...play opens with a prologue, but the speaker is interrupted by a citizen, who leaps onto the stage and demands that the actors introduce a citizen into the cast. The citizen's wife, who has joined him, suggests that Ralph, the apprentice, take the part. While Ralph is dressing, the first act, including a rather conventional love-story between Jasper Merrythought and Luce Venturewell is acted. In the second act, Ralph appears dressed as the Knight of the Burning Pestle, and, at the frequent interruptions of the citizen, goes through many stirring adventures, in all of which he comes...
...fully into the sprit of the grotesque Knight, adding many clever individual touches to a very difficult part. In the female parts, T. W. Knauth '07 was a charming and attractive girl, although he was somewhat ill at ease, and C. B. Wetherell '08 were excellent hustling citizen's wife.

...about an hour. It treats of two poor artists, Pepe and Pepito. Don Manuel returns from Cuba very wealthy, and takes Pepe as his nephew to live with him in his magnificent house. It develops later that Pepito is the real nephew, and just as Pepe and Consuelo, his wife, think they must leave Don Manuel, Pepito arrives and the wealthy uncle keeps them all as his own family. The humor of the play revolves about old Don Cleto, Pepe's father, who uses wrong words, mispronounces, and disputes himself, and is always entangled in the mazes of his vocabulary...
