Bernard Shaw, Our Lending Playwright
UNJIISTAKAuLV tills Is the week for Philadelphia to ponder the words of
GcqrRe Jean N'nlhnn, printed In the Amusement Section Inst week "I
bfillevo with What Is nlmost a 42-centimetre Imbecility Hint poor tleorgo Shaw
la our most talented living play.wrlslit." Translated Into tho commonplace
.English with which most of us critics have to be satisfied, It means that the
mart Who wrote the delightful fable play nt the Adelphl, "Androctcs nnd the
Lion," is tho one outstanding playwright of Eilglnnd or America whoso lnrso
output oxccls In such notable tua1ltlcs ns wit, humor, wisdom, cnprlce. Intel
Jectunf srasp. observation, technique, characterization, topicality, philosophy.
Both vigorous nnd delicate Knglish nnd mysticism. A rather large order; In '
fact, o particularly largo order In view of the fact that tho public has only Just I
begun to recognize his entertaining qualities, twenty years after his start and '
ten after his prime.
Shaw seriously."
As for tho critics, they aro still a little afraid of "tnklng
Why?
Leaving tho critics to tholr fate which Is to enjoy Shaw let us try to find
ut why wo have waited till 1916 to make a stir about tho man who wroto his
incomparable comedy, "Von Never Can Tell," back In 1896. Tho answer, It
aeems to me. Is that tho very qualities of his greatness defeated large-scale
Appreciation at the moment, nnd that America has a theatro system which
tnust keep ten years behind the demand In order not to lose too much money.
"Barbarian" Germany where Shaw has been far more popular than Shake
speare and Shahaspearo fnr more popular than Oeorgo Cohan with us bar
barian Germany had tho right sort of theatre nnd barbarian Germany rather
liked the "defects of his qualities."
On Walking Too Fnr Ahead of tho Procession
Shaw had a habit of being ahead of his time a terrible Insult for which
fnore than one man has suffered tho cross. It wasn't till 1911 nnd '"Fanny's
First Play," that ho had tho grace to slow down a bit and tho rest of us tho
Energy to catch up.
To give Just a few cases. Shnw wrote the first "white slave drama" In
J3 or '94, and had tho misfortune of seeing "Mrs. "Warren's Profession" acted
ilinprofltably ten years later by Arnold Daly and Mary Shaw; while, If the
producers had only watted another decade, would hnvo been quite In fnshlon.
"Arms and the Mnn" took the Balkans In hand too early and left Oscar Strauss
Ho reap the profits at tho proper tlmo with "The Chocolate Soldier." In 190S
, Bhaw explained a good deal about munition making, via ".Major Barbara"; nnd
Bow the European war has turned it Into a success for Graco George.
e
Adrnnccd Journalism nnd Advanced Thought
All that Is a matter of too advanced Journalism. The same thing applies
1 to his advanced thought. We havo caught up to "Widower's Houses" at last,
'Fanny's First Play" Is a primer of youthful rebellion, nnd "Pygmalion" nnd
"Androclcs" seem almost conservative commonplaces. But Mr. Shaw's mind Is
too varied nnd too nlcrt to be completely captured. We can still worry over
one thing or another. Yet tho fact that largo nreas of Shaw's thought still
Beem all wrong to us nt the present moment, shouldn't deter us rrom liking tnon
,tal exorcise nnd from getting ready to like his other Idens some day about the
time wo give up those we now accept. For that Is only tho history of nil worth
while thought, Including large portions of the Bible. Thought Is, after all, only a
pleasurable human activity, a deluding dissipation, that helps us on our way
today and leaves us sadder and wiser men nnd women tomorrow.
The Double-track .Mind
Kven radicals of Shaw's own kidney have had trouble with him. For Shnw
is no mere enthusiast, no panacea-peddler with a one-sided vocabulary. As a
humanitarian he has always lintcd war. But ho did not, llko so many, deny Its
coming. With singular prophecy, he mntlo Fcrrovius say In "Androclcs," "In
my youth I worshipped Mars, the god of war. 1 turned from him to servo the
Christian God: but today tho Christian God forsook mo; and Mars ovcrcamo
mo and took back his own. The Christian God Is not yet. He will come when
Mars and I are dust."
