why the dramatiit wrltea more mtelli-gently ab-ut Juliua Ca»sar than aboutSir EdwaH tirey. It mav alio ex-

llain the fact that Shaw leema thor-oughly at home in the elghteenth cen-

turv court of Catherine of Runia andbomewhat at sea in latirizing Kngliihand (ierman war psychoiogv. All ofwhich leads to the reiteration of ourbelief that *'Great ratherine" ii a

vastly better plav than "The Inca ofI'emaaletn."Shaw can't blame his failure to un-

fh-rstand the English on lack of earlylolvantagrs. He was born lriih, whichguve him a gTeat head-start, but he hassince dawdled. Soccer and airloinabeef and beer, ale and athletica, allthoie Shaw has neglected. If he hasdenationalizcd himself he has his re-

It is strange that Lord Dunaanvshould have written "The Queen'sKnemiea" without ever having seenN'azimova. In a world of imperfec*adjustmenti nothing mav come of it,but it will be her play in heaven.This is a ploce designed for trx actresscapable of discreet dupllcity. The au¬

There mav be a demand for a 9o'clock theatre. but one can get to theNeighborhood Playhouae after 10 andsee "Great '"atherine."

"Trifles," the beit play on the ax-cellent bill at the Comedy, la an in¬teresting example of the skilful cre-ation of atmosphere. Wlsely, MisiBuaaa (ilaspell has built it up aa thestory goes along. Once upon a UmeDavid Belasco produced a very at-moipheric play about Southern Cali¬fornia or northern Mexico called "ThaRose of the Rancho." Mr. Belaaco de¬cided to establish the atmosphereright away and have it done with, andso, when the curtain went up, aotna-

bo.ly tinkled a guitar and then pausedto yawn. There was a little moremusic and more yawning. So It wenton for five or ten mlnutei. Finallythere were snorei. They came fromthe audience.

"Trifles" does it much better. It llnecessary to eonvey to the audience asense of ehill bleaknen in the kitchenof an abandoned farm. BU by bit youcan feel the temperature drop ai point
