" Shaw keeps rubbing it in that his celebration in Chicago was bigger

than mine."

rhe International Literary Spotlight
Focuses on Bernard Shaw and Chicago

By Fanny Butcher

4 MERICA with the lid off "... that is what George Bernard Shaw called Chicago,
\ his only acquaintance with^which was via rumor and reading, altho two of his plays

had their world premiere here and "Candida" its first American performance.

On the centenary of his birth, Chicago proved he might be right. With the imprima-
r of Mayor Daley, who pro-
aimed July 26 Bernard Shaw
ly, Chicago had the only
orning to midnight celebra-
jn in the world with a fire-
orks display of wit and ora-
ry. . . . In London a few
riters gathered for a quiet
;getarian, nonalcoholic repast
i honor of the arch vegetar-
n and teetotaler.
New York's contribution to
ie occasion was made at an
rening program here under
e aegis of the Theatre guild
id other dramatic groups,
ith Patrick H. Hoy, president
I the Sherman hotel, as entre-
reneur — still aglow over the
;dication ceremonies in the
ternoon [toasted in Shaw's
ivcr : *° tipple, ginger beer] of
\M permanent George Ber-
i. iw room in the hotel.

. . ihe now handsome room
as formerly a bowling alley.
In the George Bernard Shaw
>om at 10 o'clock of a Thurs-
ly morning more than 550
len and women gathered to
sten to a symposium on Shaw
y six men, who spoke with wit
ad zest. They were introduced
y Robert Preble, president of
ie Encyclopaedia Britannica.
he day was under the auspices
f the Adult Education Council
f Greater Chicago, in coopera-
on with the American Na-
onal Theater and Academy,
ie Shaw Society of America,
ie Theatre Guild, and the
ouncil of the living Theatre,
?hich divided the tributes.

ymposium of Six
John Wardrop, a Scotsman
/ith a mesmerizing burr, spoke
f Shaw as philosopher. . . .
Ie was 19 when he met Shaw,
hen 83, and for the next 11
ears they had a close working
riendship. . . . A. C. Spector-
ky author of "The Exurban-
1 id assistant to the pub-

f Playboy magazine, had
ulr^with the subject, " Shaw
he Playboy," defining that
rord as " one who enjoys life
o the full and with intelli-
;ence."

Norman Thomas, America's
No. 1 Socialist, talked of the
founder of England's Fabian
society in the brilliant "off
with their heads" manner at
which Shaw was past master.
... He reminded his audience
that Shaw wasn't the great po-
litical thinker Shaw thought he
was, for Shaw had admired
Hitler and Mussolini, and to
the day of his death claimed
that Stalin was a great states-
man.

The specially honored guest
of the day was 79 year old
Archibald Henderson, for 52
years Shaw champion and biog-
rapher [his latest life, in half a
million words, will be published
Nov. 15] and president of the
George Bernard Shaw Society
of America, a Chicago chapter
of which was fomned at the
dedication of. the Shaw room
in the afternoon.

Henderson was studying high-
er mathematics at the Univer-
sity of Chicago in 1903, he said,
when he was inveigled into at-
tending an amateur perform-
ance of a play called "You
Never Can. Tell," by an un-
known Ifmh playwright. ... It

was a turning point in his life.

William Saroyan, who is some-
thing of an authority on the
subject himself, spoke on Shaw
as a poseur. ... He confided
to his audience that it was be-
cause he was so bored with
what others wrote that he began
writing himself, so that he
would have something to read.
He hadn't read much of Shaw
when, duriiig the war as a GI
private, he went to call oh the
83 year old playwriijht at Ayot
St. Lawrence, armored for the
interview with a rare war time
gift, a basket of fresh fruit [$50
worth]. . . . Shaw greeted him
as "the wop playwright from
New York" and his gift with,
" Why does everyone in Amer-
ica think I am starving? "...
Robert Chapman, drama pro-
fessor at Harvard and himself a

vriter of plays, spoke on Shaw
as a playwright. ... He con-
aiders "Heartbreak- House," he
said, " the most urgent play of
today," and its author second
only to Shakespeare. "But,"
said Chapman, "it is strange
that Shaw's influence is almost
nonexistent on playwrights to-
day."

