Sextette from "Lucia" Donizetti 4. Overture Athalie ....Mendelssohn WILL PRESENT ANNUAL PLAY DURING COMING WEEK IBSEN'S "GHOSTSTO BE GIVEN Essie Jones and Maurice Clark WIU Play the Leads Play Will Be Staged at the Temple Theatre With the presentation of "Ghoata" the School of Drama is taking a long stride toward the type of play that a university school of drama ought to produce. This is one of the epoch- making plays of the century, and one which, at the time it took all Europe by storm, undoubtedly exerted more influence on modern drama tnan per haps any other one play. So different was this play from any other that had ever been presented before Its time that George Moore, writing of its first presentation in Paris at the Thea tre Libre, said: "The simple truta sought by Ibsen casts upon the scene so terrible a light, bo strange an air of truth, that the drama seemed to be passing not .before our eyes, but deep down in our hearts in a way we had never felt before." Of the stora of criticism that passed over Europe, chiefly adverse, there is little to be said today. Ibsen's own answer In "An Enemy of the People" Bilenced most of that. The fact remains that now this work stands out as one of the strongest plays from the acting standpoint Ibsen ever wrote. There are but five characters in this play, and every one is important The cast has been spending a great deal of time on this production and are pre pared to give a very thorough as well as artistic piece of work. Miss Howell feels that she has placed the best possible talent In this play and is de termined to make it the big dramatic event of the School of Drama year. Essie Jones, who is taking the part of Mrs. Alving, is well known to Uni versity audiences and has been doing s-plendid work at rehearsals. Maurice Clark, who will play the part of Os wald Alving, is also a familiar figure in local theatricals. He has rehearsed the part before and ought to be able to do some excellent work. Miss Louise Dobbs has the difficult part of Regina. Harold Campbell will play Pastor Manders, and Fred Babcock will play Engstrand.
