WORD HORRIFIED
LONDON AUDIENCE

You begin to realize how much conven.
ton means in England. says John A.
Carpenter. In letter to The New York
Press. upon observing that one word in
Bernard shaw's new farce, '.PyKmaIiou.,
recently produced at HIS Ma3esty's. has
attracted moro attention than all TIE
rest Of the play.
II Ii word that no one in Enri.nA
with any sort Of pretension to ,oc,a,
status may say. It Is an adjective ,has
accompanies nearly every noun. and often
other parts Of speech. on the East Side.
Deprive Z costermoneer of that word
and you might a. well reduce him to the
sign Language. Yet only one London
Newspaper. in focusing attention on that
word to the exclusion of most else in
the Shaw play, dared print II. One or
two daring editors went 30 far a.
"b-y."
What happened In reality was. proh-
ably, that Bernard Shaw Remembered
how successfully Barrie built a vhole
play up to another word that NAV mot
be mentioned in polite English society.
namely the word Stomach" The Rar-
great attention in America because no
American can see any reason why one
should not mention his stomach as freely
n the Englishman mentions that peren-
NAL topic of conversation. his liver
But the writer. who was present al
the first performance on any stage of
Barrie's Little Mary" remembers the
shout OF Mortified amusement that raised
the rafters of the Duke of York's Thea
out as the climax of the play.
Well, 1t was exactly the same shout
that greeted shaw's equally harmless
word. and with exactly the same result:
II set every one to talking about the
play.
Happily. the terrible Shaw word can
be printed In full In any self-respecting
American Newspaper, without fear Of
Anthony Comstock. II was Bloody"
generally believed to be a contraction Of
by Our Lady'-far less wicked than
to raise a laugh on every English and
American stage
1t was gem of humor as il fell from
the lovely lips of Mrs. Patrick Camp
bell, Lady Randolph Churchilrs success
sor as the wife of the fascinating George
CORVALLIS West. She had been taught
by the Prof. Higgins of the play to
drop her form of speech as a Covent
Garden flower girl and to use the Eng
lish language with care
Unhappily the professor exhibited her
before she had acquired much range of
language beyond the weather and other
safe topics. She was tempted beyond
her conversational depth and when asked
II she would walk across the park instead
Of taking an automobile. she replied,
painstakingiy It's not bloody likely"
Shaw was pleased with the idea so
much that he made society girl re-
peat IL a few moments later-vhich was
evidence Of his appalling lack Of humor
in spots. The repetition made the audi
ence shudder. and after the first night
II was omitted.

VETERAN SINGER AND
HIS NOTABLE CAREER

When you first meet William Schuster.
the veteran American opera singer, and
one of the leading bassos Of the Aborn
English Grand Opera Company. you be-
hold a modest. unaffected gentleman in
the prime of life wearing a smile that
never comes or" evidently satisfied with
life. A stranger would not dream that
this stocky gentlemen has been before
the public over a quarter Of q century in
cosmopolitan and English grand opera.
One who enjoys a long-standing friend
ship with him advised the writer that
the things Mr.. Schuster can tell you
about grand opera and about the odd
experiences he has gone through would
fill a good-sized volume.
As a result Of which a visit to Mr..
Schusters dressing-room was made. for
that is the only place where you are
sure to find him without making a FORM

portraying his character on the stage.
