FUTURE FOR IRISH CULTURE
Yeats, Eminent Playwright, Has Great
Confidence In the Develop
nents Of the Future.

Thomas Beecham, who took the
chair when an address on The Irish
Theater" was delivered by w B. Yeats
at Sunderland house, according to the
London Times. said the Irish theater
was the most remarkable dramatic
theatrical phenomenon this country
had seen for more than 200 years
"One phenomenon in the theater of
our day is the great revival OF roman.
tic drama In Europe. We see an ef.
fort to establish what was known as
English opera, and If that is success.
full 1t will do probably more to re
establish the legitimate literary ro-
mantle drama than anything else" he
declared.
Mr.. Yeats said the question was
often asked, What is a bad play?"
His reply was that it was play
which depended for it's success upon
some temporary interest. The ma
iority Of plays in London were of that
character and would pass away be-
cause they appealed to a temporary
interest. 1t had been said that Ire
land did not read much; but in Ire
land they would find a tradition of
spoken culture and unwritten litera-
ture, and the Irish theater movement
begun Is years ago would not have
been started had there not been cons
fidence in that culture. Ireland was,
Of all countries, the least sentimental
and one of the most passionate. He
did not say that victory would come
in their lifetime, or for two or three
generations, but there would come a
real national culture out Of Ireland

Turn 70 Painted Glass.

The craftsmanship of the stained
glass window must always remain
conventional, and bound by It's own PEI
culiar limitations; but the designer
was seeking for a more plastic me-
dium in which to express himself;
and this he found in the invention Of
glass painting, or rather, transparent
enameling, which gave his pencil
greater freedom, even though it could
not hope to equal the masterpieces of
color of the older style. And so
stained glass proper yields place more
and more to painted glass.
