Politician and Superman."
One OF the most important plays to be
produced by the popular Poll Players this
season is George Bernard Shaw's Man
and Superman," played throughout the
country by the celebrated English actor,
Mr.. Robert Lorraine. In this play Mr..
George Bernard Shaw has realized the
humorous side of seeing himself a. q
successful acted dramatist
We may rail at Mr.. Shaw II We like.
We may denounce him as the most in
consistent of men, but we must admit
that there is a kind of Joy In his fncon-
sistency. He may build only to cast
down. but we stand back amazed at the
process of his building and we share
with child-like sort of pleasure the
overturning of the edifce. A certain
New York critic calls Shaw's Man and
Superman'' a characteristic presentation
of the other half OF truth and the for
mula prescribed for the audience being
TO add the conventional truth and MI.
Shaw's truth. and then divide by two.
All Of which indicates a marvellous blend
of satire and philosophy set forth in a
farcicaI situation called a play and
laughed at on both sides Of the Atlantic
as one of the most brilliant comedies of
all time.
For rapid-fire wit ludici Gus situations
and high comedy acting the production OF
Man and Superman" is without parallel
on the stage today. Not only Is It revo-
lutionary in its ideas, but its popularity
has proved that the average theater-
goer can understand and enjoy play OF
pure wit On the whole Man and Super
man" has been the biggest money-mak-
ing comedy that has been produced in
years. The novelty of the plot is largely
responsible for the plays strong appeal.
Here is a hero who is not incoming over
some peaches and cream heroine. Indeed,
his first rule in life is not to get mar
ried. When in the first act he instinct
lively senses the black shadow OF matri-
mony falling across his path, he i'm
rnediately takes flight from London to
Surrey and then 10 Spain. and instead OF
the william il is the heroine who still
pursues him.
Even in the last act. when he is dis
covered with the heroine in his arms, he
still protests that he is an unhappy man.
Love, the life force" as he styles it. is
stronger than he. 1t has conquered him.
But he wants his friends to understand
that he has no decisions about being the
happiest man in the world" He asserts
that he and his sweetheart have Just
foresworn happiness: that they have
pledged themselves to a lifetime Of re-
sponsibilities.
The interesting character of John Tan
ner will be played by Mr.. Edward
Mackay, while Izetta Jewel will enact
the difficult role of Ann Whitefeld.

The most vivid war drama of recent
years will be the offering at the CO.

beginning July II, when an elaborate
scenic production will be made of Will
lam Gillette's pre-eminently successful
Secret Service" The play attained
extended runs at both the Garrick and
Empire Theaters in New York and
London, where the original company

the greatest of American plays. The
love story running through the more
exciting scenes of the play deals with
the infatuation of Lewis Dumont for
the daughter of the commanding gem
eral of the Confederacy. Dumont was
Federal agent, and was sent into
Richmond on a dangerous mission.

Why Nots
the Editor Of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
In Saturdays issue of The Times,
appeared an article by c. w. Stephen
son. which amused me- very much.
II suggested that the number OF
saloons In Detroit be doubled. Well
why not? This Is the logical result
OF the theory Of the liquor business
and OF all those that defend 1t. IL it
Is good for US as people to have
one saloon, why not have all we can
possibly get. And IL 1t Is the dollars
that the city council considers the
most important thing TO have, for the
peoples good. then this Is q sure way
to get them. And right In this con-
nection. l wish to suggest one more
item TO the list that our correspon-
dent gave US. Perhaps 1t slipped his
mind. 1t Is this: That we request our
government to issue O license TO
every man, woman and child, to
drink whatsoever they wish, and Just
as much as they wish. and where they
wish, and, nobody's business. for, you
see, this is personal liberty, and we
ought to be able to do just as we
want to In free America. Well. let
us look at the other side Of this Ques-
ton just little. This system Of
license Is fundamentally wrong. For
We. as a people, have no right to
grant q license to any man. or men,
or woman. to engage In that which IL
morally wrong, and the sooner the
people Of this fair land learn this
great truth, the better for us, and the
future generations OF this nation: yea,
and the world also.
