At The Playhouses MA' 'JlV EDRO i OL ER REAL PLAYS, THE FUTURE IRISH DRAMAS. "Real plays, good plays, with sane plots and characters that are true to life, will be the fashion in Irish drama from this time forward," asserts Andrew Mack, the star of "Molly Dear." Not only in my, opinion, but in the opinion of others who have watched the change coming, the day of the style of play we called 'Irish Drama' is about done. It has been known as the onoeicault School, though errone ously so, for it originated long before Boucicault was born. The plays of this famous author were delighttfl, as they were filled with true Irish wit, they had splendid plots sad were worked out in a masterly naasner. He has had no real suceaer.

None of those who followed hism had the slightest real knowledge of Irish character or possessed any constructive skill. It would be a sad relection on the fame of the Ihr Shakespeare to say that their werbt belonged to the Boucicault S'Tbhe Irish people of the presat day are too well educated in the drama to aeeept any more of this type of plays, or believe that the characters in them are representative of their race. They are abreast of the times in things theatrical as in everything else. You will find them in your Drama Leagues, in the best amateur theatrical clubs, and in reading circles where the works of Ibsen, Suderman and Galsworth are discussed. Can you imagine such people patronizing the performances of such puerile attempts at Irish plays as have been produced in recent years? It is most absurd.

Several years ago I became disgusted and gave up playing and resolved not to resume dramatic work until I found a drama worthy of the people. In 'Molly Dear' I believe I have found it. That I was correct, the support I have received from the public since we opened is good proof. "People of the Irish race on this side of the water will demand good plays for the future. They must be strong, well wrought plays, just as meritorious and full of interest as any other dramatic work.

The peopie who will support a play purely from national sentiment are growing fewer each year. 'The play's Just the thing' Just as much with them as with the people of any other race." aM Or Ieu We yen eer 4Ia at the boae A ubnL whoa the a opsagu is Yt 4ew weat oP am hayv sari nothe Mr. k.at do ss eswe ther alesk, Avuelas slM Lild mesent ua set that has prowleh laughter irom coast to coast.