Lunch Was Vegetarian

From the symposium the by
that time starry eyed audience

migrated alsws - ; as a body to
the grand bafiroam, which was
filled to capacity for a luncheon
which Shaw, the ardent vege-
tarian, might have ordered
Iiimself. . . . Ihe master uf
ceremonies at Uie ascetic feast
was R. Sargent Shriver Jr.,
president of Chicago's board of
education, wl 3 quipped thM it
had taken six nsen thus far to
explain Shaw. He introduced
Maurke F. X. CoaohKe of the
University A Chicago tad ptes-
Jent cf tLfl %;inlt Lauci'iou
Council >if Greater Chicago,
who iold of the council's ex-
panded program and quoted
Shaw pertinently, **As long as
you continue learning you will
never waiir to die."

He pre&.zued an award >'o
Archibald Henderson. Then
Herman Fin^r, also of the Uni-
versity of Chicago, elut?idated
the theme cf "Back to Me-
thuselah," two scenes from
which were presented by the
First Chicago Drama quartet,
produced aid directed by Lois
P. Solomon, whose idea was re-
sponsible for the fabulous day.
. . . For news of how it hap-
pened and the story of the star
studded evening, stay tuned toi
this station next week.

The Shaw Review - How It\Grew

Bulletin Number One of the Shaw Society of America

ppeared in February, 1951. It was a modest affair of
ight pages, but represented much spadework on the part
f the editor, William D. Chase of the Flint (Mich.)
ournal. On the first page was a message from G3S,
/ritten just a few months before he died in November,
950. Inside were comments of an elegiac turn, and news
f Shavian interest.

The second issue took on the dignity of "Volume 1,
lumber 2," and added some pages of articles and a con-
inuing current bibliography of Shaviana. By Number
"hree the journal had definitely grown from Society
■ rgan to become The Shaw Bulletin, and contained volu-
ble pieces on Shaw letters and manuscripts, a critique
.f Buoyant Billions by Felix Grendon, and other
rticles.

1953 the journal was well launched - - so well
hw^ ,mp issues now rank as collector's items. Such,
or example, as Number Four, which featured "Dickens
ind Shaw," by Edgar Johnson, biographer of Boz; or
-lumber Five, which contained Carl J. Weber's revealing
'A Talk with Bernard Shaw." The fifth issue (May,
954) announced the transfer of editorial reins to Dan
\. Laurence of Hofstra College, and the intended puli-
ation of The Shaw Bulletin on a regular three-a-year
lasis (January, May and September)--a schedule still
ollowed in the journal's latest metamorphosis. Later
ssues in the first volume featured several exciting
terns in Shavian scholarship—a series on the Blanco
3 osnet controversey, including little-known pieces by
haw, Yeats and Joyce; two articles by Archibald
enderson anticipating his third biography of Shaw;
rank Scully's revelation of his ghosting of Frank
larris's Shaw biography; and Mr. Laurence's article
emonstrating the completeness of Shaw's last "un-
inished" playlet, Why She Would Not. However with
ie onset of Mr. Laurence's long illness in 1955, the
3urnal suspended publication temporarily.

blication was resumed in 1956 when the present
transferred the editorial address to The Pennsyl-
ania State University. The first issue emanating from
Iniversity Park contained a much-quoted essay by
ibrettist Alan Jay Lerner on the making of My Fair
ady from Pygmalion.

Volume II began in 1957 (and ends with the current
issue), the second number notable for an eightieth birth-
day salute to authorized Shaw's biographer, Archibald
Henderson, by Brooks Atkinson and an exhaustive
bibliography of Hendersonian writings on the modern
drama by Lucile Kelling. Also prominent was an ex-
hibit in evidence that the journal did not intend to be or
to become an apologist for, or panegyrist of, Bernard
Shaw--in an outspoken article by the rarely printed (in
America) Henry Miller. Later tables of contents listed
"Romain Rolland and George Bernard Shaw," "Shaw
and Resloration Comedy," a symposium on "Ideas and
the Theatre," and "Saint Joan and Motion Picture
Censorship. "

By the end of 1957, the Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity Press (setting an enlightened and challenging
precedent for the academic press) had become co-
publisher--with The Shaw Society of America—of the
journal, a step which has led to continued expansion in
size and coverage, and (in 1959) a format face-lifting,
coupled with name change to The Shaw Review. The
present title, with which the journal opens Volume III
in 1960, indicates an ability to publish articles of great-
er length and scope than heretofore, and the intention to
focus not only upon GBS, but also upon the individuals
in each generation of his continued creativity upon
whom his impact was felt, and, in turn, who had some
effect upon his own thought and work. Past articles in
Volume II on Granville 3arker and Edward Garnett have
already indicated this trend.

Bernard Shaw is, of course the core of the journal;
thus special issues from time .to time will feature part-
icular aspects of his work. The present one (September,
1959) focusses upon the largely neglected and little-
