LONDON, March 14 —Bernard Shaw has written another pl “The Apple Cart.” The famous Irish dramatist, sage and philosopher has peeped into the future and woven an ultra-modern {mlmcul plot, as unlike “Saint Joan,” his last play, as anything can be. That is about all the public will know about “The Apple Cart” until Sir Barry Jack- son_ produces it in his theater festival &t Malvern in August, Mystery Shrouds Man. ‘The mere announcement of & new Shaw play caused renewed search for information about the foremost man of the English theater, who, living in the heart of London, overlooking the sweep of the Thames from Westminstar to Charing Cross and St. Paul's, busies himself on big tablets of green paper, writing meticulous, elementary short- hand notes. The paper must be green: at first thought a bit of the eccentricity of genius, or lingering Irish sentimentality. Actually it is commonsense relief of ain. B. S.” is one of the great figures of the times. But little is known of Bernard Shaw the man: how he works and plays, lives his pleasant, quiet home life, maintains a multiplicity of interests, keeps up to the chin in affairs of the day., does tremendous literary ‘work, and shows no sign of quitting. Shaw, at 72, healthy, vigorous, en- thusiastic, sticks to London and revels in life. King George, nearly 10 years his junior, has just escaped death’s door. Other public men, all younger, flee England’s treacherous climate at this time of year. Shaw works away on a vegetarian and fruit diet, is rarely ill, and laughs at men who insist meat and alcohol are necessary for sustained mental effort. Busy, fogey London holds him as it has for the 50 years since he fared forth from Dublin. More plays and books to write, more vivid opinions to express, more causes to advocate. Rich enough to idle away old age in a villa in the south of France, Shaw keeps faith with his creed of intense work, equally plain living and high thinking. Has Produced Considerable Work. ‘The years slip by: the red beard of youth, snow-white now, lends a venera- ble. even patriarchal appearance to the famous Mephistophelian countenance, but Shaw doesn’t desert his muse. The new play brings his dramatic works to nearly 40 in 40 years—as many as Shakespeare himself—not to mention half a dozen forgotten novels; nor forgotten books on government, politics, criticism, dramatic reviews, prefaces, political propaganda and translations. Still the Shavian pen pours out a flood of brilliance. Last year he com- pleted his monumental book on “So- cialism and Capitalism”; the year be- fore, “Saint Joan"; before that, “Back which takes five nights to act. Of his many-sided genius, America knows Shaw the dramatist, and some- STAR OF THE WE PAUL WHITEMAN AND HIS ORCHESTRA * 23-D How about Me.

Twenty thousand coples of his last book were ordered by an Amer- ican bpok club before publication. The human Shaw, the kindly, sym- pathetic soul, who adopts the pose of a literary tyrant to hide natural shyness and modesty, is an unfamiliar figure, even in England. Nor is much known of the religious Shaw, the homey Shaw or the generous Shaw. Not long ago an American journali: in London, fell on hard times. “G. B.

Despises Commercialized Sport. Usually his gifts are to a well defined purpose, as was the Anglo-Swedish Literary Foundation, to which he de- voted all the funds of the Nobel prize for literature, awarded him in 1926. The real Shaw is masked from the | world in many ways. The line in the | British “Who's Who,” giving Shaw's Tecreation as “anything but sport,” is a characteristic Shavian jest. Shaw may detest commercialized sports, but he doesn't disapprove of athletics and ath- |letes. Few men have taken better care {of their bodies.
