Mir never intended a play ut all.
'thi fan le done by buying the
Muw book at a More and discover
in? that all the actable drama in it
i the uncatalocued 101-page preface.
The Guild produced the wrong end
the book. A balancing of the tUgr
tai:e of the five dull "Pack to
MethtHrlah" ptayi itli the 50 bril
liant hit of dynamic proe in the
Hdare leave the scale distinctly
tipped toward the Utter. Tor in
Dtances: The most eventful thing
which bai so far happened on the
Mace of the Oarrick where the first
week of the play lu been devoted
if) its tirst two division -ha been
an incident in Shaw i apocryphal le
Kend of the Garden of Eden, show
mar us Cam jhotit to hit Father
Adam with the flat of a lath whittled
lo represent a tword.
Hut, in the preface, we have a
M-ene wherein Ood is about to hit
Shaw with a thunderbolt. A rev
erend had been relating to Shaw
mmhc instance! of miraculous divine
wrath and was particularly positive
that blasphemy could call down a
thunderbolt on the head of the blas
phemer. Up got Shaw in the Lon
don parlor, blasphemed, and held his
watch on God for five minutes,
while the Iir-rified hot-gospeller hid
underneath thr'furniture.
Which is the more dramatic'
There can be no doubt about it. A
thunderbolt is bigger than a lath
word. Also you never can tell
it might actually fall, as the. theater
management, having no control over
deities, could not be sure whether
the scene would end in applause or a
dead actor.
In the preface, Shaw, getting into
a towering rage about the crimes of
vivise ctionists, unburdens himself
forthrightly:
"I really do not wish to be abusive;
but when I think of these poor lit
tle dullards, with their precarioiu
bold of just that corner of evolution
that a black .beetle can understand
with their retinue of two penny-half
Torqucmadas wallowing in the in
famies of the vivisector's laboratory,
and solemnly offering us as epoch
making discoveries their demonstra
tions that dogs get weaker and die
it you give themi no food; that in
tense pain makes mice sweat; that,
if you cut off a dog's leg, the three
legged dog will have a four-legged
puppy, I ask myself what spell ha3
fallen on intelligent and humane men
that they allow themselves to be im
posed on by this rabble of dolts,
blackguards, imposters. quacks, liars
and worst of all, credulous, con
scientious fools.
This is language an actor can bite
into.' Here Mr. Shaw said a mouth
ful. In all the pages of his five plays
he never does better than say a
pageful.
The plays are 'a little bit more
amusing than they are exciting. In
the last part of the evening in the
Garrick there is some clever lam
pooning of Lloyd George and As
quith, of whom two of the characters
of the cast are counterparts. A great
deal of this amusement, by the way,
comes from the actors, who have
improved on the Shaw text by going
outside of it for two cartoons in
makeup and gesture of the English
man. But here again in matter for
mirth the preface is richer than the
work. Again such sly and meager
laughter from playgoers who are
well up on the international gossb
as may greet Shaw's digs, in the lat
ter, at the hen-pecked Asquith or the
vote-pecked Lloyd George. I put
the rih-sptittine spectacle, in the for
mer, of Mr. Shaw learning how to
ride a bicycle.
To quit this process of proof by
pieces and come to a summing up,
the matter of both the preface and
the plays is the storv of the theory
of evolution, since the days it was
science to the dav it became religion.
And. in the preface, Shaw tells dra
matically how it happen :d, in the
plays undramatically why. Clearly
the nrodtiction of "Back to Me
thuselah" in the Garrick leaves an
awful opening for some rival enter
prisea play which can be titled
'The Front to Methuselah."
Shaw calls his latest opus and he
refers to it once or twice, with sen
ile melancholy, as a possible last opus
a "contribution to the modern Bi
ble." The dogma he advances is that
humankind has an expectation of
longer life. Three score and 10, he
argues, is a baby span, and civiliza
tions, politicians, artists, messiahs
and laborers die before they have
struggled out of swaddling clothes.
Let humanity extend the liie span to
1 000 years and it will get astonish
ing results. Projects that now die be
cause one generation cannot com
plete them and the next generation
cannot remember them, will materi
alise. , ,
The trouble with the earth, Shaw
decides, after looking at it from the
eminence of his talent and the re
moteness of his 70 years of age, is
r.ot that humans can discover no
ways and means but that' they exert
nolwilt. .
He goes into the matter of human
will at length. Its existence is proved,
he ventures, by the biologic phenom
enon of "conscious , evolution." Of
this term, having no. confidence in
the. reader's powers of understand
ing' he gives a whole play and half
a ffreface of explanation. It is evo
lution backed by will God helping
thc monkey who helped himself to
become a man and willing now to

help man to become superman.' It is
disagreement, within tne camp ot
evolutionists with the Darwinian
legend of automatic, selective evolu
tion. It is shortly Shaw's "survival of
the tightest" erected to combat Dar
win s survival of the fittest.
The plays are part, with H. G.
Wells' earliest and latest' works and
(cm this side of the Atlantic) with
Roosevelt's "strenuous life,"1' of that
system of living the over-full life
which has fascinated the contem
porary Anglo-Saxon, The world, for
Shaw, Wells, Roosevelt and all their
unconscious disciples Edison, with
his four-hour sleeps, the above-average
American business man with
his 14-hour days is so full of a
number of things that they; are all
as unhappy as kings,
The philosophy of achievement, is
to me antipathetic. I 'take myself
as a standard instance. I. believe I
could set myself up as an anti-Shaw
with an anti-Bible if I had. any tal
ent for preaching a gospel of non
achievement. Such a Bible would be
founded on the premises that humans
achieve too much that the trouble is
not that they live so. short that they
have no time to get ouS of troubles,
but that they live so long that they
have time to. get into .them; that
too many books are written,' too
many fortunes made and lost, too
many battles lost and wop, too many
civilizations started and ended, all
for the one reason that too much
life is lived. In the ideal world this
Bible would etch, there would be
short and much less active .'life, at
least half spent in charming leisure
and given to labor only when there
was true occasion for such unnatural
effort. Human achievement. :;wculd
be then reduced to an important
minimum, restrained and winnowed
by a maximum of philosophic iner
tia, and mercifully stopped- by early
demise.
Shaw is fantastically old and this
one of his . admirers .fantastically
young. On the verge of a grave,
Shaw finds that he has a lot to do
and no time to do it in. On the
verge of the thirties. I find nothing
to do and a lot of .time to do it in.

burn is considering a reproduction
of the popular magazine' story that
raised him to stardom' a few years
ago and started the vogue of light

There is a new heiress to the con
