...Shrove Tuesday in New Orleans. Early on this Mardi Gras morning, before the white folks' Rex comes in splendor to Canal Street, the Negroes are having their own carnival. Up squalid New Basin glides a barge, canopied in sacking, to the wharf at Rampart Street and Howard Avenue. Off the barge strides the King of the Zulus, right royal in black underwear, a hula skirt of sea grass, a tin crown. His sceptre is a broomstick, topped by a snow-white rooster. Preceding him is his Queen, behind are his capering dukes. The King mounts his throne-a decrepit...

...arts, devoid of much practical application. But long ago colleges realized each subject can grow only in its own medium, that to write drama for an English composition course--and yet keep it divorced from the stage--is like reading chemistry without carrying on laboratory experiments. Playwrights like Sidney Howard, Eugene O'Neill and Philip Barry thrived under Professor Baker because the workshop tested their lines through informal productions and moulded them into shape; the designers and artists translated their sets and costumes from empty drawings to reality.

...Copley this week Boston's indefatigable stock company has given us s chance to see the play just as Shaw wrote it, stripped of the glitter of Leslie Howard's virtuoso film performance. The result is an interesting commentary on the claim Shaw makes of being a great playwright. While the main elements of the plot will always be good theatre, there is more than an indication that the social satire he weaves into his plays will have to be freely adapted for every succeeding decade.
