people. The players employ no stage
tricks, nor are they dependent upon
scenery.
Lady Gregory became a playwright
just naturally. She said: II have al
ways been ar ardent nationalist, and I
have always wanted to do something
for Ireland. First I went into the
Gaelic movement with enthusiasm, and
that showed me the heart Of the Irish
people. Then I thought that some Of
William Butler Yeats verse plays
should be staged. and I went in for the
Irish National Theater society. That
very naturally started my interest in
the drama, and bit by bit l began to
write myself. l guess it was just be-
cause l could not help it.
"Our value is as a national theater,
and every educational institution in
whose neighborhood we have been has
been greatly interested to learn of us
from that standpoint. Other countries
are studying us with a view Of pattern
ing after us. The demand for a ma
tional theater seems to be universal.
"Since We have accomplished what
we have, we have discovered a wealth
of literature in every rank of life in
our own country. One of our most sue
cessful plays is written by an excise
commissioner and another by a school
master. And we are putting every
class Of Irish life upon the stage. We
are giving expression to what was in
articulate before"
Lady Gregory is a most delightful.

ner and with an inextinguishable spirit
Of youth, despite her gray hair and
the fact that she is a grandmother.
She has ruddy coloring, clear blue eyes

President Arosemena. the state de-

to delegate his powers as executive
and absent himself from Panama for
six months prior to the coming cleo

advice that this course will meet the

Situation Is Peculiar.
The situation is peculiar. but not
without precedent. The United States
herself has been obliged on rare &C.
casions summarily to recall its own
ministers because of dissatisfaction
with their conduct.
The last instance Of that kind was
in the early nineties. when Mr.. Miz-
ner was summarily recalled from
Honduras because, it was claimed. he
had permitted General Barrundia to
be killed on board an American ship
while he was a fugitive. The his
torian Motley was also recalled from

in event that President Arosemena at

his present term is problemattcal.
1t is an open secret that the depart

ence to the letter Of the Panaman con-
stitution thwarted the intent Of Obal-

sor, to continue himself in office. and
