The cast of the play is much larger than last year's and there is a decided improvement in scenic effects and in situations. The dress-rehearsal will probably come April 9. Public performances will be given in Cambridge the week before the Easter recess, and in Boston, Lynn, Quincy and Newton during the recess...

Miss Kahn, as Hilda Wangel, was the star of the performance; the mere fact of her having given to Ibsen's impossible heroine so much life and so much reality, is in itself the highest tribute to her acting. Mr. Lewis, as Ragnar Brovik, seemed much more at home than in "Ties," and played his part with greater ease and more convincingness. But the theories of the so-called "natural" school...

The first performance will be on April 14 at Atlantic City, and will be followed by two performances in Philadelphia...
