PLAYS PORTRAYED
Tonight
bsen Company Will Present "The Doll's House"
That Ibsen is one of the foremost dramatists in the world's literature and probably the most prominent figure in the nineteenth century, was the cynote of Prof. A. M. Sturtevant's picture on "Heinrich Brinck." Thursday afternoon in Fraser Chapel.
"The three plays which are to be given here Friday and Saturday are the most popular of Ibsen's dramas and representative of his versatility," said Professor Sturtevant. "The 'Old House' and 'Madame Calles' work and the 'Master Builder' is largely autobiographical, in which Ibsen defines his own record as poet."
Bisset's program plays are masterpieces so carefully written that nothing can be omitted without detracting from their beauty. In them Bisset writes the first dramatic act, his power for keen observation, and dramatic development of conflicting forces. Bisset's earlier dramas were of the romantic type, influenced by the romantic movement in France and Germany, and Danish literature, with its distinct originality, in style. His later dramas are distinctly realistic.
Ibsen has been recognized in all nations. In France and Germany he was hailed immediately as a genius. He was the first to give the universal impulse toward "we want justice and we want truth." His plays have an influence toward the highest character development.
Professor Sturtevant has made a careful study of the Scandinavian language and literature and is well qualified to speak on this subject.
