SCHOOL OF DRAMA
WILL PRESENT ANNUAL PLAY
DURING COMING WEEK
IBSEN'S "GHOSTSTO BE GIVEN
Essie Jones and Maurice Clark Will
Play the Leads Play Will Be
Staged at the Temple
Theatre
With the presentation of "Ghosts"
Lthe School of Drama is taking a long
stride toward the type of play that &
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 than 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 truth
sought by Ibsen casts upon the scene
so terrible a light, so 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 storm
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" silenced
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 Unl
versity audiences and has been doing
splendid 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
Reglna. Harold Campbell will play
Pastor Manders, and Fred Babcock
will play Engstrand.
