GRADUATES' NIGHT.

The First Performance of the "Flying Dutchmen" Well Received.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Graduates' Night performance of "The Flying Dutchmen," the Hasty Pudding theatricals, which was given last night was so well received that the complete success of the play seems assured. The performance was without any of the hitches apparent at the dress rehearsal of Tuesday night, and principals and chorus are now perfectly familiar with their parts and capable of making the most of the play. The principals are all fairly good, but Schurz as the poor musician, Woodruff as Katrina, Miller as the villain, and Parker as the burgomeister, did especially well. The chorus are still somewhat awkward in their movements, but this is chiefly on account of their number.

As is usually the case with Pudding theatricals, the specialties were funny and were enthusiastically received. Those in the second act are all on undergraduate life and have already been described in the CRIMSON. In the third act they are of a more miscellaneous character, the best of them being a burlesque of the play "Secret Service," by Schurz, Woodruff, and Stillman, a burlesque of Anthony Hope's novel "Phroso," by Miller and Johnston, and a graceful skirt dance by Scaife and Fenno.

The full cast and the choruses are as follows:

Ludwig van der Bloomer, burgomaster of New Amsterdam, A. H. Parker '97.
