Lord Augustus Is a typically con-
ceived English country gentleman,
though II Is hard to imagine that the
same nation which produced this pom
pous blunderbuss also brought forth
Lloyd George, and as played by Hubert
bruce they have at least the similarity
Of bushy hair.
II Is quite possible there may have
been official bungling in England, but It
was also a foregone conclusion that the
Irish playwright would condemn any
war conducted by the English. The play
last night almost inspires a wish to see
the war as It would have been written
by Shaw himself.
There were several rather hackneyed
features of the sketch that make one
wonder whether the irrepressible Juvenile
OF the stage wasn't firing of thinking
up new impish FRANKS on the drama
a setting in the town OF Little Pifiing-
ton" the secret papers, a window shade
that files up abruptly and causes an
army officer to fall out OF his chair and
the spectacle of that same officer getting
his sword tangled up in his legs-all
these make one ask whether Shaw ism [
devoting the Same energy to his plays as
to his letters TO the Tones.
The small cast did admirably in each
case in getting all the incisive satire out
Of their lines and the play will have
the usual Shavian appeal. But one rather
imagines that just now the general
public will be inclined TO give war plays
the red cheYron.
