    INFIRMARY FORCES BUSY
Sore Throats and Colds Numerous; Care
Taken to Prevent Spread.
Fore throats, colds and other similar
ailments are keeping the University in
firmary forces working over time, ac
cording to Dr. Sawyer. On Monday and
Tuesday more cases of this nature were
treated than in any other two days of
the school year.
The reason given for such a large
pumber of sore throats and colds is that
many students were out late last week
'during the homecoming exercises; and
many freshman were on guard all night
at the bon-fire. Special care should be
taken, according to Dr. Sawyer, in order
that these diseases do not spread.
HENRY B. WALTHALL
WILL PLAY TONIGHT
Mr. Henry E. Walthall, America’s
great screen personality who is touring
these United States in Henrik Ibsen's
“Ghosts” and who plays in person at the
Eugene theatre tonight, has the follow
ing to say regarding the Norwegian's
dramas#
o “Ibsen makes an appeal to the actor’s
imagination, to his brain, to his sold. IT,r
is a constant mental stimulus to the
player. The author of what we call a
story-book play makes no such demand
on the actor anl affords no stimulus.
“Ibsen has revolutionized the* drama
in every country in the whole world.
People do not. realize this because they
see little of Ibsen and a great deal of
the Ibseu delusions. Ihseu’s mastery in
the creation of character has no equal.
In time, perhaps, those who imitate him
will eome to a bettor understanding of
bis purposes and methods and may bring
forth more tolerable imitations, and no
doubt there will be creative work of
much merit inspired by his example. Il
may take time, of course, but these
things will come about. There are al
ready strong indications of Ibis. As for
Ibsen works, they will probably not be
come popular literature, for they must
be read often to be fully understood and
appreciated, but their progress on the
stage is a different matter. Most peo
ple who read Ibsen for the first time
wonder how lie can be acted at all. but
the truth is that be is essentially a
dramatist, not a literoteur.
“I assure you that I fee], after hav
ing acted in an Ibsen play, as it' there
were little eslo worth the effort of seri
ous artists tliar is, among tho works
created today. This seems extreme, of
course, but. I fancy that I am muc h ilie
same as those who have been success
ful in Shakespearean representation.
They are never satisfied with the mod
ern, and, especially, the trivial modern,
of which the current drama is so large
ly composed. I do not claim to know
Shakespeare intimately. The modern
appeals to me much more strongly
than the ancient or medieval. There
can he nothing so vital to the people and j
to the thought of the present day as the j
passions, the tragedies and the beauties
of the life about us, although the form
of expression is restrained to meet the
conventionalities of the times. Ti is my
belief that the grent repertoires of the
great players of the future will be the
Ibsen repertoire just as now there is
the Shakespearean repertoire. Actors
and public will not be able to ospace
from tlu' spell of Ibsen characters. They
fascinate, they lure you to study, they
bring you closer to life.” .
