to smile condescendingly on the
greatest OF English dramatists
The production, although OF re-
stricted appeal. was artistically and
sucC essfully completed and made the
most valuable dramatic experiment
in years.
But Shaw is apparently sincere in
his belief that the play is not suit
able for productions. There were
times when he was right. Particu-
larry was this true in the wearisome
second cycle. when the broad ex-
paase of conversation ard the chaos
Of clear ideas induced the belief that
Shaw better realized tire possibili-
ties of his brain-child that did the
foster parents who introduced il 20
dramatic society.
Interest Aroused.
There are two details in connec-
tiou with Lanzer's visit to Shaw
which have aroused interest. The
first is Shaw's comment when Re
sees the photograph Of Albert Brun-
Ing, who appeared as the garruious

The second Interesting feature Will
be Shaw's reception 10 Langer's ad-
mission that the TSeater Guild broke
