MR. SHAW'S PUGILISM,

"CASHEL BYRON" PRO- DUCED IN VIENNA.

The Deutsches Volkstheater in Vienna has produced Mr. Bernard Shaw's burlesque, The Admirable | Bashville the drainatisation, of his | novel, Cashel Byron's Profession), in the clever translation of Sieg- fried Trebitsch, for the first time of any German stage. The play was partly performed in very realistic fashion in particular, the big scene of the match, thoroughly prepared by professionals, showed a verit- able fight, with all the details.of the business.

Mr. Shaw does not like the English, he says: "however, he has some subterranean connection with their customs."
