In "Pygmalion" Mr.. Shaw again es-
tablishes his contempt for the British
subject. of which he is a distinguished
example. The story OF "Pygmalion" is
practically Ave acts of what Mr. Shaw
calls "a romance" 1t IL written to
prove that the English language as
spoken in the cutters OF London and in
the drawing rooms is grave subject
of importance. The author proves that
cockney girl with all her terrible
"yowling" OF accents can, after being
properly trained in the phonetic form of
English words, pass for duchess in a
fashionable drawing room. This phase
of "PyGmalion" is strictly Shavian.
The romance" of the play which Is its
strongest public appeal, is merely sug-
gested. touched upon lightly, and left
to the dramatic imagination of the au-
dlences The romance consists of the
fact that Eliza DoOlittlc, having been
used as an experiment to prove that an
English duchess may have been a
cockney flower girl Ga situation which
might have been taken from life).
nevertheless has the soul of a woman.
The success OF "PyGmalion" in Lon
don was due to the comedy rather than
the satire of the new play. But Mr.,
Shaw's real purpose of amusement in
playwriting has been to exhibit the
brutality Of the British subject and
"Pygmalion" has again accomplished
this, but with a brilliancy Of comic con-
ception that surpasses anything he has
contributed in previous plays with the
exception, perhaps. Of you Never Can
Tell" which was first produced by the
Lieber Company.
Mr. Shaw's career in America began
with the production OF Candida" and
other plays Of his. which Arnold DAILY
manfully struggled with for years.
At the beginning of this campaign he
went TO George c. Tyler with one OF
Shaw's plays. Mr. Tyler at that time
declined the opportunity Of producing
any Of Shsws plays on the ground that
they were as-yet incomprehsnsibls 10
