ITEMS about the Abbey Players
cleaned yesterday from Denis
ODay. who is two years older since
the last time We met: Once you be-
come an Abbey Player it is almost
impossible to get fired pretty
nice, what? at least Mr. ODay,
who was honoring the Ambassadors
Hi-Hat yesterday, couldn't think of
any one who had ever been fired.
-. The players get six-week va
cation every year. LennoX Robin
son, Mr.. Yeats and Mr.. Hawks are
the board of governors (Mr. Hawkes.
representing the GovernmenD {.
There was what the Victorian spinsters
used to call "a pretty hoW-de-do"
over THE Plough and the Stars when
it was first presented. Mr..
O'Casey was taken over the Goals
plenty for his political views he
being a pacifist The reason that
O'Casey got mad at the Abbey Players
was because when Lady Gregory read
his Silver Tassie" she wrote back
that she thought he ought to change
some of it whereupon O'Casey
flew into a rage, produced II In Lon
don. and it was a flop. ne
didn't bring his within the Gates
anywhere near the Abbey Players-al-
though it is said that that Is very
much all right. The best season
of the wear for these players is during
the Dublin Horse Show. Ihey
try out new play almost every
month. Alden OConnor Is
mere 20 and the other little gal
is only a moon or so older.

Eileen Grove. Arthur ShieloS
plays manager on tour and Mlchaei
Dolan watches over the very young.
Maureen Dulaney is just as
amusing off stage as she is on.

certain film company which will give
