...Silver Tassie. The Irish Theatre, [nc., whose roster includes Scans, Culinans, MacGuffins, Ennises, Miceals, Patricks, Liams and Unas, whose sponsors include Llewellyn Powys, Donn Byrne's widow and Otto Hermann Kahn, have taken over the tiny but gallant Greenwich Village Theatre where for their first production of the season they present a haunting, chaotic play by famed Sean 0'Casey of Dublin, author of Juno and the Paycock (TIME, March 29, 1926).

The boy felt he would like a country of real dangers, of snakes and apes and Indians-somewhere he could play gallant to slim, brown Suzanne. Of course he "hadn't much use for females," but here was one with whom he could laugh, play, tumble, tease, poetize, and only once was there anything between Suzanne and him like what Ewald, jealous, was bold enough to insinuate.