Shaw Is Just as firm n democrat, but he does not for that renson exalt the
poor of todny. For his purposes ho eschews the mass of mankind ns dramatic
material. "Industrial slavery," he writes, "is not compatible with that freedom
of adventure, that personal refinement nnd- Intellectual culture, that scope ot
action, which tho higher nnd subtler drama demands." On that bnsls ho has
erected a marvelous structure of philosophic high comedy, which renches a lino
nnd rare mysticism In such characters as Keegan of "John Bull's Other Island"
and tho mayoress ot "Getting Married." Such drama Is a princely thing, but
It is not easily recognized or npplnuded, and It denies too much the Immense
emotional domain of the drama. There lies his prime fault; It Is his glory
that he exceeds in his own field tho easier efforts of other playwrights In theirs.
Shutting Off Drama From the Masses
By this deliberate intellectuallzntlon Shaw would shut off drama from the
masses. Just as he shuts off so much of his own drama by the exclusion of any
but the exceptional mnn and woman from his ploys. The drama is surely the
worst of places for such worship of tho mind. The drama deals fundamentally
with emotion, tho stuff upon which lntellectuallsm must bo based, tho stuff
that, roused by environment and circumstance, dictates those processes which
we flatter ourselves by calling mental. Such emotion, with Its reflection in tho
Intellectual,, is rich In all of us. It Is often deepest, most violent and moving
la those whom Shaw eschews. Tho wide ranging subtlety of tho novel, for tho
classes; the drama, for the masses oven If it Is only tho "movies."
Pupils in the Great School
When Shaw writes, "A poor man is useful on the stage only as a blind
nan is: to excite sympathy," he Is doing more than deny the possession of
human and therefore Interesting emotions, human and therefore lmportnut
reactions, to any but the cultivated leisure class. He is denying them anything
but the part of pupils In a. school which ho has described as "a factory of
thought, a prompter ot conscience, an elucldator af social conduct, and nn
armory against despair and dullness nnd a temple of the ascent of man." Ho
la assuming the aristocratic position that all truth, all goodness, all progress
lie with a slnglo class. Tho masses are to worship In this temple of the ascent of
man only by adoration or execration of the cultured: they aro not to learn by
contemplation of themselves; and the cultured classes are not to learn by the
contemplation of the average run of life.
Shaw forgets the realities of this world, as well as Buch examples of the
ver bright works of Bunyan and Foxe, when ho says, "When poverty Is abol
ished and leisure and grace of life become genoral, the only plays surviving will
be those in which none of the persons represented are troubled with want of
money' or wretched drudgery. Our plays of poverty and squalor, now the only
ones that are true to the Uvea of the majority of living men, will then bo
classed with the records of misers and monsters, and read only by hlstoral stu
dents of social pathology."
It 1b a curious kink In Shaw's thinking to recognize poverty as falsely
wicked, and yet to aee as a pre-vlston of a desirable future state the leisure
Which this poverty and exploitation make possible. The truth Is rather that
the life of leisure and luxury which figures in our plays nowadays Is as detest
able as the life of poverty which prevails in our slums; and that the play which
presents that life will stand us much of a chance of "being read only by his
torical students of social pathology," unless some great dramatist like Shaw
animates it with the Are that keeps it ever young. K. M,

Bringing a Mountain
to Mohammed
Stage producers have gone to heretofore
unhenrd-of extremes to produce sensa
tional and spectacular effects, especially
since the rngo of the "movie" melodramas
has predominated. It Is doubtful, how
ever. If anything more startling or moro
original In Idea has ever been shown
than the mountain of snow used In the
dancing pantomime of Allco Els and Bort
French, who come to U. F. Keith's Thea-
worked street and conservatory drop cur
tains. And the furnishings, too. Why, I
remember seeing the same old red plllimx
and bear rugs used, not to mention Hie
many different small pieces ot deciuatlon.
What a great relief It Is to llnd an n t
which litis the foresight to bring Its own
scenery, and how much better It It shown
to Its own advantage. Why cannot scen
ery be changed ns well as the acts?
