BY Telegraph 10 The tribune
Boston. oct. 5.-"The Showing Up OF
Blanco Posnet' play in one act by
George Bernard Shaw, was given by the
Irish Players from the Abbey Theatre. Dub
lin. at the Plymouth Theatre tonight.
Many have read Mr. Shaw preface 10
"Blanco Posnet' i'm which he discusses the
censorship with especial reference to the
censors' objections to his play. The reader
OF this remarkable drama might well have
wondered before ne saw il on the stage why
license for performance was refused. IL
Is true that a woman o. shamelessly vicious
life IL introduced and her profession and
her characteristics are alluded TO i'm terms
of more than Biblical frankness, but when
the play is seen she is at once accepted by
the audience as an indispensable and well
come factor in this strange exposure oil
hypocrisy There is not a ludicrous line or
situation in the piece.
IL was undoubtedly the wildness Of the
chief character, mis- conception % the Deity,
who. as he thought was setting traps for
him and took advantage of him. yet played

Mr.. shaw's play. which may be read with
delight and admiration. has something
