The Irish as a race are clean
minded and virtuous people. 1t is
quite natural, therefore, that the dir
test of the "dirt Dramas" the unspeak-
able ''Sapho," has incurred the sever
est condemnation by the press of Dub
lin.
The Freeman's Journal advised all
decent-minded persons to stay away
from the theater, and The Independent
characterized the play as unclean and
declared that "any one who goes to see
it is guilty of improperly and is en-
couraging a demoralizing production"
Miss Nethersole demanded a with
drawal of these "aspersions" under
threat of libel suits, but when the
newspapers referred her to their law
yers the actress went no further.
That a small theater can be crowded
to see a degenerate play, partly as
result of a dissection Of it's character,
does not relieve the press of it's duty
in the matter. The publicity given to
it's true character warns parents with
children to guard and all decent people
to shun the playhouse while the moral
