Consummate success—that is the ex- pression which fits the initial achieve- ment of the Yale Dramatic Association. Not even the most exacting critic could honestly stint his praise. It is only reasonable that the best of amateurs should be judged as amateurs. And when it can be said without a dissent- ing voice that the Yale performance betrayed no amateur tokens; when all witnesses concur in the opinion that the average work of the Yale company was scarcely, if at all, inferior to the average work of professionals, the term “con- Spring Oxfords Double Sole Wax Calf, Russia Calf and Patent Leather New Lasts. rer bhooomn The New Haven Shoe Company 842 and 846 Chapel Street. F..B. WALKER & Co. ‘TAILORS SUCCEEDING F. R. BLISS & co. CHURCH AND CHAPEL STREETS FRANK B. WALKER CHAS. P. WALKER summate” does not seem extravagant. | Even in the matter of punctuality, which is the last thing in the world to expect of amateurs, there was nothing left to be desired. And the more vital were the demands of the situation the better were they met. One of the two plays presented the difficulties of tragedy; the other was a mystery play and presented the mediz- val incongruity of an abrupt transition from a frolicsome to a reverent mood. Yet in neither case was a smile pro- voked at the wrong time, nor was it mere indulgence which saved the per- formance, but to one of the most criti- cal audiences ever assembled, the tragic parts were tragic; and the mys- tery play, after provoking continuous chuckles of delight, moved the entire audience, and to some eyes brought tears. THE PARDONER’S TALE. The first of the two plays was taken from Chaucer. It is the famous allegory known as The Pardoner’s Tale, and was dramatized for the occasion by Mr. Harry Dexter Wescott of the Junior class. It lends itself to dramatic form with singular facility, and affords the so-called “action,” “situations” and “climaxes,” in a way which (to speak in paradox) is quaintly modern. The very rising of the curtain was the signal for a round of applause, so’ picturesque was the scene disclosed. In it were introduced all of the elements which weave the tragedy. In front of a tavern are gathered the boisterous carousers, who soon take up their deliriously flip- pant crusade against “that false traitor, Death,” and who find him, fatally and unexpectedly, through their own blind cupidity. Aloof and silent amid their revelry sits the grey old sage who moralizes the play; and presently, to the sombre tolling of a bell, enters the funeral procession. Nothing in the whole evening was better conceived by the dramatist or played with a finer spirit by the actors, than this opening scene. The sage of this dramatic version was created out of a few suggestive lines in the original poem, and his part de- veloped into one of the dominant notes in the play. His austere and yet pathe- tic presence sets off every~ situation; and when, in a vain endeavor to fore- stall the threefold crime at the end, he stumbles, breathless, into the death- chamber, the juxtaposition of the young men dead in their guilt and the old man innocent and regretfully unable to die, lends poignancy to the climax.
