By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, November 27.—George Bernard Shaw was regarded by the late Frank Harrls, who knew the Irishman intimately, as a far less important fig- | ure than Shaw himself or the world | believes him to be. | The opinion of Harris is found in his posthumous blography, “Bernard Shaw,” which will be published tomorrow. In biographical dictionaries a thou- sand years hence, Harris wrote, Shaw will be mentioned as “Shaw, Bernard; subject of a bust by 'Rodin; otherwise unknown.” “St. John” Held Last Work. Harris believed that SBhaw's life as a | dramatist ended after the flltln’ of the play “St. Joan.” For surely, sald Har- | is, “The Apple Oart” was written by a dead man, Shaw, in fhe view of Harris, has been a hard worker, but all his plays lack the something that stamps greatness. One usually has a good time in the | theater with Shaw, said Harris, but no | better than a circus or a cinema. “He s the wittiest author of our he may be even the wittlest of | English literature,” wrote Harris, “but his plays, almost all of them, lack vitality. ‘On re-examining Shaw's 40-odd vol: umes—on every subject in the rld Now, tempt of court, as I have. nor for poaching_as Shakespeare did, nor for folly as Wilde did, nor for roguery as villon did, nor for another man as Cervantes did.” STALIN HELD OPPORTUNIST. Shaw Holds Russian Leader Is Puzzling Potentate. LONDON, November 27 (#)—A new | description of Joseph Stalin, director of Communist power in Soviet Russia, was added to the thousands already on file today in the record of & speech made to the Fablan Soclety last night by George Bernard Shaw, its high priest. Stalln, Bhaw told his fellow intel- lectual Socialists, is a Fuullng poten- tate who is head man of all Russia, but his official position is “secretary of a committes chosen by himself for the | purpose of electing himself its secres tary.” He is a complete opportunist, Shaw went on, who, by a process of trial and error, is molding a new Russia. Status in Doubt. “You are either Communists or you are what Ramsay MacDonald and Vis. count Snowden are—whatever that he said. “‘Communism 8 a force which will be set up against capitalism. There is nothing left of bolshevism, collectiv- sm, anarchism or class war. Only com- munism remains. “Under the pressure of practical ap- lication the Soviet government has turned communism into Fablanism. But the Communists won't take our name 50 we must take theirs.” After all, he added, Russian com- munism is nothing more than the pro- fnm the Fabians have been preaching or 40 years. But he had his jibes at Russia, t0o, | based on observations made during his visit there last Summer. The trouble with the first Russian traetors, he said, was that “they could not tract.” He described Russian peasants, drafted for factory work, dumping tractor parts in the middle of the floor and trying to pick out the proper pleces and put | them together. Communism Impractable. “The trouble with Russi He said, “is that there are too many people | there like Bernard Shaw. They know | | all about communism—its history and | | its principles, its, theory and’ everything | | else—but they can't do it.” | He recommended, however, that| British workmen, “who are entirely | | indifferent to their personal comfort,” | go to Russia, where, he said, they could : do_as well as in the homeland. Russian_peasants, he said, are pic- turesque figures who Kkissed his head | with their great beards and called Lady | Astor, who accompanied him on his tour, “darling” and “little mother.” Harris’ book contains a postscript and heretofore unpublished letters by Shaw. In the postscript Shaw explains that since Harris died before the proofs | could be read he had read them him- self without eliminating any of the criticisms. ‘ “Naturally,” Shaw wrote, “I do not indorse all the judgments in this book. I think that in every case where Frank Harris goes not understand me or any other of his contemporaries the real difficulty is that he does not under- stand himself. | “Its scale of values on which my me- clological work appears so insignificant and the most negligible sex episodes- or absence of episodes—appears of su- preme importance, could be justified only in a book wedly dealing with my sex history BURGLAR CHOKES TAKOMA WOMAN Husband Answers Wife's Screams and Holds Man for Police.
