IBSEN'S BIRTH
March 20

March 20
NN March 20, 1928, Henrik
~ Ibsen, a Norwegian dramatist
who sctrongly influenced German,
French, English, Italian, and
Scandinavian E6eratures, was born
at Skien, Norway.
After studying medicine for a
while, ItoSen decided to devote him
self entirely to literature. His first
play was failure, but, after two
years of journalism, he became di-
rector of Ole Bulls theater at Ber-
gen, for which he wrote five ro-
mantle dramas.
Success came to Ibsen at the age
Of %, when he wrote the dramas
''The Warriors in Helgeland" and
''The Pretenders," while serving as
director of the national theater in
Christiania.
In 1852 the theater became bank
rupt and Isben, enraged because
Norway held aloof from the Danes
in their struggle against the Ger
mans, forsook his country.
He wrote most of his subsequent
plays in Rome. Dresden, Munich.
Among the most famous of his plays
are Peer Gynt," "A Dolls House, /"
Ghosts" "Hedda Gabler," and
The Wild Duck"
His social dramas mark a new
epoch in the Development Of dra-
rnatic art.

times is called, is one Of the founda-

Views of Times Readers

Editor Times-What were the rep
resentatives Of the state of Indiana
thinking about when they voted for
such bills as the ''Kenney'' bill to
legalize the shooting Of live pigeons?
They must have been thinking of
their own sport. I can think of no
other reason.
The Trainer of this bill wanted to
use live pigeons to shoot at instead
of clay pigeons, which any one
knows is very inhuman. If this
law had been passed farmers all
over the state would have been
shooting pigeons on their farms. If
the farmers don't want pigeons in
their barns they can make them
pigeon proof with screens.
But the main objection to this bill

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Cheap Heat Aids Rheumatism Relief

Sir Leonard Hill of London feels
that the special infra-red lamps
providing the long infra-red rays
are no more helpful than the or
binary incandenscent lamps in the
reflector or heat cabinet.
Sir Leonard Hill is convinced that
the long infra-red rays act by their
heating effect and have no other
power.
Indeed, he found patients with
rheumatism who had been treated
for many weeks by short exposure
to ultraviolet light and to tung-
stem arcs, which provide long in
fra-red rays, receiving more benefit
from two to three prolonged ex-
posureS to incandescent lamps than

iCNCINNATI. Dec. 2o.-Here is
~ an incident which occurred in
an editors Office somewhere in the
United States and some time since
March /.
A rich man just had given $4,000 900
to his pet college, but didn't want
the story printed, and had called
on the editor to see if the latter
would agree not TO print It.
He didn't care for publicity Of
that sort, the rich man explained;
didn't believe generosity was a thing
to be advertised, and so on.
The editor was unconvinced. He
appreciated his visitors feelings.
naturally, but couldn't see that the
story deserved suppression on such
grounds.
Well" said the rich man, there
is something which may not have
occurred to you. With times so
hard and so many people hungry,
may be criticised for giving such
large amount to education, and,
frankly, I do not want to be ex-
posed to it."

There, Charlie

1T seemed to me that there were
L several episodes in "City Lights
in which the star presented char
acter who was distinctly sorry for
himself. Now, this is a mood COM
mon enough among nortals.
| But it takes the edge of the Curl
GUS sort of tragedy which Chaplin
used to project. After all, when
anybody in play or picture begins to
weep for himself, there is less crying
need for the audience to join in.
I have been told by many excel
lent critics that they watched "City
Lights" through a blur. But as one
exceedingly easy weeper over things
theatrical, I must complain that I
left the showing dry-eyed. Perhaps
this is not quite fair point.
was steeled against such emo
tons by being told too much about
how the picture would wiring my
heart. And, even so, I can't help
feeling that q little less pressure
upon the pathos might have re-
suited in a more poignant exhibit
ton.
Some of the loudest laughs which
Chaplin ever has created do crop
up in the new film And there is
one in particular which must az
ford its perpetrator great Joy.
Charlie Chaplin has managed to
slip past the censors the most ribald
episode which I ever have seen on
the screen. I liked it. And so did
most of the audience.
OF course, it's no more than a
flash, and yet, even so, the censorS
could not have missed it if they
were less naive people.
However, I don't mean to sug-
gest that it is as subtle as the
pricking Of needle. Anybody with
sufficient training in the burlesque
houses of an earlier day can hardly
miss the point. I can only identify
it as the incident which occurs
shortly before Chaplin goes into the
prize ring to fight his bout.
Even the most delicate description
of this particular episode would
make it impossible for any publica-
ton to be mailed so much as half
an inch.

