IBSENVH "DOLL HOUSE."
This Problem Play Given to a Fine
Audience at the Franing
Last Night.
Miss Marie Anderson's excellent
ability as a director of the drama and
trainer of embryo actors and actress-
es was never better demonstrated
than in the play given last night-
Ibsen's problem play, "The Doll
House." It is a play, a drama, which
has caused a world of comment when-
ever shown, its motif causing one to
think, and really wonder whether or
not the heroine did right in her final
decision. The students taking part en-
tered completely into their parts, and
gave the play as efficiently as many
professionals from whom great things'
are expected.
It was given by the student
dramatic club, the Ka Nun Ta Klabe,
and the following was the cast:
Nora Helmar Edna Kelly
Torvald Helmar "Bob" Witcher
Dr. Rank John Cary
Mrs. Linden Litta Ball
Nils Krogstad Deane Howard
Anna Dorothy Brooks
Quite a nice little sum was secured
for the European war sufferers.

DEATH OF R. G. THORN HILL.
News comes this morning of the
death of our old friend. Mr. R. G.
Thornhill, which occurred at the
home of his son, J. H. Thornhill on
Route 4, east of Norman, last night
(Friday, Dec. 15, 1916). He was in
his 90th year, and death was caused
by general debility. The funeral will
Le held at the Thornhill home at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. L. H. Havill.
Mr. Thornhill had spent a long and
useful life, retaining his excellent
mental faculties to the last. He was a
great reader and one of the best
posted men in the county. Of late
years he has been quite feeble
physically, and his death was not un-
expected. The earnest sympathies of
the community go out to the bereaved
relatives of thte respected and
esteemed gentleman, in which the
Transcript sincerely joins.
