LONDON, February 23.—George Bernard Shaw’'s cycle play, “Back to Methuselah” had its first London per- formgnee this week. It has received perhaps more unflattering press criticisms than any recent production of Shaw's, sOmeé papers ‘even Sug- | gesting that he is “spoofing” the public. At the opening show of the series Monday, the producer, responding to a curtain call, apologized for the author's not making & speech, he having said he preferred to wait for the final performance of the series, as he had done when the play was pro- duced at Birmingham recently.. Thus tonight, when the cycle ended, the audience were fully expectant of a speech and were extremely pointed when it was announced that the author was not in the house.
