Abstract
To-day’s proceedings against the members of the Abbey Theatre Co., charged, on the complaint of a wine and spirit merchant’ named Garrity, with producing an ‘immoral play’—‘The Playboy of the Western World’—were awaited with considerable interest in Philadelphia, but it was early announced that the action could not be proceeded with on its merits until a decision had been given by another Court.
