Her comment, not exactly compll- mentary to Maurice Campbell's Ibsen actors, had some justification, The per- formance was not an illuminating one, A person who had not read the play might be excused for being in the dark, Perhaps the lady who lamented the ab- sence of an “oxplanatory: note’ made up her mind that though matches are made in heaven the sulphur is often of an inferior quality, Perhaps whe wont home on a@ surface car and gave her husband a cold supper and a plece of her mind for not having taken her high wp tn’ the mountains and shown her the Blories of the world, One Consolation, Anyhow. Married people who may be made more miserable by learning the awful mis- takes they have made in choosing mates may find consolation in the announce- mont that “When We Dead Awake’ is Tosen's last drama, an epilogue to the total of his modern plays, They might consider, too, that It was written when the Norwegian’s years numbered seven- ty-one, at a time when he could hardly be accepted as an authority on the joys of married life, “When We Dead Awake" is less interesting than ‘Roa- mereholm,” ‘Hedda Gabler,” ‘The Doll's House" or "Ghosts." “What is irretrievably lost we only reallze when we dead awake,’ a the Pale Lady, “and what do we see then?” asks the awed sculptor, who has used her ag a model for his figure “The Resurrec- tlon,” and driven her crazy and Into vaudeville because he did not manifest @ more personal appreciation of her charms, “We see," she answers in a hollow volee, that we never have Hyed."
