AMUSEMENTS, Fight Over “Silver Tassie” May Have Serious Results Theater By Robert B. AST year Sean O'Casey sent to entitled “Within the Gates.” promptly predicted it would be drama of the season. financial success in New York, stirred of accuracy Mr. Nathan had attained in his prognomcauon and passed & — on its way as the season ended. That way led to Boston, where “Within the Gates” earned a niche | on what is known as the American honor roll of art. It was banned by the Back Bay censors, joining some of the finest plays and books of the country in that distinction. Bitter wrangling and high polemics ensued. For the thousands of Americans who annually relish the visit of the Abbey ‘Theater Players as one of the major delights of the legitimate season, the news that O’'Casey was in another tiff was no news at all. ‘They well remembered the violent. almost destructive, battle that gifted gentleman stirred up eight years past | when the Abbey Theater refused his “Silver Tassie” as an inferior work. At | that time he withdrew from the group. Thereafter his works, “Within the | Gates” included, found other pro- ducers, although the Irish Thespians | retained their rights to “Juno and the Paycock,” “The Plough and the Stars” and other scripts which have been among the most popular in their | repertoire, | e IN the Spring of thls year O'Casey and the Abbey directors kissed and made up. “The Silver Tassie” went into production in that famous Dublin house which has undoubtedly gener- ated more entertainment to the square inch and the shilling than any other | plant in the modern world. Immedi- ately there were howls of disapproval | from sundry sides, and the first an- tagonistic screeches grew into roars which threaten at the moment to drown out the sweet Gaelic music of the Abbey voices, perhaps even jeop- Group Beloved Finds Sean O’Casey’s Return Very Costly.

It should not be outside the bounds of possibility for it to take such action as would insure that the Abbey Theater should serve no longer as a medium of propaganda against the Christian faith, end that never again will it dare to outrage the sacred ideals which are the proudest possession of our Catholic nation and its quickest spur to noble deeds.” “If this dramatic dose turns out to be too bitter and a revulsion takes place,” said a clergyman in a letter in the same paper, “the Abbey Theater will not be in the same position as it was when Mr. Yeats called the police- men to quell the ‘Playboy’ troubles before we were born. For, firstly, the | Abbey Theater is now in tutelage to | the government elected by the Irish nation, and, secondly, the Abbey The= ater has now to reckon with a vigor- alien to the authentic spirit of the Irish people. * ok % % THE fracas over the ‘Playboy’ was but a flash in the pan, a child's cracker, in comparison with the hos- fronted if it persists in defying Cath olic principle and flouting that reti- cence which is a characteristic of our people. Dublin people are not prudes or Puritans if they exact from a government theater a recognition and observance of the forms of plain etiquette. And plain etiquette will not tolerate horror, indecency or blas- | phemy on or off the stage.” ardize the anticipated visit of Barry Fitzgerald and his brilliant colleagues | to the stage of the National this Win- ter. It is that fact which makes O’Casey’s disputations matters of con- cern to the theater-going public in Washington. Many a local citizen, and your correspondent in the van- guard, would be sorely grieved to hear | that any kind, size and description of tassie or turbulence and balked the return of the Abbeyites to town. * %% % ANDREW E.

Her performance with Bing AMUSEMEN “A Slight Case of Mur: Woods Affair Ear is a style as lucid as that of upon our life and times with a clarity entertaining and their clairvoyance? is helpful 1o those who are interested in play and its practitioners, from the polo fields to the betting rings Mr. Runyon knows and he is able to write about the halfbacks, the shortstops, the boxers, the jockeys, the ‘golfers and the bookmakers with an understanding not often accom- plished by essayists in his especial racket. Gifted with a sense of ro- mance, he is able also to touch up the sportsmen and their lady friends with glints of cleanly sex in fiction contrived for the cinema and the livelier magazines. He is as apt In manufacturing fragrant screen idyls for Miss Shirley Temple as he is in newspaper descriptions of a yacht race or a battle between an angler and a furious fish. * % ¥ ¥ I'r WAS, therefore, with a feeling of security that one went to see, last week, Mr. Runyon's new drama about the Saratogans entitled “A Slight Case of Murder.” Here, one said to one’s self, will be a vividly ac- curate transference of the habits of the gaming set from real life to the | drama’s exposing platform. But, alas! Mr. Runyon, like most literary men who descend to the theater, cast a cynic’s eye on the stage as a means of expression and turned out a ribald honky-tonk, distinguished only by its occasionally witty and always pre- posterous daring. The play is about a gusty ex-bootlegger who, now a! comparatively legitimate beer brewer, seeks to crash Saratoga’s pearly gates and to become socially intimate wita the racing aristocracy of the Whit- neys, Vanderbilts and Dodge Sloans. | Impeding that laudable aspiration ‘s | | the presence in an upstairs room of four corpses, the remains of a quartet of thrifty hi-jackers, murdered in an attempt to rob a stagecoach.

They now appear in “Two for Tonight,” coming to the Earle on Friday. vance “the fact a majority of the players taking part in the productlon were Catholics would be sufficient se- | curity against Mr. O'Casey’s obscenity | and insult to.their own religion,” but that he was not satisfied when he actually saw the play. He also claimed JUDGIVG from the performance of Sean O'Casey’s four-act hysterical and offensive jumble, ‘The Silver Tas- sie.’ this week the Abbey Theater has decided to permit the church to be mocked, the name of God to be in- sulted, immorality to be flaunted as a matter of course and the foulest language of the gutter to be used be- fore audiences which are overwhelm- tion of “Tassfe,” into it in an effort to avoid production of “Within the Gates,” which he con- sicered worse. * x ¥ x FTER agreeing to MacNamara's | censorial proposals the Abbey | board thereupon issued a statement of its own refuting his published remarks. | | MacNamara resigned.
