Many years later Irene and her sister Shirley would relive that experience when they opened Carr's II on Dorchester Ave. As a teenager Irene worked as an usher at the Shubert Theater, which began a lifelong interest in the theater. Irene was a proud American who loved her country and politics; she was a great admirer of FDR and the new deal. A lifelong Democrat, Irene was keenly interested in world affairs and always believed that government should use its power to be a force for good in the world.
