The play Is a tragedy dealing with the power of passions, the impressiveness of the characters, and the tlmelessness of the in r.er struggle between a son and a father. As an emotionalist, O'Neill is concerned not with the sciences that man must master with his mind but with the crude elements of nature that man must battle with his arms. His subject deals entirely with grim forces. Mow does a play of this type benefit the audience? Robert D. Horn, professor of English feels "the audience can be grateful to Mr. Hinze and his able cast for bringing back one of the best plays of America's most power ful dramatist. Produced in the frenetic Twenties, "Desire Un der tlie Elms" reflects the quali ties of its era of lunging confu sion." The elms have receded to a symbol; but desire is an earthly urge that dominates both the author and his creatures. We can take one of two attitudes: view the play as a specimen of our dramatic coming-of-age, or consider it as of the present, for its pertinence, or even univer sality. "We feel the intensity of a suffering that is of oui own rock and soil and tough elmwood. And from that tragic suffering we are again made aware that character is fate.” Tickets are on sale at the U.T. box office daily from 1. to 5 p.m. or by calling ext. 401.
