Lady Gregory sat in an aisle seat in the
last row on the right hand side Of the

would be no trouble. Indeed, IT seemed as
though the predictions Of riot were not TO
be fulfilled by the way The Playboy'
started of. There had been curtain call
at the end Of The Jail Gate" and there
was considerable applause for the first few
lines OF The Playboy"
About twenty minutes into the act how

There was considerable more Of Michael

over the erstwhile shouting mouth.
The players went through the FIRST act
and then announced II would be given over
again The second attempt went much as
the FIRST had gono-quict at first. but a
