Henrik Ibsen will reach his SEVENTEEN
be improved in a manner which cannot but
suggest to some of us various grave ref1ec-
tions: Ibsen is doubtless genius, but it
can hardly be commended that his powers
have been of use or service to the world.
On the contrary it is demonStrable that
those powers have vastly added to the sum
of modern unrest and unbelief Ibsen is
the very chief of the decadents, and, look
ing soberly at his career and his influence,
there is no evading the verdict that he has
been, first and last. mischief-maker; that
he has undermined faith, sown the seeds
of anarchy, made life as far as he could q
mere bundle OF ironies, crushed men with
q sense of hopelessness, instead of helping
to lift them into a region of charity and
good cheer And yet he is to receive honors
such as have been rarely bestowed; he is
to be treated as though he was a benefac-
tor of his race, instead of being, as the fact
truly is, of the most persistent clogs
that his fellows have had in a generation.
His own ruthlesSly Satirical point of view

Tomorrow contributed to by eminent au-
thors OF Denmark, Norway and Sweden,

his plays and in various other places and
ways this three-score and ten will be made
memorable. But the business is far from
wholesome.
Ibsen is a companion figure to Schopen-
pessimist Of mis- day. If pessimism Is the
correct view. Ibsen is no doubt philoso-
pher to be depended on; but most Of us
think that to adopt that view is to give
humanity definitely over to ruin Unless
we keep the bright lookout ahead, what has
the world or the future to offer us To be
of the world and yet to persistently fiout
and deny the world what logic is there in
that attitude? Ihsen and the Ibsenites-un-

Mansfelds production of 1.-The Dolls

crushing piece. 1t may be high art, and
THE Old Homestead may be only COM
monpace; yet that American domestic
drama from the simple view of the good it
is capable of, is worth more than all the
art of Ibsen. The great trouble in the bust
ness is in the following. If Ibsen could
go on his iconoclastic way without making
recruits the case would not be so bad: un-
fortunately what is called his realism
