THE LATEST PLAY OF IBSEN

"Little Eyofl," in Which He Lays Bare the Human Heart.

A Deep and Delicate Study in Human Emotions -- The Main Incidents in the Play.

The Great Norwegian May Have Taken A Lesson From Maeterlinck, the Belgian Dramatist.

Henrik Ibsen's last play is "Little Eyolf," and it is prettily published by Stone and Kimball, Chicago, in Green Tree Library.

It is a psychological presentation of an unhappy marriage. The woman, Mrs. Allmers, loves her husband passionately. He loves her quietly, incidentally and complaisantly. She is beautiful and rich. He has married her because of these things, and because her beloved sister had suffered with him the inconveniences and chagrins of poverty. That sister had a home with him, and spent most of her time caring for Eyolf, the maimed son of Allmers. This little Eyolf was injured by falling from the table when he was a little babe. Allmer's sister Asta had gathered him up in her arms, and carried him, broken and harmed past remedy to the young parents, where they sat oblivious of the world wrapped in each other's smiles.
