George Bernard Shaw inay "believe that "the play's the thing," but he finds time to look after his actors, and to look after them quit thoroughly. In London he. direct the productions of his plays, and very often he selects his own casts. Sometimes be even builds a character with' a certain actor in mind. That was the case with "Major Barbara," the latest of his play to be produced in this country. The very important role of TJnder shaft, manufacturer of war munitions, grew around the portly figure of Louis Calvert, who had created several im portant parts in other Shaw plays, and stlU remained friends with the author. Mr. Calvert "played Undershaf t in the London production of , "Major Barbara." and last faU came over to appear In Grace George's production at the play house, where BhaWs Vork Is still pros pering.
