FIRST N|GHTERSOF ]. LONDON ARE: AGAIN ATTACKED BY SHAW Irishman Says Loud Laugh ter and Applause Spoil
 Play
DULL WEEK IN THE
 ENGLISH CAPITAL
George Edwardes Declares He Will Permit Smoking at the Gaiety Theatre Despite the Ban of
 Chamberlain
Ny JOHN AVA CARPENTER

London, April 25.-(Special} }--Apro- pos of the first London production of his romance, "Pygmalfon," at His Mai esty's theatre this evening George Bernard Shaw. who apepars to be in particularly good skin at the present time, returns to his old attack upon the people who dare to laugh in a theatre. And included in his indict- ment are several more generally ad- mitted pests who make first nights a horror for sensitive playrights. After expressing his confidence in his play, in the company which has been brought together by Sir Herbert Tree and in it's careful preparation, the Irish playwright says to an inter- viewer:
 "The question is will the first night audience give the play a chance? Will the hygienic gentlemen. who have been told by their doctors that there is nothing so good for the lungs as a hearty five minutes guffaw be there? Will the kindly people who think it encourages the poor, dear actors to be fntererupted at every tenth word by shouts of appreciation all be laid up

Edwardes Has a Problem

George Edwardes evidently has a prob lem that gives him much cause for thought at the Gaiety. Once one of the most popular of London's theatres. 1t has along with many other houses, been left high and dry at the end of the Strand While the stream of theatrical patronage has turned towards Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus. Even the prestige of the Gaiety and the popularity of it's man. asement has not saved it from a severe struggle against these circumstances Various shifts and maneuvers have been reported to in the past three years in an effort to maintain the prosperity of the house but without entire success. Now the resourceful George Ndwardes has hit upon new idea that brings him up against the Lord Chamberlain. That of ficial, under whose license the theatres arc run. refuses to permit smoking. but Edwardes declares that ne will have smoking at the Gaiety, the Lord Cham bcrlain notwithstanding. Undoubtedly he has the support of practically the whole of the theatrical profession Of course many of the managers would not use the privilege if it were granted. but they can see no reason why any manager should be told that he cannot bid his patrons smoke if he so wishes

GHOSTS COME OUT OF OUR
 MOUTHS. SAYS PSYCHOJ. .OCIST

| It is bad news for New York, but it is quite true that Baron von Schrenck- Not | zing, the well-known Munich professor, who has gained an international repu- ! tation in morbid psychology says ghosts come out or their mouth says a Berlin special to the Philadelphia Record l He has just published a book which will excite a good deal of controversy. i It contains record of four years ex- | periments with the French medium Eva and in it he claims to have es- i tablished the fact that the so-called moist | cloud-ike emanation from the mouth and other parts of the body of the person producing them
 To this emanation, which he and others repeatedly saw issuing from Eva s
 mouth he has given the name 'telepas- | ma The experiments were conducted With every precaution to eliminate the l possibility of fraud, the medium being l stripped medically examined and clothed | in special attire before each test. In some cases she exhibited powefs in a state of absolute nudity before persons of her own sex only
 !, The Baron testified to having watched the ''teleplasma" rise like smoke from Eva's mouth and take the shape of | hands, faces and other, objects. On one occasion it steamed down her body, de-
 tached itself and moved about independ- cHtly ofl iuc llOOf. AL lIlS point, now ever, Eva rose suddenly, flung herself at full length upon it and lay unconscious When lifted to her feet the emanation
 had vanished, having apparently been ab- sorbed in her body. Nine photogra phic apparatus at one time, set at various | angles, and simultaneously exposed by flashlights, were placed in the cabinet 1 to photograph the medium and the | ghosts By means ot a cinematograph

Dull Week in London

The dullest week in the whole theatrical year of London was Just before Easter The Easter holidays brought the first mild sunshine of the English spring. robbed London of the large mass of it's theatregoers and even those who de- layed their departure until the end of the week were saving their pocket money to- wards the heavy expense of holidaying Several of the theatrical managers make it their practice to close their houses for the week, especially as Good Friday is a compulsory holiday and the performers collect nothing during the period of their enforced rest. Just after Easter there has been boom and a rush leading up to the most prosperous period of the yeai for the theatres, corresponding with the London season, which runs almost through August, ending with the Good. wood races.

 Artistic Programme Impossible
 If so. you may put the idea of an artistic performance out of your head: i: the thing Is impossible. The continu- ality of the play will be lost; all the transitions from one mood to another
 which cost so much artistic study and
 work to perfect, will be obliterated: the performers. trying to concentrate them selves on a long and difficult task, will
 be distracted and forced to give up all attempts at fine work in despair: the
 spectators will be worried by their own noisy enjoyment, and, finally, they will lose their trains and go home half an hour late, cross and tired, and have words with one another. ending with,
 I will never go to the theatre with you again while I live
 That is the sort of thing that hap pened at the first night of 'Androcles
 and the Lion which was such hor- rible experience that the next first night-that of the revival of The Doc tors Dilemma'-was deliberately fixed so as to clash with that of The Night Hawk, which took all the regular first nighters away. The result was most successful. But there is nothing to clash with Pygmalion, and l suppose we shall have the usual we'll intended. good natured riot that Is the disgrace of the English theatre. Why on earth don't people laugh internally, like old Weller in 'Pickwick?' I cant under
 stand why the Playgoers club or the Club of F'irst-Nighters do not take up Ion nd
 of play to be heard as attentively as
 music drama by Wagner or Strauss. But do you seriously expect an au- dience to listen in dead silence, no mat ter how funny the lines are?"
 Should Listen in Silence
 '1 do not see why they should not loud laughter is merely a bad habit But am not myself dead silent play goer. At the first night of Sir James
 Barrie's 'Adored One a gentleman said to me, as I left the stalls, You ob- 1ect to anyone else laughing in the theatre, but you have been laughing yourself all through the play So had been; but my laughter did not inter
 rupt the performance, nor prevent my neighbors catching the next words of the play, nor interfere with the con- centration of the actors their parts '" 'Pygmalion, which is in five acts, lasted until church time on Easter Sunday
 morning and the first-n;gnters refused to contain their tears, cheers and laughter
 until the end of the acts l will in the future count out all the good things in
 my plays on the first night and thus get the whole business finished in five
 minutes, of course, giving con-
 plete printed copies to the critics. The
 whole question Is one of good sense
 and good manners. It is only on first nights that people are obstroperous They
 mean well. They think they are grati-
 flying the performers and helping to make
 the evening success. When they un- derstand that they are really doing their utmost to ruin it they will, I hope, oblige me by behaving in reasonably continent way"

from recent occurrences that Governor

Peabody. The laborcrnshing process ap-
par-ntly has taken full control Of the
