"Sir Anton Dolin (27 July 1904 – 25 November 1983) ... was born in Slinfold in Sussex as Sydney Francis Patrick Chippendall Healey-Kay (generally known as Patrick or Pat Kay to his friends). He was the second of three sons of Henry George Kay (1852-1922) and his wife, Helen Maude Chippendall Healey (1869-1960), from Dublin."

I wonder if his maternal Irish connection explains the inscription "God save Ireland".

beachcomber australia No, I think he had a stack of these photos, and signed them to suit the recipient.
Sort of like some Hollywood fan club

In 1926 he suffered temporary blindness. Newcastle Evening Chronicle - Monday 20 December 1926:

On Friday night, said the dancer's secretary, Mr. Dolin was dancing in a cabaret while the show was being filmed for a news picture. The glare of the lights so affected his eyes that early the following morning he woke up in agony and discovered that be was blind. He was taken to a specialist in Wimpole Street, who stated that the optic nerves were terribly bruised and burned.

I understand that in the early days of cinema, the film available was in today's terms very slow, necessitating very bright artificial lights. As a consequence, actors being filmed got into the habit of wearing dark glasses. So if you wanted to look like a film star, you'd wear dark glasses and they thus became a fashion accessory.

The catalogue says rural village but the buildings say Town to me.

Niall McAuley Agreed!

Niall McAuley It's the Krazy Kataloguers in Library Towers once again!

Any clues from the shop names? Looks like "Household ......." on the shop name at the street corner. Cannot quite read the name on the shop front behind the cart.

Hassett at #9, I think, and Household Bazaar, maybe

Top left says Old Mill on Poddle River, Dolphin's Barn, 1893.

Which confused me, as I didn't think the Poddle flowed through Dolphin's Barn.

But looking at the 6" and 25", I see Rutland Mills, with a mill race coming from the Poddle.

The mill would have been at the junction of Rutland Avenue and Clogher Road.

In Google's aerial view linked below, you can still see where the mill race left the Poddle beside (now) Mount Argos Square

Bottom right

Perhaps top right refers to Emmet’s hideaway, not Lord Edward?
If so, that house is long gone

On the 6", the stone which splits the Poddle is marked as Tongue and the small townland Tonguefield.

But in Google maps, it is marked as Stone Boat, which is where the Kimmage pub gets its name.

" ... Arrest and death
Lord Edward's hiding place with the feather merchant Nicholas Murphy was betrayed to the spymaster Francis Higgins (qv) by the secretive catholic barrister Francis Magan (qv), who received the £1,000 reward. At seven in the evening on 19 May, an arrest party led by Major Sirr (qv) burst into his upstairs room at 151 Thomas Street in the heart of the Liberties. FitzGerald fiercely resisted arrest, killed one man with his dagger, but sustained serious injuries himself when Sirr shot him in the shoulder at point-blank range. He was taken to Dublin Castle and then jailed in Newgate. ..."

Hmmm ...

"House at Harold's Cross Bridge, Dublin where it ____ Lord Ed Fitzgerald was concealed"

A pair of twin Dutch Billy's near Harold's Cross bridge with a cruciform roof plan, long since demolished, I wonder how long they lasted. I don't recall ever seeing them or that particular photo before. Likely on the Northern side of the bridge anyway.
