IMAM AND SUPERlN14N' IS SATIRIC|
/ SHAW PLAY At ALCAZAR PLEASES"

1t must have been a sense of salts
faction that Bertram Lyteu expert
enced after the performance of Man
and Superman" which opened a.
weeks run at the Alcazar theater
as fashionable as any that one might
expect at the best of grand opera
seasons.
One is inclined to suspect that I.v-
tell is somewhat of an idealist. at
least so far as the theater is con
cerned, and the hearty reception ac-
corded his efforts in presenting Man
and Superman'' with the aid of the
capable Alcazar stock company must
have been responsible for that feel
Ing of satisfaction.
George Bernard Shaw is a drama
tfst whose works are rather hard IN
present upon the stage Most of his
plays are better suited to the seclu
sion of the library, but the version ~
Man and Superman," presented at
the Alcazar last night, proved dis
ttnctly enjoyable aside from the BIT
ing brilliance of the lines. 1t Is a
comedy in every sense of the word
sc1ntfllating, iconoclastic comedy
that compels laughter from an audi
ence, despite the fact that mary or
Shaw's piercing shafts of wit are di
rected at his auditors most of the
time. 1t is the sheer true-to-life-
ness of his characters that make the
play all the more enjoyable
Lytell plays Tanner, the cynic, the
young man of advanced ideas who
SCOTS at the conventions of society,
but who finally falls a victim to Ann
Whitefield, an ingenious young female.
whose heart is set upon having Tan
ner for her own. Evelyn Vaughan
portrayed Ann with a naiveness and
understanding of the requirements Of
the part that added much to the en-
Joyment of this typical Shaw satire
As Tanner" Lytell was distinctly
at his best. The size of the part
| would have discouraged the average
stock actor from anything like a
proper rendition of this difficult role,
but Lytell had firm grasp on the
authors conception of the character
and never missed the little but essen
| tial qualities of 1t.
As for the other members of the
company, 1t is not too much to say.
that they surpassed themselves, par
ticu1arly Burt WesneF as "Roebuck
Ramsden, a typical example of the
British middle classes; Edmond Lowe
as Octavius Robinson. Miss Frances
Carson as Violet Robinson, and Je-
rome Storm as Henry Straker.
