...with a freedom, vigor and intelligence which are delightful. Mr. Kendal plays with much shrewdness, and brings out the comedy situations with a freshness and brightness which are irresistible. These charming actors will be seen this evening and in Wednesday's matinee in "Impulse;" Wednesday evening in the "Weaker Sex;" Thursday evening in "A Scrap of Paper;" Friday evening and Saturday matinee in "A White Lie;" Saturday evening in "The Iron Master...
...Dredger" is a fanciful tale of the courtships and marriage of a Harvard graduate and an Annex maid.

...past. Moreover, for this reason, it would be surprising indeed if Yale, Princeton and Columbia were not ready to help in leading toward the larger life of the university of the future. Columbia, while not opening her doors freely to women, has been among the first to grant either sex alike, official recognition of deserving merit; Princeton, in endeavoring to abolish the foolish hazing typical of the younger years of American colleges, has now tackled vigorously the subject of student conference, which has been so successful with us in opening the way for larger and lasting reforms in university government...
