MINNIE MADDERN FISKE
WILL LECTURE ON DRAMA

BERKELEY, July z.-Mrs. Minnie
Maddern Fiske, the actress, who is at
present playing in San Francisco, will
deliver a lecture on The Ethics OF the
Drama" in Hearst hall tomorrow after
noon. The lecture is invitational and
intended primarily for the students OF
the summer session.
The actress will make a plea for a
more serious consideration of the best
works of modern playwrights. Ibsen
and the leaders among his disciples will
be described as authors who promise
some reform in the features of life that
have developed miseries." The work of
Sardou she characterizes as theatrical
and artificial"
Mrs. Fiske is a firm believer in the
theory that modern dramatists have a
higher mission than the mere amuse-
ment Of the public and her lectures will
deal largely with this phase of authors
and their works.

During the last few years this great
country from Maine to San Diego.

an awakening of public conscience. and
one of the greatest waves in this
awakening has been the abolition of
gambling incident to racetracks. 1
