Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dublin, in itself, has characteristics that are extremely odd, but when we take the tram-car which is one of the institutions of that city, being built on entirely different lines from most railway conveyances, a two-story affair, and ride to the outskirts, we get an idea of life among the poorer tenants of the metropolis. We see the people as they live on their small estates, and the recently-built tenements, with many of the modern improvements and advantages. An occasional interview with some of the older inhabitants are very interesting studies. On our way, we stop at the Glondalkin Inn, the oldest in Ireland, and meet the prettiest barmaid in all Ireland, who entertains us with her winning smile and her Irish wit. All the inhabitants seem to be blessed with good health and happy hearts, and while their manners and customs are a little different from our own, they are certainly a treat to behold and a pleasure to meet.
