 THE IRISH NATIONAL THEATRE SOCIETY 
 
 This Society is the outcome of The Irish Literary Theatre, 
 which, founded by Mr. Yeats in 1898, soon gave rise to The 
 Irish National Dramatic Company. Under its present name. 
 The Irish National Theatre Society has been established, since 
 1904, in the Abbey Theatre, Dublin. 
 
 “ For years Mr. Yeats’s dream had been to set going a the- 
 atre for the presentation of literary plays that should appeal not 
 merely to a cult but to the popular heart. The organization 
 called the Irish Literary Theatre, in whose institution [united] 
 Mr. Yeats, Lady Gregory and Mr. Martyn, joined later by 
 Mr. George Moore, whose knowledge of the stage was well 
 nigh indispensable to the success of the adventure, has at last 
 made this dream something like a reality. The dramatic 
 activity, beginning in 1899, at a moment when there was a 
 lull in the literary revival, gave the whole movement a new 
 impulse. The performances of the Literary Theatre, and its 
 successor, the Irish National Theatre Society, have been a 
 practical illustration of the ideas for which Mr. Yeats and his 
 associates stand.” William Butler Teats and the Irish Literary 
 Revival , H. S. Krans, 1904. 
 
 “We must make a theatre for ourselves and our friends, and 
 for a few simple people who understand from sheer simplicity 
 what we understand from scholarship and thought. We have 
 planned the Irish Literary Theatre with this hospitable emo- 
 tion, and, that the right people may find out about us, we 
 hope to act a play or two in the spring of every year ; and that 
 the right people may escape the stupefying memory of the the- 
 atre of commerce which clings even to them, our plays will be 
 
4 
 
 for the most part remote, spiritual, and ideal.’ ’ The Theatre 
 in Ideas of Good and Evil , W. B. Yeats, May, [899. 
 
 “Yeats’s original idea of a theatre was a little mist, some 
 fairies and a psaltery, and his achievements are realistic plays 
 and an admirable company of actors and actresses.” George 
 Moore, in the Boston Transcript , Sept. 23, 1911. 
 
 “ In the express desire for ‘ something better than the ordi- 
 nary play of commerce,’ the Irish Literary Theatre was 
 founded in 1898. ... Its concern was with ‘plays that are 
 literature.’ In the beginning, English actors were brought over 
 to play in them. . . . In 1901 performances were given by 
 Mr. W. G. Fay’s little company of Irish amateurs, calling 
 themselves the Irish National Dramatic Company, and then the 
 Irish National Theatre Society. It was this company which 
 brought to St. George’s Hall, London, in May, 1903, The 
 Hour Glass and Kathleen Ni Houlihan of Mr. Yeats, and 
 Lady Gregory ’s Twenty-five. The refreshing quality of their 
 simple and sincere art came as something of a revelation of 
 what might be done in the theatre with a limited expenditure 
 by a company intent upon doing good work. Miss Horniman 
 acquired the lease of the Abbey Theatre, rebuilt it, and gave 
 the Irish National Theatre Society its free use. From 1904 to 
 1910 Miss Horniman in addition gave the society a small 
 annual subsidy.” The Repertory Theatre , P. P. Howe. 
 
 “ Once, when in later years, anxious about the educational 
 effect of our movement, I proposed adding to the Abbey Com- 
 pany a second company to play international drama, Synge, 
 who had not hitherto opposed me, thought the matter so im- 
 portant that he did so in a formal letter. I had spoken of a 
 German municipal theatre as my model, and he said that the 
 municipal theatres all over Europe gave fine performances of 
 old classics, but did not create, (he disliked modern drama for its 
 sterility of speech, and perhaps ignored it), and that we would 
 create nothing if we did not give all our thoughts to Ireland.” 
 Synge and the Ireland of his Time , W. B. Yeats, 191 1. 
 
