In collection of Joseph J. MacInnis.

Scope and content

Item is a publication which contains two plays. The first is about a man that pretends to have forgotten his Gaelic. The man acquires Glasgow colloquial speech. The second story is a conversation between Norman's widow and Calum, who has just returned from serving with the British Army in Ireland.
There are also two typed plays by Joseph J. MacInnis which are somewhat based on and seem to consolidate MacNab's plays. MacInnis includes a booklet from the performance of the play at the Lyceum.

    General note

    One of MacInnis' typed versions of his play is titled "A Gaelic Play" Am Fear a Chaill a Ghaidhlig". A note on the inside cover reads Mr. MacInnis', which may mean this copy was meant for her.
