...Hundred Years Old," a new drama in five acts, was presented at this theatre on Monday night. The play itself is very improbable in plot, and depends for its interest entirely upon good acting, which, it is needless to say, it receives from the Museum Company. Jacques Fauvel, "Le Centenaire," is the central figure of the piece, and the part was acted by Mr. Warren in a manner to put the impersonation on a par with his greatest achievements. Jacques Fauvel is not a senile dotard on the verge of the grave, but a hale and hearty old man, with...
...ground afforded for fault-finding. But the very fact that a student criticises the methods in vogue here shows that he has an interest, albeit not a lively one, in the conduct of the college and in his own studies. Persons rarely indulge in criticism unless their taste and good judgment are offended; nor do students care a straw how recitations are conducted when they have nothing at stake. True, in many cases grumbling is heard because the standard of scholarship is kept as high as it is, but those who indulge in this are not the ones to write...
Professor Trowbridge has analyzed our Cambridge gas, and, though many of us have failed to recognize the fact, has found its illuminating properties quite good. When Fresh Pond is examined in the same manner we hope, for the peace of those about us who are in the habit of drinking water (as some are), that the results will not be published. It is not enough that the famished Commoner, as he sits down to his Spartan repast, should have his senses of smell, taste, and hearing shocked by his food and "table-talk," but, as he raises the goblet...
...Regatta, will furnish another attraction for Springfield that week, while the large number that will attend insures all the clubs against pecuniary loss. Though the Freshman Nine is, as yet, far from organized, they played a game with the Boston Juniors on Fast day and showed much individual good play. The defeat on that occasion may perhaps be excused when we consider Captain Perry's accident, and the fact that the composition of the Nine on that occasion was more the result of chance than selection. But energy in base-ball is not manifested by Freshmen alone. Our University Nine...
...Clark play leading parts, - such a story, I say, is not entirely exempt from the charge that its "characters are taken from Newgate." Hauseman is certainly a villain, and Clark, the murdered man, was little better. Even Eugene Aram, whom my critic seems to rather admire, is not a good man; for, despite his good traits, - his love of study, fondness for animals, etc., - we ought not to admire a man who becomes deliberately the accomplice in a most shameful murder, I care not what may be his motives. Lytton himself, when afterwards alluding to this novel, speaks...
