Cole of California's "Venus" is a wrapped-to-the-figure white drape. "It's putty in your hands," says Cole, "but on your figure it sculpts you as Pygmalion sculptured Galatea...
...beard, saying, 'Go up, my Irish son, and show, Shaw, what my Theatre should be, can be, for you're the one to do it.' And the great man went up to do what he had been bidden to do, making once more the Theatre a fit place for man and God to go to, to laugh, and to think out life as life was lived...
