Shaw could fail to be amused and
entertained by this exchange of
letters, as indeed she did fail.
A friend of both Shaw and
OCasey made book news during
1852. This is George Jean Nathan,
who at mid-season rewarded his
flock with "The World of George
Jean Nathan" collection of his
essays on everything. 1t is in
this omnibus, if any one is inter-
eSted, that one may find the
answer to his curiosity as to why
violently protesting humans spend
a lifetime in dramatic criticism.
1t is an activity that brings them
constantly into contact with ideas
of every sort. The treatment of
these ideas by playrightS, pro-
ducers, directors and actors may
be merely exasperating, as Mr..
Nathan'S long life attests, but ap-
praising them is a fascination
from which no critic, once in
fected, ever fully RECEIVERS.
Having compiled this book, Mr..
Nathan made news by not writing
another. Few are the authors who
can attract attention by not work.
ing, but Mr.. Nathan is one of
them. This he proved by aban-
doning his annual "Theater Book
of the Year, 1951-52." Such
season, Mr.. Nathan decreed, was
unworthy of being recorded in a
book of his; a punishment for
mediocrity that may make it think
twice before making another ap-
pearance in Judge Nathan's court.

Shaw and Mrs. Campbell

Another vastly enjoyable auto
biographical work, quite unin-
tended as such, turned out to be
the collected correspondence of
Bernard Shaw and Mrs. Patrick
Campbell. AS a man who could
not resist the temptation to dance
Intellectually with every idea that
came along, Shaw was a tailor
made victim of the great actress

Their affair provided him with
another opportunity to cajole the
English language into his service
for a purpose that turned out to
be literary no matter how much
either or both intended otherwise.
1t takes the shape of Bernard
Shaw and Mrs. Patrick Campbell;
Their Correspondence" by Alan
Dent. The title, by the way, re-
veals Drama Critic Dents basic
loyalty in his billing of the two
correspondents. Shaw's name, in
his scale of values, automatically
goes at the top.
Whatever gallantry. or lack of
it, is involved here, Mr.. Dent has
performed a valuable service for
readers; and perhaps also for less
articulate lovers looking for in
spiration in their own use of the

O'Cosey's Life Story

This is the fifth volume of
O'Casey's life story, an endless
tale apparently and surely the
most singingly written autobiog-
raphy of all time. It abounds with
great names to fortify. if that be
needed, the truth that O'Casey is
the gr ear name caller of all time.
w. B. Yeats is there, and Bernard

O'Casey refused to go to a great

and the single unmarried grace of
O'Casey's life, his marriage to
lovely Eileen Carey.
It perhaps is not in the nature
of O'Casey tc admit it but as one
of the great authentic, anguished
talents of his time, he has fought

The Best READING

So it was that it found its most
enjoyable reading-and naturally
it's ideas of the best reading-in
the field of autobiography. Enter
tainment is a gossipy area of
human endeayor. It's days are
spent savoring crumbs and NOR
sells of truth and falsity concern
ing it's fellow creatures of the
theater, movies, etc.
In the absence of a richly in
formed, or richly misinformed,
luncheon or dinner companion,
there is no joy to equal sitting
down with good autobiography
or biography. These volumes deal
with lives in terms of intimate
revelation that are endlessly
fascinating.
The best of these in 1852 was
not Miss Bankhead'S, even though
"Tallulah" is the most explosively
popular. Far more brilliantly
written and more probing of a
profounder genius, is Sean
O'Casey'S Rose and Crown"

critical attention. is Robert

dramatic effort to trace ChapllnS
immortal little tramp character
back to the great heroic archtype.
Naturally, it's impact was consld-
erably less than that OF Chaplin

controversy with the immigration
authorities. Nevertheless, it mace
a considerable bid for attention.

intellectual levels to engross Ihe
