===Early growth=== Financial problems caused club members to curtail expenses in 1895. Neither the February production, ''Who's Who'', nor the May offering, ''Snowball'', were written by students, and both had relatively small casts. The following year the club turned to a recent graduate, Post Wheeler '91, in hopes that his magic touch as co-author of ''The Honorable Julius Caesar'' could be repeated, and they were pleased with the result. ''The Mummy'' (1895β96) was also notable as the first production in Triangle's new home, the Casino, located on the lower campus near the present-day [[McCarter Theatre]] site. Yet another innovation was attempted in 1897. ''A Tiger Lily'', the first Triangle show to be based on Princeton student life, was part of a double bill with ''Lend Me Five Shillings'', a British farce. Since neither show was a great success, the club returned to the tried and true in 1898 with a revival of ''Po-ca-hon-tas''. ''The Privateer'', presented in 1899, was originally entitled ''The Captain's Kidd Sister'', but the name was changed because the [[University of Pennsylvania]]'s [[Mask and Wig Club]] had already produced a show about Captain Kidd. The "Privateer March" was the first commercially published Triangle song.<ref>{{Cite news |date=December 18, 1932 |title=Success Attends Yuletide Tour of Collegians |pages=Society Page |work= [[The Cincinnati Enquirer]]}}</ref>
