Chief Justice on Lampoon

Chief Justice on Lampoon

In squirming awe the Solicitors Apprentices of Dublin sat on hard benches for 75 minutes last week, heard all about "Americans" from Honorable Hugh Kennedy, First Chief Justice of the Irish Free State. Mr. Kennedy lately toured the U. S. as the guest of the American Bar Association, indulging simultaneously his passion for antiques.

"I warn you all not to believe sensational books or biased newspaper articles,'' said the Chief Justice severely. "A great many of the people I met, both in public and in private, possessed rare culture and charm. I was impressed by the refinement of American home life. I was particularly impressed by the respect which the men show their womenfolk. The Americans are a fine people. Let no one tell you differently." Since September, Dublin playgoers have been learning from Ever the Twain, a play by Irish Dramatist Lennox Robinson, that the U. S. is a land of gumchewers, gunmen, gigolos, gin mills. "Remembering what I saw with my own eyes," boomed Chief Justice Kennedy, "I can only describe Robinson's play as a lampoon."
