...VanWinkle." Praise for the player or commendation for the play would be supererogotory, for the first is so universally esteemed and the last so generally admired, that no words can add to the deserved popularity of either. For a generation "Rip Van Winkle" has been a perfect delight to theatre-goers of America, and to have seen Jefferson in the great role which he created will be a pleasant remembrance for all time. The present opportunities are limited to one week-six nights and two matinees-and the sale of seats for the eight performances will begin next Monday morning...

It is now to be offered to the public under the ordinary theatrical conditions. The company will include the beautiful young actress whom Mr. Booth had engaged to succeed Minna Gale as his leading lady before Mr. Barrett's death and his own illness changed his plans. Mr. Paul Arthur...
...certainly suitable for the successful accomplishment of the end at which all the American colleges should aim - the purification of intercollegiate athletics. An amicable and satisfactory termination of those questions which necessarily arise from time to time between Yale and her "dearest foe" is not always hailed with delight by the press of the country, but here on the campus we do not care for sensational head-lines half as much as we do for the arrangement of a series of games...
