LONDON. February 2O.-Perhaps there
really may be play about George wash
ington by Bernard Shaw. Now that the Idea
has been suggested to him, 1t would not be
a bit surprising If the Irishman adopted IL
and proceeded to take liberties with the
father of his country, just as he already
has done with Caesar and Napoleon the
Great. Up to the present, however, no play
about Gen. Washington is now engaging
Shaw in spite of the very definite announce
ment from New York that he was writing
such a piece for Arnold Daily. This piquant
report aroused no end of interest here, but
it has proved to be entirely groundless that
is, unless Shaw's fat-footed denial proves
to be of the official brand. He is in the
country at present and out of the reach OF
the interviewer, but a telegram to him
anent the rumored Washington play drew
forth this characteristic reply:
Il have heard nothing of it. George Wash
ington's qualities appear to be extinct in
New York nowadays"
So presumably there's an end ont unless,
as already suggested, Shaw should decide
that the American paragraphist's idea is "A
good one, and start on play-either pleas
ant" or ''unpleasant-about the great
truth-teller. Certainly the subject should in
the result should be success, which, by
the way, the dramatist's last two efforts
have not been. Over each of them, too.
