With plot-ingredients enough to make a brilliant little one-act farce, the producers of "His Bridal Night," now playing at Ye Wilbur Theatre, have spread the material at hand through three acts of more or less questionable uproariousness.

And this undoubtedly means more to Dr. Davison than everything else...

This is the first time that either the University Glee Club or the Radcliffe Choral Society has ever been asked to sing with this world-famous organization and the occasion will be a noteworthy one in the history of music in the University, giving evidence of the wonderful success of the clubs under the coaching of Dr. A. T. Davison '06.

...were discussed. It was suggested that a series of concerts be given in Cambridge next year. At present plans for the annual concert of the Sodality, given on May 1, are being made, and it has been decided that "The Unfinished Symphony" of Schubert which was given with such success at the mid-year concert will be repeated. Brahms' "Tragic Overture" and Caesar Franck's "Les Djinns" will also be on the program. Two shorter compositions by University men, conducted by the composers, will also be played. Plans for a dinner during May are also under way, but these events...
