...When, We Dead Awaken" is Ibsen's last play, but it is assuredly not his finest. Written at an advanced age, as was this drama of martial incompatibility and spiritual resurrection, the last dramatic moment of so great a man, was, obviously, not the best. The play, moreover, is a sort of apologia of an artist's life, the artist in question being, without doubt, Ibsen himself, and most apologias are over talkative. It is a notable tribute to the genius of a great writer that this loquacious effort, as presented last night by the Studio Players, should have aroused...

...Doris Duke (born 1912) who will become a trustee when she reaches her majority. Many a newspaper column has been devoted to Doris and her wealth ($53,000,000), her presentation at the Court of St. James's, her expensive debut at Newport last year (she was supposed to awaken to melodious chimes, bathe in water from an illuminated fountain, travel with a body-guard).
