AROUND THE THEATRES

1 81 had known Shaw for many years
before ! first produced one Of his
plays, but my first business experience
with him was when we produced Get
ting Married last season. | must say
that despite his in5istence on the
most minor details connected with
production he is very satisfactory
man to do business with. His royalty
is the highest of any author, but il Is
point on which he will not argu.
Take it or leave it, but in less abrupt
fashion, is his response when any ono
wishes to bargain over royalties. We
had long correspondence over Get
ting Married in which every conceiy.
able thing was discussed preliminary
to signing contracts for the play.
With 'Misal!iance' he has left many
things to Us which previously he in
sisted upon deciding finally.
Every player in a Shaw play mus.
be passed on by Shaw. In these times
of unsatisfactory mail service and
strict supervision of cables this means
great trouble, Inconvenience and no
end of patience. For this reason We
have been thankful that the usual
Shaw strict supervision has been some.
what lifted in the case Of 'NisalliaEce.'
Still. he knows everything that j., be.
ing done, and so far everything has had
his approval
although Shaw, having never visited
America, has not seen many OF the
American actors. he is to an uncanny
degree familiar with their abilities and
possibilities. He was delighted With
the selection of the 'Msalliance' cast
We had hoped we might persuade him
to come over to supervise the rehears.
ais, but can get no definite reply from
him. should not be surprised If some
day Shaw appeared in New York with
out any heralding. 1t would be quite
like him and he would hugely enjoy The
situation.
I'VE open 'MisalIancc' in New York
Shaw refuses to let any of his plays be
tried on the dog We could 90 to
Boston, Chicago or Philadelphia, per-
haps, but one, two or three night
stands are tabooed
SHAW sent Us a sketch for the scene,
with suggestions for the color scheme
In regard 20 the business Of the aero
plane he was most amusing, and wen,
INTO the matter Of the Turkish bath
with considerable detail The Turkish
bath IS troubling US considerably, but !
think we nave a solution in sight
mo one could be more candid than
Shaw as regards the drawing power OF
his plays, and he estimates this with
remarkable astuteness, though We did
surprise him with the results Of Get
ting Married."

A month. they declare, is a long

THE CALL OF THE OPEN FIELDS
TUESDAY.
By Innri Zumwalt.

By Imri Zumwalt.
The street is full of turmoil and loud discordan din,
Of greed and lust the reeng stencil of SIM
Come out to the quiet places,
To the land of the open sky,
Afar from the thronging faces
Where sunlit meadows lie.
The street full of hatred eye for eye its rule;
1t crucfes the hero and crowns the knave and fool.
Come out where the truth is yelling
From natures springs divine;
Come out where the free dwelling
In world of peace benign.
Forget the street its baubes that tarnsh they're
Come out to the open spaces and find place in the
Come out when the day is sinking
Behind the western height,
When the world is darkness drinking
From the kindly hand of night
When like vast cathedral with dome far upward flung
Rises the vault of heaven with starry curtains hung
Come battle your fevered faces
In natures healing wine
And here in the quiet places
Bow at natures shrine,
While all around the pillars of the hills eternal rise
In majesty and silence toward the vasness of the Skies
