    'Nah-pooh' is in the lyrics to that song 'Good-byee', isn't it? "Bonsoir old thing, cheerio, chin-chin; nah-poo, toodle-oo, good-byee..."

    Dru You are dead right, thank you! I couldn't understand what Nah-Pooh was about at all - so pleased...

    According to this website, "No.11 General Hospital" was at Genoa in Italy - www.anzacday.org.au/digging/hospitals.html

    From a nurse's account of life there - www.scarletfinders.co.uk/153.html
    There was one General and two Stationary Hospitals at Genoa. The first in a large hotel, the others in schools. Two of them already had patients and the other was being put in order. As there was no heating in the hotel, the building was intensely cold; it was, however, a very fine hotel with a marble staircase and beautiful baths, though at the time the baths were of little use, as there was no hot water. In the schools were some stoves which the patients thoroughly enjoyed. Later on we had an Infectious Hospital at Genoa, also a very nice hostel for sisters coming from the United Kingdom or moving about the country.

    Anyone (from Rathmines direction) know where Bernadette Hall is/was? Sounds like it was on Richmond Hill. And may have been used by the Deaf Society for a while. Perhaps theatre-types will be more familiar with the Bernadette Players, but I can't find any reviews/write-ups on this bizarrely named production. (Save for this mention a year later in Seán O'Faoláin's lit-journal "The Bell")

    guliolopez Having a bit of a rummage now! P.S. Keep an eye out next week for a beautiful Holly Bough cover from 1940... :)

    guliolopez Feiseanna were held here, according to various newspapers, and plays, pantomimes (like the above), etc. If it's any help re the location, it seems that quite often bookings were taken from 43 Rugby Road or the Presbytery, Rathmines.

    beachcomber australia An early one! Are there a load of Ardees in the country? Why am I asking an Australian? :) The only one I know is Ardee in Co. Louth, and there's no way this young woman came all the way from there. Evidence that carts changed hands just like cars and motor bikes?
  • beachcomber australia said:
