An actress of natural ability and
erish.d art il needed to give vitality TO
Mrs. Alving. the central figure Of ID
sens Ghosts which viii be presented
at the Lewiston opera house tonight
PLAYERS of high degree of intelli-
gence are needed to interpret the less
important characters. such leading
actress il Miss Alberta Gallaun ana
such support is at hand in the com
panv that surrounds her. Her engage
ment here viii be the dramatic event
of the season; and Ghosts" one of the
most satisfying performances. TINS
masterpiece Of the Norwegian dramat-
tst has received the unanimous en-
dorsement of New York and Chicago,
and intellectual theater-goers all over
the country are clamoring for TINS
wonderful production.
The Spokesman Review of yesterday
has the following to say of Miss Gala
tin and the play Ghosts"
Alberta Gallatin opened her engage
ments at the Spokane theater last
evening in Ibsen's Ghosts" 1t was as
powerful a piece of dramatic playwrit-
ing and as finished an exhibition or
dramatic art as has ever been seen
In this city. An appreciative audience
sat absorbed throughout the skilful un-
folding of n grewsome tale of heredity
and the demonstration. after the AFFECT
ing close of the play. made it necessary
10 raise the curtain three times.
There is nothing cheerful about Ib-
sens dramatic themes. He poses as
a sort of moralist, but there is little
of cheer or sunshine in his work. He
deals in harsh realities and sets forth
certain phases OF life in all their hide
BUSINESS In Ghosts" the story Is told
simply and easily. but there IL an In
tensity to the quiet movement of the
play that is almost oppressive. When
given by a company so capable as that
of Miss Gallatin the strength and ar
tistic beauty of the work is brought
out most convincinglY.
I'm '"Ghosts" Ibseu has successfully
attempted to show that the sins of the
fathers may be visited upon the chill
dren. While the diction is scholarly, he
speaks with almost brutal frankness,
yet in a way that can hardly fail to APP
peal to an intelligent audience. 1t is
the study Of "A problem and, while the
play might not appeal TO one who wish
es to be amused, as a thoughtful but
dramatic exposition Of certain rules of
life II may well be called MASTER
piece.
There is simplicity in the literary
construction of the play, as well as
In it's production. The action takes
place In one room and there are but
five people in the east. Excellent judg-
ment has been shown in the distribu-
ton of the roles and there was strength
in every portrayal. Miss Galatians
work as Mrs. Alving was powerful. She
has an attractive stage presence ant
