Company Scores Hit in “The
Lady from the Sea”
Irene Stewart, in the part of Elida,
played her best role of the school year !
last Thursday and Friday when Ibsen’s
• Lady From the Sea” was staged by the
Company before two moderately filled
houses. There was something nervous,
highstrung, odd in the role, a peculiar
psychological study which presented the
most difficult problem for characteriza
tion, and yet she played to the part until
her longing for the sea could almost be
read in her eyes.
Darrell Larsen, as Dr. Wangel, ex
ecuted the elderly parish doctor with a
manner of reality. No small amount of
credit, is due him for undertaking the
part as late as two weeks before the pro
duction. yet he played into the character
with the assurance of a great deal of
work and ability.
Play Marked By Acting.
The play was marked among other
things by the general quality of the act
ing. The cast was small and the parts
long, which enabled the players to work
together with greater understanding and
intimacy with the idea. Ibsen’s work is
rrcnerally marked with heavy characteri
sation and in this instance the east suc
ceeded in putting over the heavy scenes
with vividness and reality.
Tn the part of Arnholm, .Tohn Canoles
represented a stable, conservative type of
man who had passed his days as a
younger man and was facing the age of
P,R. There was quality to his character
and an honesty to his manner that was
assuring.
Dorothy Woof ton and Doris Pitienger.
in the parts of Bolletta aud Hilda, re
spectively. as two daughters of the old
doctor, played their roles in a way that
represented the type of the Norwegian
young lady of 1S00. As the older sister.
Dorothy Wootton played with grace and
reserve, while Doris Pittenger won the
audience with her impulsive ways.
Claire Wallace Plays Stranger.
The Stranger is one of Ibsen’s char
acters that lie choses to reveal but par
tially. Claire Wallace interpreted the
character as a man with remarkable force
and reserve, with emotion rather than
passion, for there was evidence of a
powerful will and self-control.
Harold Brown played the role of Lyng
strand, a young sculptor who was ill in
health and who had almost pitiful hopes
for the future. He was impulsive, lack
ing in reserve, an ideal type of the sort
that takes himself and his future too ser
icus'y. In contrast to the heavy parts in
the leads, Ballested, played by Reuel
Moore, took the house with his capers as
an rrtist, and musician. He was a queer
sort of philosopher who saw the world
as a place of promise for all who could
“ae— aeli-limatize themselves.”
Clitics are of the general opinion that
the fullest possibility of the ‘‘Lady of the
Sea” came nearer being than
was the case in other of the heavier
plays of the year.

FINAL TO PIGGERS
Junior Week-End Issue Is Christened
“Piggers Number”; Bachelors
Insist on ‘‘Stag Number.”
Owing to popular demand and an in*
cre'asing respect of that all University
■''Port, date digging, it was decided by
the Leinon Punch staff yesterday even
ing, to christen the last issue of the
1 illicit Piggers Number.” Requests for
Stag Number, in honor of the con- ‘
firmed bachelors, were also rather in- ^
sistent, but owing to the fast decreasing
membership in the order of “Personal I
Piggers at this time of year, it was dc- }
cided that it would be much safter as i
well as much more popular to tag it j
the “Piggers Number.” It. is the plan 1
of the Punch staff to make the last is
sue the best of the year and in order to !
accomplish this all contributors are asked
to turn in their work as soon as possible,
as nothing will be accepted after May 3.
Harris Ellsworth, business manager,
plans to print extra copies of the Lemon
Punch for the junior week-end guests
and asked that all organizations turn in
the number of extra copies they desire
as soon as they can do so, so that a
definite number of copies may be de
cided upon.
There will be a meeting of all former
art contributors as well as new artists
who wish to contribute to the last issue,
in the journalism building at 8 o’clock
tonight, according to Frank Short, art
editor. The art contributions must be
in not later than May 1. he stated, so
that necessary time may be allowed for
the engraving work.
