By ELINOR WILHOIT
"The noblest thing Ibsen ever did** has been said of that famous dramatist’s play “Ghosts,” which the National Collegiate Players are pro during in Bovard auditorium on Friday, January 17.
Ibsen knew when he wrote the drama that it would arouse an uproar, and he doubted seriously whether it would ever be produced, but he felt that the time had come to “move some boundary posts” as he himself wrote to a friend.
That he was right in his predictions was proved by the fact that “Ghosts” was 18 months old before it was ever produced on any stage. The play now is presented in all countries, although up to 190f>, Eng land still claimed the distinction of being the only country in the world where it could not be produced pub licly.
