He was introduced by Miss Edith Norton. The speaker began with comments on Ibsen's Ghost, knowing that his audience were particularly interested In this play, as Mrs. Fisk will appear at the Academy theater next week.

This phase of Ibsen'? work was written some years ago. and has been translated in practically every language in the world, still remaining one of the most excellent examples of modern social drama. Mr. Hamilton said, "women should be interested in modern drama, because diama is intensely interested in women. Until very recently, the theatre going public consisted largely of men, and now is predominately women.

Shakespere's plays were written for men and boys, the women' point of view was not considered, as only women of a disreputable nature attended the theatre. Occasionally a reQned woman, of more audacious type, ventured a trip to the theatre, but always vore a mask. In the last century the complexion has radically changed. Matinee audiences Rre exclusively feminine, and for a play to succeed, that is a serious drama, it must please an! interest the women." Mr. Hamilton said that when Ibsen began writing his famous dramas, these changes concerning the importance of women, in places 6ther tjian the home, were taking place, and the result of this atmosphere shows clearly in large majority of his works.

The speaker named various dramas, outlined their plots, all of which had women as their leads, and dealt with the spiritual struggle of the feminine figure, as well as with the relation between the individual and society a large. Mr. Hamilton's mundanlty, dry humor and indifference charmed his listeners. He expressed himself with a ireeaom ana iranKness wnicn nvr ceases to interest. He has lectured at nearly every university and college Importance in this country ana nas spoken before hundreds of clubs.
