THE HOLE OP CRITIC
LONDON. Feb. X Mob Fitzsimmona
has made his debut as n London dra
matic critic. The pugilist witnessed Ber
nnrd Shaw's new play "The Admirable
Pashville," the hero of which, like
Cashel Byron, is a pugilist. There were
severnl boxing bouts in the play and
Fitr.siminnns discovered that the actors
knew little of boxing.
"They're loo soft," he said. "They
ought to slam each other harder. They
burlesque the art of boxing. They ooght
t,. smash with the open hand. That
would make a noise and eonrmoo the
audience that a real fight was going
""One thing amused mo. One of the
a-tors said: "Now 111 give you an up-p.-reut.'
Then he swung his right hand
across and delivered anything but an
npporrnt.
"I enjoyed the whole performance,
though, because, although it is a bur
lesque, T can thoroughly appreciate the
beauty and seriousness of some of the
lines Shaw gives his characters."
