She gained composure immediately and fulfilled her role quite adequately.A friend of the family. Dr. Rank, was presented by William Bodine He was a comical sort of man but doomed to spinal problems because of his father’s sins. It angered him to think he was being punished for things he didn’t have the pleasure of participating in. Bodine was a delightful actor giving just enough frivolity to the heavy drama.Nils Krogstad tried to blackmail Nora, by making her use her influence to convince her husband that he should stay employed at the bank, or he'd give her secret away Robert Flynn played the part of the shifty-eyed man to the hilt. HLs voice could have been a little stronger, twt his expression and actions made their point loud and clear.Nora’s husband refused to keep a sneaky man like Krogstad at the bank because his sins were sure to poison his children and corrupt his home. Nora took personally those remarks and began worrying about her own home and children.Soon. Krogstad revealed the secret in a letter. Torvald was furious and screamed, How can you do this to me? He told Nora she could stay in the housebut the children were no longer in her charge. They would stay together for fear of what people would say.But when he found the cancelled note from Kragstad, who had gone to live happily ever after with Christine, who caild be fulfilled by taking care of his children, he again became the forgiving, patronizing husband. -I understand your feminine weaknesses ... you don’t know how to act on your own initiative ... 1 will be your conscious.’’For the first time in their marriage. Nora and Torvald talked. She told him she didn't like being his doll wife. Just as she had been her father’s doll child. ”1 am leaving to find myself, she said.He argued, What about your duties to your husband and children’ What about religion’’’She said she wanted to first be a human being and learn to think for herself.

It's true, how come it has taken 100 years tohear Ibsen’s wisdom’’’Theater GuideHere Is a guide to films which will open tomorrow orBy MARLENE COOKHenrik Ibsen was way ahead of his time. When he wrote A Doll’s House in 1879, he earned violent reaction from the public, although in presenting natural characters in conflict with social custom and environment, he brought a fresh breath to theater.Ibsen stressed maximum fulfillment of individual character in his plays. Today we cal it liberation.Thornton Community college presented A Doll's House by Ibsen, in Building 21 last weekend with a beautiful set depicting an 1879 living room and costumes of that era. but with a message as up-to-date as apple pie.The set was built by Thornton Township high school’s technical crewKevin McQuade played the role of Torvald Helmer, the man of the house who wanted a doll for his wife, not a real personality. His portrayal was excellent, from his partially stooped body to his dramatic, patronizing voice. “Oh my precious little songbird ... my darling squirrel, ... is my squander bird spending money again?Nancy Lynn, understudy to Carmella Braico, portrayed Nora Helmer at the Sunday matinee. Her voice was light but followed the dialog without dropping a line in a taxing script. Her actions were flighty, but with an aire of self-assurance. Nora was a restless creature, not really happy to be her husband’s pawn. She wanted to be a real person, with a real purpose.She shared her secret with a childhood friend, Christine Unde, played by Liz Shrode, who seemed reluctant to give her all, although provided a good balance to Nora’s flighti ness.Christine’s desires were different than Nora’s. She needed someone to look after. She had married without love to raise her two brothers. When she became widowed and the boys were grown she was empty.During an entrance scene.
