BY FORREST DAVIS. Special Correspondence of The Star and Chicago Daily News. DUBLIN, Ireland, February 9.— What will the Irish nation do with the Abbey, its nationalist theater and | the most significant cultural institu- tion in Ireland? “The free state should subsidize the Abbey, house it In a modern, ade- quate structure and lend every pat- ronage,” say Lady Gregory and Lennox -Robinson, the former one of the founders and directors, and the latter its manager. “Every civilized nation should have a state theater in which to develop its native drama,” continues Rob- inson. “The free state should le: Abbey alone,” says George . sell, the celebrated “A. E. founder, but no longer -connected with the playhouse. “I am suspicious of government meddling with art in any form. Art is not like cabbages and hams and motor cars, to be created through application of set principles. _Politicians seldom have esthetic understanding. Much of the Abbey's success has been due to its poverty and its independence.” Subject for Debate. And there is the foundation for an interesting series of debates among Dublin’s intelligentsia. The Abbey is one of the cradles of the re-born Ireland. It grew up from the so-called Irish literary renais- sance, which began in 1899. It is connected with laterally. At about the time the Irish literary theater was being formed Arthur Griffith started to preach the the Gaelic League| -| married to an upstanding young man | their paper of wood pulp, while with Robinson told me aft-|us the use of that article is a com- “tragi-comedy.” | paratively recent development In the There Is an occult element in it, a |Daper-making Industry. > from Cork. erward it was a bit of the mysticism which is so fre- quently come across in Irish plays. The maiden sees a face at the win- dow and later meets its bearer, a woman, who has deserted her hus- band and child and {s roaming the world in pursuit of freedom. The maiden, after arranging her family's affairs, coples the symbolical fig- bride- Rather ure’s plan and leaves her groom-to-be in the lurch. an_unplcasant ending. Soon Robinson dismissed the play- ers and we retired to chairs in the tearoom, where the manager gave me his views on the future of the Abbey under an Irish government, told me items of historical Interest about the theater and discussed his plays, though the latter with reserve. Robinson is not of Irish origin, but his family has been here for long and he has acquired Irish-ism. He has a view of a state theater in Dublin, with branches in smaller centers, devoting itself primarily to Irish piays. Money Needed for Actors. weWe need money sadly,” he said. ‘We cannot pay our actors what they are worth, for when they have become superior they find ready em- ployment in Europe and America And our patronage is not excessive.” I could testify to that. When I had gone to see Lady Gregory's “The Iwvagon” and “The ‘Gaol Gate” 1 passed a motion picture theater near the Abbey. It was brilllantly lighted, and with a double-breasted queue & half block long waiting for admis- sion. The picture was “Way Down East."g At the- Abbey not more than a third of the 400 seats wére taken. “We could do so much more if we gospel of Sinn Fein in his weekly.! had a modern theater where we could The three forces, the Gaelic League, Sinn Fein and the Abbey Theater, were the chief instruments in uniting | Irishmen in the desire for national 5ellf-exprnnlon which led to home rule. It was in the Abbey that those employ modern stage methods. I haye not heard any definite expres- slon from a Free State leader as to their determination, but I am hopeful that the new ministry of fine arts will devote itself early to plans for subsidizing the national theater. Lady sensitive, earnest artists, Lady Greg- ory, W. B. Yeats—"A. E.” calls him “Willie"—John M. Synge, Lord Dun- Gregory shares my hope.” Robinson’s plays are favorably known in Ameérica.

Their method of construct- ing these hives is an interesting one. After first selecting a place, they cover it with a mucilaginous paste to which they fasten thelr nest. The material that they use is wood ob- tained from old fences or the dead limbs of trees. This wood pulp is worked by the mandibles of the wasp and when mixed with the adhesive secretion of the salivary glands, pro- duces a substance that is essentially paper.

It is doubtful if any other nation has so brilllant a circle of native dramatists as the one which surrounds the Abbey. Whatever befalls the Abbey under home rule will be of large importance to Ireland. If it is given state ald and taken from its unimposing quar- ters, or whether its development as an independent movement continues, matters little so long as it still ar- ticulates Irish culture to the world. Playhouse Is CI less. The playhouse i8 tiny and drab as to externals and inside it is quite as cheerless. The building once served Dublin for a morgue and 'some of the gloomy characteristics still are in evidence. A youth took my card somewhere into the interior and I surveyed the several oll paintings of Abbey notables on the walls and examined the paraphernalia of the tearoom In the lobby. Robinson, it appears, was rehears- ing his newest play, “The Round Table.” I craved permission to watch the rehearsal, and the lad, who said he was Robinson’s secretary, led me into the darkened stalls, as they call their first floor forward section. The manager was occupylng a of the author's two trips to America and his desire to go again for a longer visit. His secretary came in with some he said, laughingly. I left him with his bits of cloth and his vision of a greater Abbey.

The woman and her husband had been living rather lavishly in Holland and police authorities there, who were informed of the woman's con- fession, have discovered, it is sald, that the gold in her possession had been stolen. The patient and her husband are held under police sur- veillance, the authorities suspecting they murdered an old woman, and were guilty of committing robberies in Hamburg, Altona and Passau.
