The Kenilworth Study class met ai the home of Mrs. Sidney Ball in Indian Hill last Wednesday with an almost complete attendance. This is the last meeting for this year, the next occurring on Wednesday, January 23. · Mrs. MacCiintock took up the work of Eugene O'Neill and gave the class a most satisfactory discussion of his very much talked-of plays. She · brought the study of these plays into the course on fiction because they seem to her to be the link between drama, poetry, and fiction. The point of interest, especially, was her clear and definite conception of Eugene O'Neill and his aims. She told the class that O'Neill saw things dramatically just as some people see things artistical~ or musically and that to read or to study O'Neill one must approach his work as nearly as possible from this dramatic standpoint. He is experimenting with the emotiojls of life and portraying life as it really is and in this effort he has done a remarkable piece of work. She discussed the play "Emperor Jones" where the author has taken the emotions of the primitive African and followed them through, in this strong dramatic play. · · · · · · -./ · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · il · · · · · · · · · · / / ~.
