...smoothly and rapidly; the dances show the effect of careful rehearsing and the chorus has evidently been well trained. The book, by T. Stensland 3L., is exceedingly funny, especially in the third act, and has a well-connected plot. In the first act, which depicts the departure of Leif Ericsson from Norway, the author has followed a more serious vein. The act is brightened, however, by a catchy "Fisherman's Song," sung by J. M. Ross '01, who plays the part of Olaf, the innkeeper. One feature of the second act is the appearance of some twenty Indian warriors...
...proclaims in his entrance song. One of the hardest parts in the first act is that of Sweyn, Olaf's foolish but sly servant. It is taken by J. C. Miller '01. He is seen again in the third act as Professor Hasafad, the enthusiastic discoverer of Leif Ericsson. C. C. Brayton '01 makes a laughable figure in this act as a Chicago wheat king of the "nouveau riche" type. P. L. Fish '01, as the insipid, affected Duke of Dedbroke, and J. M. Ross '01, as the threadbare actor, are worthy of commendation. The leading girls' parts are taken...

...scene of the third act is Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, in the spring of the present year. Professor Hasafad is explaining to his class of students the theory he holds in regard to a large rock at the base of the Leif Ericsson statue. He has obtained permission to blow it open in order that his theory may be tested. He lights the fuse and the geological party retires to a safe distance. The rock splits open and Leif and Turker step forth. Hasafad runs up and recognizes Leif Ericsson. He is elated over his discovery, although Professor Struse denies...
...Leif Ericsson is the village vagabond. He is lamenting with Tyrker over his ill-fortune and poverty, when Sweyn tells them that Sylvia has just repulsed Sigurd; he says that she really loves Leif. This surprises Leif greatly. He thinks that Sylvia can not love so worthless a fellow as himself, but Tyrker suggests that if Leif sails across the Atlantic and outdoes Bjarne, he will then be a fit husband...
