...Shaw preaching the gospel of labor from soap boxes. Sydney Webb and Henderson are, with McDonald the leaders of the Party. Yet, these two never worked up through the ranks of labor but reached their conclusions and convictions as a result of thought.

Oh, yes- it was written by Guy Bolton-and it's a nice, clean play...
