REPERTORY SOCIETY.

"THE DOtLPS HOUSE."

It is said that amateur dramatic societies hove not proved themselves until they have produfced a play by the noted Norwegian dramatist Ilenrik Ibsen. Whether this la so or hot, one of his plays soon flndß its way into the repertoire of most such societies. Being in many ways the father of modern drama, this is not to be wondered at. For its next production the Canterbury Repertory Society has chosen Ibsen"s t "Doll's House." This is one of his best-known plays, ond certainly a good o.xamp'o of lib work. It provides several splendid character parts, and the society is fortunate in having such artists as Mrs Milligati and lir Twyneliam to take tho leading roles. Other Important parts are played by Mrs Evans and Messrs Tothill and Shaw. Ibsen makes each part of very vital significance to his theme, and each character has a definite responsibility in thrusting home the author's point," which is usually a criticism or an exposition of some accepted social injustice or incongruity. The production is in the capable hands of Miss King, who > has achieved such notable success since she became associated with the Chrislchurch Society. Tho, season is for three nights, commencing on Saturday. The box plan opens to-day at The Bristol.