 “ I have chosen all of my themes from Irish legend or Irish 
 history, and my friends have made joyous, extravagant, and, as 
 I am certain, distinguished comedy out of the common life of 
 the villages, or out of a phantasy trained by the contemplation of 
 that life and of the tales told by its firesides. This theatre 
 cannot but be the more interesting to people of other races 
 
5 
 
 because it is Irish, and, therefore, to some extent, stirred by 
 emotions and thoughts not hitherto expressed in dramatic form, 
 for the arts have always gained by their limitations, and I look for- 
 ward to a day when a company will carry its plays into other lands, 
 — above all, where there are Irish people, — and when I close my 
 eyes I can see all plainly. It will play principally comedy, for the 
 day of tragedy will return slowly, but of an extravagant, abounding 
 kind that is half poetry.*” W. B. Yeats, Preface to his Poetical 
 Works , Vol. II; Macmillan, December, 1906. 
 
 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE 
 For the inception, development, and achievements of this 
 dramatic movement, Mr. Yeats is our best informant. See the 
 article on “ The Theatre ” in his “ Ideas of Good and Evil 
 his editorial contributions to Beltaine , the organ of the Irish Lit- 
 erary Theatre (Dublin and London, 1899-1900) ; his editorial 
 contributions to Samhain , the organ of the National Irish Theatre 
 Society (Dublin and London, 1901-1906, 1908); his prefaces 
 and appendices, especially in the second volume of his “ Poetical 
 Works” (Macmillan); and the press reports of his addresses in 
 Boston and New York, Sept. 23 — Oct. 20, 1911. Poole’s 
 “ Index ” and other library indices will be sufficient guide to the 
 magazine discussion of the movement in general, but it may be 
 noted that special value attaches to Stephen Gwynne’s contribu- 
 tions to the Fortnightly Review ; in December, 1901, “The 
 Irish Literary Theatre and its Affinities 9 9 ; in December, 1902, 
 “ An Uncommercial Theatre.” Fresh material is given in 
 George Moore’s “ Ave,” just published by the Appletons. 
 
 WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS. 1866— 
 
 “ The future will look back to Mr. Yeats as to a landmark 
 in the literary history of Ireland, both because of his artistic 
 achievement and because he has been a leader in a remarkable 
 movement. Through his poetry the Celtic spirit moves like a 
 fresh wind.” William Butler Teats , H. S. Krans, 1904.

 Horatio Sheafe Krans, at the end of his volume, “William 
 Butler Yeats and the Irish Literary Revival ’ ’ — contributed to 
 the “ Contemporary Men of Letters Series,” (McClure, Phillips 
 & Co., New York,) in 1 904 — gives a bibliography of Mr. Yeats’ 
 work (except for a few periodical items) to that date. A later 
 and fuller bibliography, by Alan Wade, is appended to Mr. 
 Bullen’s edition (1908) of “ The Collected Works in Verse and 
 Prose of William Butler Yeats,” 8 vols., Shakespeare Head 
 Press, Stratford-on-Avon. In America the plays are more con- 
 veniently procured in the Macmillan editions than in those 
 carried by Maunsel & Co. of Dublin. In the magazines and 
 reviews of the past twenty years may be found many notices 
 of Mr. Yeats, with discussions of his successive books. A 
 comprehensive study of “ The Writings of Mr. W. B. Yeats ”

