Charlottetown. Edllflatilln You CANT “mix ISLANDER

E Bigelow Thompson says in The Boston ‘Transcript: _ '

"When Robert Haherty was mak- ing his cinema on the Island oi Aran, Patch Ruadh, ‘Red Pat,’ was missing. Search revealed him preening his wishers behind a hugil rock so he would ‘look rlgh " on the screen. Red Pat. is in Boston with others of his ilk, on canvasses oi‘ Louise Misheli, one of the most un- usual personalities among the I younger American artiste, who is

having her first Boston exhibition.

"They are all there: simple. straight-forward folk in homespun; shawls and tam-o-shanters ,and ‘tls n0 blarhuy that Miss Mishell rates them the race of races.

"Of her observations in Aran she said to the interviewer: “They dance their old square dancs to a melodeon, or violin, and they dance with astounding grace. The older generation speak a. little English but the youngsters have only Irish. They taught English in the schoob before the revolution.

" ‘ ‘Inishmaan little boys still wear their red petticoats so that the fairies will think they are lit- tle girls and not take them away. The women on the island are ex- ceedingly handsome and big-boned and red-haired . . .They wear no underwear at all. The skirts are so weighted that they never seem to fly up.

"' When one comes into Aran it's "Cead mile Faielte," a hundred thousand welcomes. They wouldn't pose for anybody unless they liked them. It certainly isn't a “ of money. They are happy to do you a favor to sit, but one daren't mention money. It Just isn't nice. Of course, you can give them some- thing, a. drink of- porter or some cigarettes, but one just can't hire an Aran Islander. They are not to be bought at any price.