they had gotten in previous weeks
from other sources.
The British Psychologists are con-
vinced that the heat appears to be
the active element, accomplishing
its results in the treatment of rheu-
matis1n by provoking perspiration,
a pouring out of fluids, a lessening
Of pain, and an increase in nutri-
ton.
It is therefore, unnecessary to
have highly expensive sources of
light for the treatment Of cases of
rheumatism.
Heat, such as can be developed by
the incandescent light in the cabi-
net or by the reflector, or by any
other source Of heat of equal power,
should be suitable to the purpose.

IT SEEMS TO ME ~ H Bzggs

MY own reactions to Charlie
I've Chaplin in Getty Lights" are
not quite those of most of the re-
viewers whose criticisms I've read.
To me it seems a little like Clusters
last stand.
I mean that even as gifted a per-
former as Chaplin can't win the
fight against the newer medium.
Several sound pictures less distin-
guished in their individual interpre-
tation are to. me more interesting
than "City Lights"
Chaplin himself has done better
pictures, although this is up to his
average.
But he has been harmed by hav-
ing his attention called too often to
the tragic nuances which lie behind
even the broadest of his slapstick
comedy.
Undoubtedly they are there. But
it is pity that the performer
should know it. BY now it is no
longer the smile behind the tear.
The tear gets too well in front on
many occasions.

to relieve pain and therefore is help

Light rays are provided in the
longer infra-red rays, which have
little power to penetrate the skin;
the short rays, which penetrate
somewhat more deeply; and the red
rays which actually may heat the
blood as it passes through the capil-
laries in the skin.
The short infra-red rays provoke

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Nineteenth Century Brought
Great Advances In Scien-
tifc Knowledge.
MANS knowledge Of the universe
IVA has grown 50 rapidly in the
last hundred years and 50 many i'm
portant advances have been made
in science that only very hardy
soul would dare to attempt to make
a short list of the most important
dates during that period.
Nevertheless. the Importance of
certain dates is beyond controversy.
I am going to list these, leaving
each individual student the privilege
Of adding such dates to the list as
he feels have omitted.
The opening decade of the nine
teenth century saw the revival of
the old atomic theory of the Greeks
ana itS establishment upon the firm
basis Of observation and experiment.
This theory has grown into the
foundation stone Of modern scien-
tiflc thinking. The astronomer. the
physicist, and the chemist turn to
the Phenomena within the interior
OF the atom to explain their OBJ
Seryations.
Biologists, uniting with physicists
and chemists to develop the sciences
OF biochemistry and biophysics. are
beginning to take the same point of
view.
And even philosophers find It
necessary to take into account such
recent developments of atomic
theory as the Heisenberg principle
OF uncertainty in their reflections
upon the scheme Of the universe

slight concession to sound. The
whistle episode, for instance, could
not be played in pure pantomime.
And in spite of the great skill-call
it genius if you please-of Chaplin,
there remain moments in which at
least one spectator wanted to know,
"But what are they talking about?
What is he saying? And what is
she saying?"
I am not quick at grasping the
meaning of gesture and uplifted
eyebrow. When a character is re-
stricted to working with nothing
more than his face I freqeuntly
grow muddled.