 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE 
 
 Maunsel & Co., Dublin, and Luce & Co., Boston, issue “A 
 Collected Edition of the Works of J. M. Synge 9 ’ in four volumes, 
 and also the separate plays. The Shadow of the Glen and 
 Riders to the Sea are issued together by Elkin Mathews in 
 his Vigo Cabinet Series, and another London publisher, A. H. 
 Bullen, brought out in 1 905 The Well of the Saints. Deirdre 
 of the Sorrows was published by J. Quinn, New York, 1910. 
 Synge’s “ Poems and Translations” were beautifully printed at 
 the Cuala Press, the private press of Miss Elizabeth Yeats, the 
 poet’s sister, in 1909, and Deirdre of the Sorrows in 1910. 
 From the Cuala press, too, comes Mr. Yeats’ latest volume : 
 “ Synge and the Ireland of His Time.” The Cuala Press publi- 
 cations are imported by Mr. Mitchell Kennerley. In the maga- 
 zine discussions of Synge and his work, attention is especially 
 called to Miss Vida D. Scudder’s prefatory address to Riders to 
 the Sea, published with the play in Poet Lore , spring of 
 1905, after an amateur performance of the tragedy in Boston ; 
 to Mr. Francis Bickley’s article, “Synge and the Drama,” in the 
 'New Quarterly , February, 1910 ; to Lord Dunsany’s criticism 
 of the Court Theatre performances of Deirdre of the Sor- 
 rows, Synge’s last drama, in the Saturday Review, June 4, 
 1910 ; to Mr. Warren Barton Blake’s summary of Synge’s 
 achievements, under title of “John Synge and His Plays,” 
 in the Chicago Dial, January 16, 1911, and to Mr. John 
 Mansfield’s personal account of “John M. Synge” in the 
 Contemporary Review, April, 1911. Synge’s volume, “The 
 Aran Islands,” a diary of his sojourn among the Irish peasants 
 of the western isles, is indispensable to a full understanding of 
 his plays. 
 
 ISABELLA AUGUSTA (PERSSE), LADY GREGORY. 
 
 1859— 
 
 “There is no bitterness in her laughter. . . . Some of her 
 plays, those that touch upon some patriotic emotion, are so well 
 loved that men passing the Abbey Theatre door and seeing 
 some favorite name upon the bill, will pay their sixpence, and 
 
8 
 
 having seen, say. The Rising of the Moon, for perhaps the 
 fortieth time, will come out after twenty minutes of emotion 
 and go upon their way.” — W. B. Yeats, in his address before

 in the Boston Transcript of September 29.

 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE 
 
 Not all the plays of Lady Gregory have as yet found their 
 way into print. “ Seven Short Plays ” (Maunsel & Co., 19 1 1) 
 includes Spreading the News, Hyacinth Halvey, The Ris- 
 ing of the Moon, The Jackdaw, The Workhouse Ward, 
 The Travelling Man and The Gaol Gate. These plays 
 are issued in Boston by Luce. Maunsel & Co. also include in 
 their Abbey Theatre Series Kincora (out of print), The White 
 Cockade, The Poor House and The Image. The Full 
 Moon was published by the author. A volume of her “Folk 
 History Plays,” containing Grania, Kincora, Dervorgilla, 
 The Canavans, The White Cockade, and The Deliverer 
 will be published by Putnam in February, 1912. In addition 
 to her own comedies. Lady Gregory has translated into the 
 familiar speech of Ireland a few plays from foreign literatures. 
 Moliere is represented on the Abbey Theatre stage by The 
 Doctor in Spite of Himself (first played April 16, 1906), 
 The Rogueries of Scapin (April 4, 1908), and The Miser 
 
9 
 
 (January 21, 1909); Sudermann by Teja (March 19, 1908); 
 and Goldoni by Mirandolina (February 24, 1910). On 
 January 5, 19 11, the players gave her translation from the 
 
 Gaelic of Dr. Douglas Hyde’s Nativity Play. Her French 
 translations are now published as “The Kiltartan Moliere.” 
 (Luce.) Her half dozen non-dramatic works, “Cuchulain of 
 Muirthemne,” “Gods and Fighting Men,” “Poets and 
 Dreamers,” “A Book of Saints and Wonders,” “The Kil- 
 tartan History Book,” (Luce) “The Kiltartan Wonder Book,” 
 rendering as they do the Irish hero-lore, saint-lore and fairy-lore 
 into the vivid, subtly-cadenced speech of the Irish peasantry, 
 invite study, if only for the light they shed on the sources, 
 inspiration and linguistic method of this new drama. 
 
