Shaw's plays are studies in conciseness language, and manners. In all three of these he succeeded. Laurier Lister, director of this production, felt, however, that this was not enough, and included some extra-Shavian additions. These, unfortunately, did not come off well. It might, of course, be argued that the gods were against the players. For the first of these flairs was that of a 1928 London taxi (presumably the only one in the U. S. today).
