  • Those Who Set the Stage to Understand the 1916 Rising and The
    3.0 Those who Set the Stage To understand the 1916 Rising and the motivation and points of view of the participants it is necessary to study the political, social, cultural and intellectual background. Most of the personalities reviewed in this section did not take part in the Rising - many of them were absolutely opposed - but all contributed directly or indirectly. Since the time of Parnell constitutional nationalists aimed at securing Home Rule, that is, a limited measure of self-government to be exercised through a parliament in Dublin. Following the general elections of 1910, the nationalist Irish Parliamentary Party led by John Redmond held the balance of power in the House of Commons, a position which enabled them to force Asquith’s Liberal government to address the issue of Home Rule for Ireland. The House of Lords was implacably opposed, but their power of veto over legislation was drastically curbed by the Parliament Act (1911). Faced with the prospect of Home Rule and an Irish parliament in which they would be outnumbered by Catholic nationalists, the Protestant Ulster unionists, led by Sir Edward Carson and James Craig, reacted strongly. In September 1912, over 200,000 men signed the Solemn League and Covenant pledging resistance to Home Rule. The following January, the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) was established, a quota of 100,000 signatories of the Covenant soon being enrolled. In effect, the unionists established a private army to oppose the enactment or implementation of Home Rule - drilling was allowed provided it was authorised by two magistrates. 1 3.0 Those who set the stage When the government attempted to take action, fifty-eight senior army officers at army headquarters at the Curragh, Co.

    29004_U01.qxd 2/6/06 3:54 PM Page 13 Chapter 1 American Variety and/or Foreign Features The Throes of Film Distribution Imagine that you are a young woman who has decided to join one of your store clerk or stenographer friends going to the movies after work in down- town Des Moines, Iowa, in the spring of 1913. On Sunday, May 4, you read the Des Moines News and know what programs will be playing in at least four moving picture theaters that next week.1 On Tuesday, for instance, what are your choices? At the Casino (just opened in December) is Pathé’s Weekly (a newsreel), Essanay’s The Crazy Prospector, and Vitagraph’s Cinders. At the Fam- ily, Bison-101’s two-reel The Indian’s Secret and Billy’s First Quarrel. At the Unique, Majestic’s two-reel Children of St. Anne and Her Sister’s Secret. The Colonial has a special feature (running all week), the five-reel Satan or “The Drama of Humanity . from Creation to the present time.”2 Which theater you and your friend choose could depend on several factors, but, as a fre- quent moviegoer, you could count on familiarity and the relative quality of the variety programs at three of these theaters, each changed daily and sup- plied by a different film service or distributor: the Casino (General Film), the Family (Universal), and the Unique (Mutual). You also could be attracted, however, by Satan’s promotion as a sensational historical epic or by its nov- elty as a special feature (from Europe, no less), since the only previous film of four reels or more to play in the city was Queen Elizabeth, with Sarah
