“Rosmersholm”
(The Chicago Little Theatre)
I don’t want to write about Rosmersholm or about Ibsen now. I want to write about Mme. Borgny Hammer, who is great in the manner of the great Norwegians.
There is a lot of talk about the Russian soul just at present. I wish the Norwegian soul might come in for its share of analysis and appreciation. It is interesting not because of its dark shudderings but because of its intense light and its clearness. It is like the sun; it is like wild flowers—not the delicate but the hardy ones.
