"Commodore Coach" to Rimble Through Cambridge Streets on Dickens Centennial--Lowell Will Greet "Pickwick" Cast

"Those private friendships that have for years upon years made Boston a memorable and beloved spot" to Charles Dickens will be cemented in the centennial celebration of the "Pickwick Papers", the first book to bring him fame. This-celebration will be in the nature of a Dickens American Pilgrimage tomorrow the day that Mr. Pickwick opened his shutters of his rooms in Goswell street to the newly-radiant sun 100 years ago and speculated upon his adventures, and will include visits to the State House, where Governor Fuller will receive the "Commodore Coach" and its members, and Harvard, where President Lowell will greet the characters.

Samuel Pickwick, Tracy Tupman Nathaniel Winkle Augustus Snodgrass and Alfred single impersonated by John Cumberland, Harry. Plimmer Ralph Bunker, MacKenzie Ward and Hugh Miller, distinguished English and American actors now appearing in "Pickwick", the Dickens play at the Majestic Theatre, will sit stop the famous old 'Commodore Coach" surveying the favorite city of the man who created them and paying their sincere respects to the haunts and friendships he chose from the multitudes proffered him on his two American visits at the height of unprecedented popularity.

At the Harvard Square, students will welcome the coach within the campus gates. Driving directly to the Administration Building, Mr. Pickwick will be met by President Lowell in an official greeting for the educational institution from which Dickens drew many affectionate confreres.

After the Harvard reception, Mr. Pickwick as Dicken's contemporary representative will go to Craigie House, the Cambridge home of his dearly loved Longfellow. Because of the regard with which they held each other as evidenced in affectionate letters and frequent visits Mr. Pickwick will approach the shrine with humble retrospect that here, upon one glorious occasion, Dickens dined with Longfellow. Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell and Bayard Taylor.

Here as he wanders about the grounds surrounding the house, he and his friends will be screened.

Driving through the beautiful country that Dickens so liked, the Pickwick passengers will terminate their tour at The Weld, the Anderson estate in Brookline. Here amid great natural beauty, the picnic in "Pickwick" will be duplicated in the open air theatre on the spacious grounds. Assembled to watch this scene will be many members of the Harvard faculty and the entire membership of the Boston Dickens' Fellowship. Here, old friends like Tony and Sam Weller, the charming, Wardle family, Joe the fat Boy and others in the immortal galaxy will saunter about the grounds as through on the English countryside.
