Visual aids can be used to make the lecture more clear. Tryouts To Be Held For Heywood Farce Tryouts for "John, Tyb, and Sir .

Known for 'Parlor Politics' Shaw, whose long colorful ca reer enlivened three generations, was born in Dublin. Ireland, on July 26, 1856. Known for his unique garb, "parlor politics," strict vegetarian habits, and strong opposition toward alcohol, tobacco, and vaccinations, Shaw became the favorite subject of many lampooning cartoons. Although for many years he had some small success as a play wright, he was still comparatively unknown at the age of 43. It was not until 1900 when "The Devil's Disciple" was produced in New York that he had his fist finan cially successful play. 'Devil's Disciple' Launches Career His career as a playwright was launched and it was not long be fore theatres were clamoring for his new plays and reviving his old ones. Included among his many works are "You Can Never Tell," "C apt a i n Brassbound." "Caesar and Cleopatra," "Too True to be Good," "Back to Me thuselah," "Arms and Man." TODAY 50% SKIRTS BLOUSES JACKETS BERMUDA - Man and Superman," "Fanny's First Play," and "In Good King Charles' Golden Days." Perhaps the best known works of Shaw are "The Apple Cart.' "Candida ." "Major Barbara.' "Heartbreak House," "The Doc tor's Dilemma," "Pygmalion," and "Saint Joan," considered by many as his greatest masterpiece. Wrote 21 Plays Besides writing 24 plays, Shaw was also the author of a collec tion of notable prefaces, several treaties, and journalistic drama and music criticisms. Shaw was in his own odd way a romantic sentimentalist al though he spent much of his time and energy fighting against ro mance for he thought that ro mance interferred with what peo ple really saw going on in the world and it made them accept many appalling horrors.
