TIjouKh It was a pity that none of the fou plays on view was In his elder vein, yet oven so comparatively recent a piece as "The Doctor's Dilemma," which the Plays and Players revived, ave pretty strong hints of how the new and popular Shaw has changed from the man who mljht havo said, with Glovannlttl: I rtlnK my shaft and my disgust Agatnit your gapl and your law. In hta personal opinions Shaw Is no less "advanced" than of yore. He has oven substituted equality of Income for the comparatively respectable state so cialism which he preached as a Fabian. But since "Fanny's First Play" his plays have grown steadily less vehement, less . iconoclastlo and. less pregnant with orig inal thinking. In plnce of his old origi nality of attitude, he has gained a mel lowness toward his fellow man. '.'Pre- raallon' la Just as much nearer a sym tht!3 treatment of humanity as It la stilt far from what Shaw calls It, "a ro mance." Certainly the play at the Broad has nothing In It to offend the most con ventional. A record for Shaw. Sid Shaw Up and Steal "PygmnlJonP" Press agents are a curiously publtc oplrited lot Here Is the conscientious and well-read representative of "Pyg malion" trying to prove that Shaw stolo the Idea of the play from Smollett. He ay he found It In the1 Literary Echo, but you can safely put It down to his own honesty and erudition:- Those who have forgotten the de tails of Smollett's "Peregrine Pickle" may be reminded that In one episode if the story the hero, in very much the name way aa the professor in Pygmalion,' purchases for a small sum o. young street girl from her mother. A thorough washing and new clothes produce a remarkable trans formation in the neglected child. Encouraged by this and convinced that the difference between the accent of tho upper classes and the street is at thf bottom a small one, the hero gives his protege lessons la enunciation, or, a Mr. Shaw has It, phonetics, and boasts that he will be able to Introduce hr into society. The girl shows herself highly adapt able; only one habit, the use of oaths, she cannot break away from. Like Kliia In the play, the street child is first introduced Into the circle of the hero's relatives and then into great social celebrations, -with complete suc cess; even her oaths, like Eliza's oc caalonal lapses, are admired as a fnrlf of grent orlslnaJltyl At this point comes the only differ- oss MflE& Gmmms Tie Walnut vtn. ftS., K .

It can be re markably good and remarkably bad, not only in a single production but In a single scene. Take "Pygmalion," for Instance. The setting for the third act reproduces Shaw's directions almost perfectly: Mrs. Hlgglns was brought up on Morris and Burno-Joncs; nnd her room, which Is very unlike her son's room In Wlmpole street, is not crowded with furniture and little tables and knlcknacks. In tho middle of the room there Is a big ottoman, and this and tho carpet, the Morris wallpapers and Morris chintz win dow curtains and brocade covers of tho ottoman and Us cushions, supply all the ornament ana are much too handsome to be hidden by odds and ends of useless things. The room Is very pleasing, Indeed to look at. The scene at the professor's Is set with square corners that are a welcome relief from the usual splay angles of the theatre. But the attempt to fake a solid, carved door-casing by painting shadows on the flat, Is not only unsuccessful but irritating. The first act combines good nnd bad touches In the same set. The good part Is the general arrangement of the shelter ing church porch and the misty view of the Covent Garden Market between the pillars. But to curse this reality, the scemo artist has set up a flat scene of canvas painted to represent vegetable baskets, and ha has thrown a single spot light on one side of the stage, Instead of directing It from two lamps above or mak ing It come from the church within, To cap it, Monday night the stage manager CHESTNUTST.Ke- Home of World's Greatest Photo Plays 4 TIMES DAILY AFTERNOONS, I and B lOo and Wo EVENINaS. 7 and 0 10c.
