Shakespeare Is Dull, That's Why I

MR. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW has been saying
rude things about Shakespeare's plays for so long that it set many people wondering what had hap- pened when they heard that he was producing "Cymbeline."
Amoeba

THE loveliest new heroine of the screen
is Miss Amoeba.
Found in humble surround- ings-a duck pond-she was taken to a clean laboratory tank. There she exhibited extra- ordinary

Amoeba is a form of pond life, nad only one of a hundred new "stars" found by the professor for his Alms.

They thought that perhaps Mr. Shaw had grown mellow and was at last prepared to admit the sovereignty of the greatest writer of blank verse in the English language,

Mr. Shaw thinks he can improve Shakespeare. He told me so when I asked him if he was pleased with the notice of his "new play."
"What new play?"

Mr. Hewer said.
The difficulty is that - though the! Alms were made for schools and students, the committee found there are about 300 projectors in schools and in universities here.
Germany has 19,000 France 9,000. The L.C.C. has three. There are heavy foreign orders already coming through for the new films.

CRAB "VILLAINS'
As they grow, they beat and strive in the water, throw out curling tentacles and the instructor's voice points out the gradual significance of these changes in form.
Many ol thene changes take place over weeks, and the photo- graphers hung around the tanks, taking a shot at a time.
They have been pieced together and speeded up. At the bottom of the tank stariish, rock spiders and crabs crawf about like the villains of the plece. -

Now, burlesque. Tell me honestly Mr. Shaw, didn't you write it withi your tongue in your cheek?"
"I never write anything with my tongue in my cheek,"
Mr. Shaw, in fact, seemed put out that any one should think his very blank verse should not be taken seriously,
It's a pity Shakespeare cannot give his opinion of Mr. Shaw's efforts. Hut then, perhaps, he might be rude, too.
