WALLINGFORD NEWS
Interesting Lecture by Mrs. J. Grant Cramer, of East Orange-Ball Sea-
 son to Open.
Especial Journal-courIer News Service,

Walingford, May S.--Before a large audience at the Phelps gymnasium to- night, Mrs. ]. Grant Cramer of East Orange, x. J., gave most interesting reading of Ibsens Peer Gynt.' The Gricg Illustrative music rendered by Miss Mirabel speer of New York and Miss Violet Hoffman, greatly assisted toward an understanding of that sig nificant work Mrs Cramer's interpre- tation was excellent and held the at tention of the audience throughout. She pictured Peer Gynt not as a Nor wegian peasant, visionary, weak, ill., born youth, but as great human type-a mind feeding itself on unreall- ties, exploiting nature and man for private ends, and finally standing on the verge of that pit of darkness-loss of self. The situation where Peer Gynt deserts soveig and then after some lapse of time returns to find himself pure and whole in the love of this fair woman was interpreted in a clear and simple manner by Mrs. Cramer. This part often bafiles many of lbsen's translators and critics.
 In Solveigs love Peer Gynt in youth had seen his true self, then he loses his vision through years of shining but regains 1t again at last, and surrender ing his will is saved.
 To say that the lecture was a granc success would be putting 1t mildly.