 OTHER IRISH DRAMATISTS 
 All the plays mentioned below have been given in Dublin and, 
 if no other place of representation is named, in the Abbey The- 
 atre. Of these plays, together with those of Mr. Yeats, Synge, 
 and Lady Gregory, the Company states that “ fifty are in active 
 repertory, while others are revived from time to time.” In the 
 following list plays published by Maunsel are indicated by f ; 
 Gill, Dublin, by ; Brentano by || ; in the Green Tree 
 Library (Stone, Chicago), by * . The grouping attempts to 
 separate the men (I) otherwise distinguished as leaders in the 
 revival of Irish letters from those authors (II) not so directly 
 identified with this literary movement and, in some cases, of 
 younger fame, and from the playwrights (III) as yet known to 
 the outside world mainly for their share in the achievements of 
 the Abbey Theatre.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE 
 
 For the text of such of these plays as are yet printed we are 
 mainly dependent upon Messrs. Maunsel & Co., 96 Middle 
 Abbey Street, Dublin. These publishers, on receipt of name 
 and address, offer to send post free to any one interested 
 in the movement their “ complete catalogue and special 
 list of Irish plays, giving plots. ” From these publishers may 
 still be had copies of Mr. Yeats’ “Occasional Review,” 
 Sambain, and of that later Irish periodical. The Shanachie , to 
 which the Irish playwrights have largely contributed. A few of 
 the younger men are briefly discussed in “Ireland’s National 
 Drama” (North American Review, October, 1 9 1 1 ) by John 
 E. Hoare, an Oxonian now in Montreal working with Dr. 
 MacPhail for a Canadian Repertory Theatre. Further infor- 
 mation may be gleaned from books, articles and stage criticism 
 dealing with the new Irish drama. “ Literary Ideals in Ire- 
 land” (Fisher Unwin, London, 1901) embodies a controversy 
 in which Mr. Yeats, “A. E.,” and others took part. Of in- 
 terest in this connection, too, are Walkley’s “ Drama and 
 Life,” Borsa’s “The English Stage of To-day,” and Justin 
 McCarthy’s edition of “ Irish Literature,” Vol. 10. Under the 
 title “ A School of Irish Poetry,” the Edinburgh Review of Janu- 
 ary, 1909, discusses recent volumes by Mr. Yeats, “A. E.,” 
 and Mr. Colum. Before and during the visit of the Irish Players 
 to Boston, September- October, 1911, The Boston Evening 
 Transcript gave much space to accounts of the Irish National 
 Theatre Society and to examination of the score or more of 
 their plays presented at the Plymouth Theatre.

The Drama 
 
 A QUARTERLY* REVIEW OF 
 DRAMATIC LITERATURE 
 
 Edited by CHARLES HUBBARD SERGEL 
 and WILLIAM NORMAN GUTHRIE 
 
 is alone in its field. 
 It presents a plea for the drama as literature 
 and voices a demand for broader ideals 
 in what is now recognized as one of the 
 most powerful institutions of our common life. 
 Each number of the quarterly contains a 
 complete play, carefully chosen from ancient 
 and modern classics, and a number of arti- 
 cles upon the significant features of current 
 drama, contributed by prominent scholars 
 and critics at home and abroad. To the 
 lover and student of dramatic literature 
 THE DRAMA renders a unique and indis- 
 pensable service. 
 
 Two of America’s foremost playwrights write to 
 the editor, as follows : 
 
 “ I am astonished at the dignity, the excellence 
 and the thoroughness. . . I wish you every success 
 in the venture, and I am sure that such success will 
 come to you if the high standard of the publication is 
 maintained.” Augustus Thomas 
 
 “You are doing a very vital, commendable and 
 important thing in publishing The Drama.”
