The Incidental Music arranged from the works of Grieg by the Producer, and played by the Station Orchestra, conducted by Frederick Brown

Ibsen's great lyric drama is seldom seen in England, but it was performed at the Old Vic - the famous London home of the sort of drama that might never come to London at all if it had to depend solely on the theatrical magnates of the West-end - in March, 1922. On that occasion Mr. Robert Atkins was the producer, and Mr. Russell Thorndike played the title role.

Vocalist: Doris Cambell (Soprano)
