Murray's splendid drama of Irish peasant life : , " Autumn lire, which has been pllliyed at frequent intervals by the Abbey Theatre in Dublin since it was first produced in 1928. " Autumn Fire," following " Birthright," his earlier success, places Mr. Murray in the forefront of contemporary Irish dramatists, and is considered the finest achievement in tha way of folk drama since the plays of Synge. The story itself is quite simple, but it is treatod with a strength and mastery that reveal the bora dramatist. In its rhythm and poetic beauty the dialogue is reminiscent of Synge at his best. The society's honorary producer, Miss McVeagh, who had the cast already in rehearsal, anticipates that thiii play will fully maintain the high standard ot earlier productions of the society. The Slay will be presented in tha Concert liamlber about the middle of November.
