Miles and Thompson have just published the musical score of the Hasty Pudding play, "Hamlet or The Sport, the Spook and the Spinster" by P. G. Atherton '93 and E. H. Abbott '93. The book is attractively gotten up and is sure to find favor not only with those who have sung the music or heard it sung, but also with others who enjoy the spontaneity and spirit of college songs.
The first page contains a new feature in the form of a synopsis of the play together with the cast of characters and a brief description of each. This makes the whole thing a connected story and takes away the disjointed effect of a mere collection of songs. There are twenty songs in all among the most popular of which are "Hamlet's Song." the "Ghost's Song," the topical duet "I have heard so they say" and the "Conspirators Trio." All of these have catchy airs which will doubtless be taken into the repertoire of college whistlers. The music is all good and the book certainly deserves a large sale. Copies may be obtained of Thurston and Briggs and Briggs.
