whose very good Judgment I respcct),
Mr.. Shannon overplayed his role. Ills

I could not feel pity for him. Instead
Of convincing at times, he seemed ludi-

Dear Sir: How-or why-did you
omit from your list of drunken scenes
in to-day's Tribune that delicious scene
in the last act of Bernard Shaw's Can

you mentioned, and also I've seen that
scene now on view at the Greenwich

ranks with any Of the rest Of them,

humor and of human nature in Prossy's
