See the gasoline engine and alfulfa

accorded The dramatic action
and dialogue were of a higher order
than most of the companies that make
this city The stage properties and set
tings left much to be desired however
But as to the play itself from such
like good Lord deliver us A carbolic
acid bath and a formaldehyde disinfec
tion cant phase the seal brown taste
left in the mouth by this attempt of
Ibsen to teach a great moral lesson
in the marriage realm
Contrast the immoral life of a Pari
sian artist with the dissolute career of a
Norwegian officer forsooth One virtu
ous healthy God fearing Norwegian
home among the honest upright decent
common people gives them both the lie
But no ray of hope is discernible in
Ibsens moral lessons just the sodden
rot of heredity the sins of the fathers
upon the children Even the parson
libel God Almighty
was an emasculated on
mighty and the Gentle Nazarene
The local psychological phenomena
were scarcely less interesting and bewild
