The Fine Arts club of Fargo are
planning on giving a reception in
honor of Lady Gregory. who will
speak at the A. G. arlnory on Tues
day. November 80. Lady Gregory will
probably reach Fargo on the after
noon Of November 90 and the definite
hour for the reception will depend on
the time of her arrival.
Lady Gregory is one of the most
unique figures in the realm of drama
today. She is the author of many Irish
plays, which have been seen in this
country, but she is noted chiefly for
her work in reviving the drama in
Ireland and in founding the Irish
theater. She started in Dublin years
ago with but few men and women
who devoted their spare time to stu
dying their spare time to studying
plays with her. These plays were pro-
duced as they could be prepared, and
ere long there was enough money in
the treasury to permit some of the
players to quit their business life and
devote their entire time to Lady Greg
ory's work. Out of this grew the Irish
Players, a company which has made
several tours of this country. Lady
Gregory wrote plays for them and she
produced the works of other Irish
dramatists, notably Synge. She pio-
neered in the Community theater'
idea and soon her idea spread tc
Manchester, "nere similar EnSllSL
company was organized.
/ During the past two years, Lady
Gregory has. devoted much of he,
time in lecturing for The Drama
League of America. Her trip to Fargo
is her first North Dakota visit.
