...swift, unforeseen turn, against New England character in some of its strange phases. The third play, "Ygraine of the Hillfolk" by R. E. Rogers '09, is the second drama in verse which the club has acted in its five years of producing Harvard plays. It unfolds a tense Viking tale of wrong suffered, and heroic retribution, woman upon man. The theme is different from that of any play that the club has produced and offers large opportunities for vivid acting. Mr. H. T. Parker '90, dramatic editor of the Boston Transcript, says, "The short plays that the club has previously...
...editorial supports the scheme for an essay competition with Yale with a somewhat portentous psychological discussion. There are two stories; the longer, "Edged Tools" by H.L. Rogers, tells with considerable narrative skill the hackneyed tale of a drunkard who recovers his manhood under the influence of a girl and who relapses when she marries another man; the shorter, "Mary Hunters' Chair" by G. P. Davis, cleverly indicates the romance of two middleaged people as perceived by their children. C. G. Hoffman's "Yesterday" is one of those nondescript pieces of prose which seek to describe an atmosphere and a mood...

...fiction of this number is interesting, Mr. M. Britten's "Poetastors", although clever, is not perfectly successful: it is a tale of the mismating of two half-baked literary souls, and the diction is rich with expressions like "she glimpsed his profile." Mr. Seldes' "The Other Crucified" is a too daring conception skillfully carried out except at the climax, where naturally it must be inadequate. "The Necklace of Death," by Mr. Skinner, is a good Indian yarn by one who knows the Indians; yet his properties get him into trouble in the middle of the narrative. The verse shows...
...most ambitious story in the number is "Simple Heart," by Arthur Wilson--the tale of a romantic simpleton in a laundry and the undergraduate, not too shadowy to leave an impression of a hopeless cad. The story is told wholly from the girl's point of view; the man seems meant to be what he is, but somehow the tragedy of it all, in spite of some telling bits, fails to make the impression its elements should have commanded. "Do You Remember?"--a fishing story by M.H. Spear--accomplishes more successfully what it set out to do. In "The Silver...
