~Back To Methutelsh.'
The Theatre Guild in New York has made a breathtaking decision, as t result of which they will set on the stage in the near futus every word of the five plays that fill the so-called cycle of Bernard Shaw's "Back to Methuselah." The fint two- In the Beginning" and "The Gospel of the Brothers Barns bas"—will be acted at the Garrick Theatre in New York through the week of February 20: the text pair The Thing Happens" and "The Tragedy of an Elderly Gentle- man-will be played through the week of March 6. Thereafter, through Bother three week-March 13,26,27 snd in the same succession, the Guild will run again through the series. Hitherto, "Back to Methuselah" has been apacted and counted unactable. The Theatre Guild which is under- taking this production with the bless ing of Mr. Shaw, is a group of highly trained professional people,actors, pro- ducers, artists, and executives, which in the two years and a half of its existence has produced some of the outstanding dramaticeuccesses in New York.
