S. Hills '00, as the valet of Charlot Granger.

Granger himself and his son, Charlot, are both in love with La Trenblaye's sister, Genevote. In the many amusing situations which result from this complicated state of affairs, Corbineli, Granger's body servant, plays an important part.
