Opening with Katie Roche by Teresa Deevy, a U. S. premiere, the Manhattan repertory includes standbys like O'Casey's Plough and the Stars, Juno and the Paycock, Synge's Playboy of the Western World, new items like Cormac O'Daly's The Silver Jubilee, George Shiels's The Passing...
Ourselves Alone (Gaumont-British), whose title is a free translation of the Gaelic Sinn Fein, differs from Hollywood investigations of that Irish revolutionary group by approaching it from a temperate and somewhat more realistic British viewpoint. Not entirely neglecting the poetry of The Informer and The Plough And The Stars or the star-crossed romance of Beloved Enemy, Ourselves Alone is concerned chiefly with the hard...
...comedy comes from the German of Bruno Frank by way of the Scotch of Playwright Bridie (A Sleeping Clergyman). Patsy, over whom the storm rages, is a charming mongrel called Colonel in real life. He is about to be executed because his very Irish owner (Sara Allgood of The Plough and the Stars) is unable to pay his long-overdue license fee.

Its grimy and discursive picture of Dublin life, as background for the grim story of its principals, made it a contemptuous portrait, almost a definition of Ireland before the Free State. The current version of The Plough and the Stars-in which Director John Ford was assisted...
Less incendiary than its original, which caused a riot when first presented in Dublin, this version of The Plough and the Stars, spoken in brogue that is not too thick for intelligibility, offers the most illuminating glimpse of Ireland's fight for home rule thus far included in Hollywood's dossier on the subject. Good shot: Fluther's technique in a barroom fight- fantastically complicated footwork, accompanied by no blows. A Doctor's Diary (Paramount) is a savagely derisive expose of conventional medical ethics, fairly screaming the sort of hospital anecdotes which upright members...
