June 1, 1928 · . WILMET'TE lished late in 1899 and is called a "dramatic epilog"; he wrote no other play thereafter. It was the next year presented at the National theater Osl9 (then Christiania) and in some of the German state theaters. In 1903 it wa~ put o.n in London by the Stag~ soctety whtch had given Shaw his first hearing, and a year or two after New ork saw it f~r the first and only time. Theatron s production so far as ts now known, will be th~ second in America. This last play of the very old man looks back, as it were, over all his past work- the epic, the poetic an·d the ~ocial plays. It sums them up, discardmg ·the elements that had ceased to interest him. His style is realism, striking overtones of the symbolic, and as dramatically and vividly as ever before. The late William Archer, Ibsen's first champion in England, whose tran slation of the. play is being used, felt that the technique faltered because the symboli sm in a point or two escaped the realism altogether. In this day when r ealism is no longer sacred in the theater, this objection is not valid . LIFE Ibsen's Last Drama Will Be Revived by Evanston Theatron By Paul McPbarlin (Note: "When We Dead Awaken" by H enrik Ibsen will be the second production of Theatron's Season, to which the people of the north shore are now subscribit~g, at the Woman's club in Evanston beginning next November. Mr. M cPharlin is designing and directing the six plays about which he is writing these articles.) Raymond M. Weaver of Columbia university asked a group of the fore most critical thinkers of today to rate some of the great. · . Out of a maximum score of 25 Shakespeare received 21.9 and Ibsen 15.8, standing above Moliere, Goethe, Shaw, Aeschylus, Euripides and O'Neill. Born just a century ago, Hendrik Ibsen wrote plays that blew up a cyclone and drove European drama from the course along which it ha s been sailing into the waters, still troubled, it navigates at present. Every playwright who wishes to treat life serious ly has him to thank. It will be seen by the rating he re ceived how highly he ranks 22 years after . his death. A hundred years from now, on his second centennial, his · reputation may no longer overshadow that of Ae schylus, Moliere or Goethe -but how it will stand only the future knows.
