ABBEY THEATRE PLAYERS ORGANIZE
ORIGINALLY AS AMATEUR COMPANY
GAUT 4 ?l'Of fERED ATHILETI"SSI
Dudley, Diggs, Leading Actor,
Once Used Leisure Time
for Dramatics.
"The Irish Players of The Abbey
Theatre, Dublin, came into being
largely as an amateur company
many years ago," stated Prof.
James M. O'Neill of the speech de-
partment in a recent interview. An
interesting story of them, which is
typical of the experience which
have produced the company, con-
cerns their first booking in London.
"When. they left Dublin to play
two nights in London shortly after
they came into existance, most of
the players were employed in stores
or offices in Dublin. The employer
of Dudley Diggs, thought it foolish
ior the young man to be wasting
its time in the theatre and refused
o give him permission to leave his
vork for the time necessary to go
to London, so he was forced to run
away. Now he is one of the fore-
most actors of the day."
Prof. O'Neill went on to tell of
LAURA J. LIBBEY'S
PLAYS DISCUSSED
Author Unsuccessful as Actress
and Newspaper Woman.
Louis Gold tells the story of Laura
Jean Libbey's life in an article writ-
ten for a recent issue of the Ameri-
can Mercury.
"Nearly a quarter of a century
ago when I was seventeen, I was
typist for a while for Laura Jean
Libbey and she dictated to me a
long series of plays and articles,"
says the author. "She was at the
time about 42 years old and in-
clined to stoutness. Her complexion
was florid, her nose aquiline, andr
her lips full' and firm. She carried
herself with dignity, and spoke in
a pleasant, unhesitating contralto
voice."
"Miss Libbey wrote her first ro-
mance when she was 17, in the ear-
ly eighties. The style of this first
book and of all the succeeding ones
was essentially the same, they
shoved the mentality of 17 and
were addressed mainly to an audi-
ence of the same age," affirmed the
author.
"She began writing plays after
her marriage," continued Louis
Gold.
an interesting critical comment
given the players by one of the
leading Pittsburgh papers. "Amer-
ica could easily spare Ireland some
of her skyscrapers," he said, "if she
had just one dramatic company
which equalled the Abbey Players."
"It is generally conceded that the
season which those players spent
here 18 or 20 years ago was the~
greatest single influence in giving
impetus to the growth of the Little
Theatre movement in this country,"
concluded Prof. O'Neill.

Evening dresses grow consistent-
ly more lovely as the season pro-
gresses. The new tones in icy blue,
pink, and green satins are unusual-
ly attractive. They have a cold
sparkling appearance that one
might almost imagine that he werea
seeing them through ice crystals.
However, for the women who pre-
fer the darker shades, the new
wines, the ever popular regal pur-
ple, and the new unusual grape;
tones are extremely attractive. Wef
recently saw a most practical as
well as a most charming gown
which might be used either for for-
mal or informal wear. The dress
itself was of extreme simplicity withI
a plain low bodice, and a very long
clinging skirt. Yes, it was velvet.
And the surprising part of it was
the little jacket with the stitched,
stand-up collar of the type that
one might feature Queen Elizabeth
as wearing.
Then there was another one of
clinging soft chiffon which started
out to be a deep rust, and gradu-
ally varying through all the shades
of orange, terminated in a very pale
yellow. The dress was without orna-
ment except for the very low cowl
neckline.
And as for evening wraps, we
never saw anything more exquisite
than one of black velvet which just!
cleared the floor. It had a surpris-
ing yoke of cream velvet which was
trimmed with a blue-black fox fur,
which might also be worn as a close
fitting collar.
