After the interval of two years caused by the war the Hasty Pudding Club resumes its agreeable practice of furnishing diversion to an all-too-serious world. "Crowns and Clowns," the play of the year, adds another list of names, some doubtless to be famous in the years to come, to the many lists which have appeared in the frolics of the club for almost a century and a quarter. Curious enough it seems to learn that Joseph H. Choate, Charles Francis Adams and Phillips Brooks, all had their parts in the Pudding plays of older days. We like them all the better for the fact. Mr. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, of the United States supreme court, the Hon. Hamilton Fish, Judge Robert Grant, Robert Bacon, the roster is long of those who in their time capered in the Pudding shows. We smile as we notice that Thomas Mott Ocborne once played Helen of Troy, that "Nick" Longworth gave a violin solo one night in 1890, and that Thomas W. Lamont, of J. P. Morgan & Company, was a chorus girl upon a time. This year the club offers an amateur musical comedy of which the whole cast is made up of men who have been in the service. The resumption of "the Pudding" is a sure token of the fact that Harvard is itself again. Boston Herald.
