...actors, the earliest to distinguish himself was H. G. Eisenstadt '12, who played to the life a naive peddler. Hartwell himself was taken by R. M. Middlemass '09, whose acting grew steadily better from beginning to end, a gentle, noble, and at every crisis finely impassioned figure. Miss Gragg in an uneven role gave through the last two acts so sincere a performance that the house broke into applause at her defiance of the Rabbi, and then at the last became physically uncomfortable over her anguish at Hartwell's well-acted deatn. Her appeals, her sobs, her despair, were surprisingly...

...only with a desire for more, but with a certain childish resentment against those authors for not telling us what "happened" afterwards. Mr. Millet's "Book Agent" is too incomplete even for an Incident. Something ought to "happen" in the very briefest sketch. While the American book peddler is described with an effective sense of fun, his Irish colleague is not convincing. We wonder if Mr. Millet ever saw an Irish book agent in actual life. Mr. Sheldon's contribution, "The Endless Journey," is in the nature of Episode, and displays happy gifts of insight, humor, and expression. His Cuban...

...Jonson's time. "The Judgment of Ybarra," by L. M. Crosbie, is an unusually vivid and interest-compelling story of the west. In its theme it has a little echo of Kipling's, "The Man Who Would be King," and in treatment something of its vigor. "Timothy Knox, Peddler," a story by G. B. Fernald, is not good, for it lacks all plot and the humor in its sketchy description is too palpably artificial. "An Aspect of the Three Years' Course," by J. A. Field and "The Three Years' Course at Harvard," by B. Wendell, Jr., present the undergraduate...
