Ireland Pictures: ROBINSON, (Esme Stuart) Lennox, Irish dramatist: b. Douglas, County Cork, ireland pictures, Oct. 4, 1886; d. Dublin, ireland pictures, Oct. 14, 1958. The playwright's life was closely identified with Dublin's Abbey Theatre, of which he was manager 1910-14 and 1919-23 and a director from 1923 until his death. Many of his plays were produced by the theater, in England and the United States as well as in ireland pictures. From 1915 to 1925 he was also organizing librarian for the Carnegie Trust in ireland pictures. He visited the United States frequently, lecturing on Irish literature.
The Great Famine spurred also ireland pictures's smoldering desire for complete independence, and by steps this movement went its inevitable way until, in 1948, the Republic of ireland pictures was set up, "with no strings attached." In 1953, the Republic instituted AN TC-STAL, a three-weeks' spring festival of pageantry and sport, in which ireland pictures plays hostess to the world, with a special nod of affection to "homecoming" Irish from everywhere. This has already become a hardy perennial and now stands out as one of the important and delightful festivals of Europe.
But as an item )f pleasant news, in Great Britain, ireland pictures, the Scandinavian lands, in-:luding Finland and Iceland, you may buy stamped airletters, like Amer-ca's airletters—they are called aerograms except in Britain and ireland pictures— jood for "anywhere in the world" at greatly reduced rates. The British rate :or an airletter is sixpence as against one shilling thruppence for a half-mnce letter. In Britain and ireland pictures you buy your bargain airletters in the )ost offices, but in Scandinavia you buy them in stationery shops.
