The National
movement has been commercialized in the last few years. How much real
ideality is but hidden for a time one cannot say.--W.B.Y., _March, 1908_.
[C] An illusion, as he himself explained to me. He had never seen
_Phedre_. The players were quiet and natural, because they did not know
what else to do. They had not learned to go wrong.--W.B.Y., _March,
1908_.
[D] This play was _John Bull's Other Island_.

Mr.
Shaw. We had no 'Broadbent' or money to get one.--W.B.Y., _March, 1908_.
[E] _The Poor House_, written in Irish by Dr. Hyde on a scenario by
Lady Gregory.
[F] _Riders to the Sea._ This play made its way very slowly with our
audiences, but is now very popular.--W.B.Y., _March, 1908_.
[G] The players, though not the playwrights, are now all paid.
