SHAW GIVEN ON
THE EAST SIDE
Gertrude Kingston Gives
captain Brassbound's
Conversion"

Bernard Shaw is by nature ro-
manifest and poet. Despite the
walls of protest that will go up, we
must stand by our guns, and proclaim
that in his cradle Shaw was the very
Pierrot the mature man has spent his
energies in strangling. In his latest
plays he has admirably succeeded, and
the creaking bones Of his sawdust-
filed figures galvanized into Shavian
gyrations by their creators biting wit
gibber soullessly enough to satisfy even
a Fabian. But in Captain BrassboundS
Conversion" the strangling had not yet
been accomplished. We have had, it
is true, Shaw the reformer, but Shaw
the poet, refuses to be downed, and
protest as the reformer does the poet
goes blithely enough ahead.
Morocco, and an impossible story,
very Zenda tale, and bandits, and
, drama these Captain Brassbound"
contains in truly Elizabethan album
dance. How much Miss Ellen Terry had
in the creation of all these it is i'm
possible to tell, for it is incredible to
imagine even a Fabian injecting statis-
tics and the problem of housing into
Miss Terry's delightful abandon; but
at all events Captain Brassbound's
Conversion" energies as romantic a
play as any ever contrived by the
brain of Sardou. With such a play
added to "The Man of Destiny" and
"Casar and Cleopatra" we realize that
Shaw is only another sad example Of
the Puritan who killed his soul.
This was the play that was acted last
night by Miss Gertrude Kingston in
the Neighborhood Playhouse, over on
the East Side, and IL is safe TO say that
even Shaw's heart would have warmed
at the appreciation his work received
Miss Kingston is said to be the one
actress other than Miss Terry who has
ever been allowed by Shaw to play
Lady Cicely Waynhete, that most de-
lightful of Shavian heroines. Her de-
cision to make her debut in America
far over in Grand Street was unusual
and yet most commendable.
The part of Lady Cicely Waynfete
is one in which any actress of distinc-
ton would revel Lady Cicely is an
aristocratic Candida, impossible and
yet delightful. Shaw at his best and
wittiest, Miss Kingston did not exhaust
its possibilities-it would be really
great actress who could do that but
she gave a neat, clear cut, whimsical
performance, and won well merited APP
plause. She proved herself, in short, a
Shavian actress of the true vein. Gar
way Herbert was most amusing as the
Cockney, Drinkwater, and John Daly
Murphy gave effectively the American
naval officer Ross Canmer did not
realize the real effectiveness Of Cap
tain Brassbound. He gave admirably
enough the rough smuggler, but he lost
the under meaning Of the character.
The rest of the cast was competent.
The audience was large and enthu-
siastic, but distinctly not Of the East
Side. It was composed rather OF the
supporters and artistic believers in the
playhouse, than of the people them
selves. Miss Kingston could not have
had a more gratifying reception, and
at the end Of the play she made little
speech, saying that she would cable TO
Mr. Shaw, telling him of her success,
and thanking her audience for its kind
