...would be hard to find conditions for successfully producing this play in the best professional theatres in New York. It is not strange that the older advisors thought that the Harvard Dramatic Club was steering straight for certain failure when it decided to attempt this task. But the young men and girls of the Club were right; they knew what they could do, and they did it. The play was a success in every detail, not least in the stage settings, which were the most successful seen for many years in Boston or Cambridge. And the effect of the whole...
...picture is one to fire the imagination, it also touches the funny bone. The Conquest of the Sahara, the Desert giving up its Secrets, Months of Careful Planning and Preparation,--and five earnest-faced Frenchmen sitting stiffly at the wheels of their caterpillars, staring straight ahead and bumping over the sand at ten miles an hour. It is a delightfully incongruous blending of poetry and prose, of the sublime and the ridiculous. Phineas Fogg himself, with all his mathematical intensity of purpose, would never have girdled the earth from North to South instead of from East to West...
...Lawrence Foster 2L. 10-15, 15-9, 15-10, 15-9. Hinkle played high lob shots to Foster's backhand in the back of the court, and won mainly through his opponent's errors. R. P. Rose '25, playing his first match for Team A, was easily defeated in straight games by D. M. Gilmore 3L. 15-12, 15-8, 15-12. J. H. Douglas 2L. was too experienced a player for J. J. Glessner '25, winning 10-15, 16-15, 18-16, 15-10, although the latter did very well, playing the best squash of his career...
Team B journeyed to Quincy on Saturday and was beaten three matches to two by the Neighborhood Club. The team, although dropping from second to third place, still has an excellent chance for the League B championship. E. M. Upjohn '24 showed excellent form by his straight defeat of R. V. Wakeman 15-8, 15-10, 15-6; and Darragh Louderback '24, by only losing to Karl Pfaffman '24, playing for the club, 17-13, 10-15, 15-13, 13-15, 15-11. E. K. Davis '24, after a bad start, won the only other match for the University, defeating...
...plot is straight forward and uninvolved. Robert Levaltier, a young secretary, saves his employer from bankruptcy and thereby wins the hand of his daughter, Helene. This is the foundation of an exceptionally brilliant dialogue to the excellence of which may be attributed the success of the whole play...
