torial necessity. 1t is abso-
lutely indispensable to the
feminine wardrobe and it is
not likely that even the poivmuriel

II Charlie Chaplin's attention has
ever been called to Shaw, it is safe to
say that he likes Great Catherine"
above all the other plays. In cata-
loguing the works Of Shaw, this may
be classified as his custard pie comedy.
Here alone the dramatist has made
extensive use of physical humor.
In accord with his motto, when in
Rome Guido the Romans" Shaw has
proved himself broader than Fatty
Arbuckle or any of the Keystone crowd.
Mack Sennett, for instance, believes
that IL Ia effective TO kick a man only
in retreat. Shaw plays 1t both ways.
Quite the best kick Of his comedy lands
in the stomach. The dramatist has
also provided a number of comic falls
for an inebriated person and an up
roarious scene In which a trussed-up
officer is sent into gales Of laughter
when tickled by the toes of the Rus
sian queen. Intelligent physical foolery
is delightful, and no more rollicking
play has come from the pen OF Shaw
than "Great Catherine"
In reading a Shaw preface one fire.
quently feels that the author Is having
lot CT fun as the keys race to click
smooth moving thought into being, but
seldom is there jollity in any of the
plays. Even "You Never Can Tell"
the lone farce of the collection, begins
in a dentists Office. There are snatches
Of gayety in the first act of ARMS
and the Man" and more particularly
in Cesar and Cleopatra" notably the
scene where the conqueror discovers
the queen between the paws Of the
sphinx. Nor has Shaw been able COM
pletely to hide the keen joy which he
must have fell. In the creation Of Brit
tanicus, but "Grest Catherine" unlike
all the rest, is high spirited through
out More than any other play In the
long list, "Great Catherine" Is en-
HANGED by presentation on the stage.
Reading will not suffice to bring out
all the humor of this comedy, although
1t is fully up to the mark In wit as
we'll as fun.
We are almost disposed TO believe
that on the night Great Catherine"
was written somebody slipped cube
of beef bouillon into Shaw's soup.
There was something more inspira-
tional than spinach went into the max
ing of this play. We who think that
shaw is incomparably the greatest
dramatist Of the day cannot fail to
be thrilled by the discovery that upon
occasion he can be jovial as well as
witty.
The play tells the story OF a Young
British officer sent upon a mission TO
! st. Petersburg. where he has the mis-
! fortune to win the favor Of Catherine.
Loath to accept his opportunity to be-
come court favorite, the young man
gives the queen moral advice instead
of love. In superbly humorous
