George Bernard Shaw Had Other Women, Letters Revea
I
New York. N.Y. - IUP1I -Newly
disclosed letters which
have revealed George Bernard
Shaw had another woman in
his life - a pretty American
actress - also show him spry
enough at the age of 90 to
threaten to shoot her if she
kept a promise to come live
with him.
In fact the hitherto secret
letters which the late play
wright wrote to actress and
painter Molly Tompkins of
Atlanta, Ga. - whom he some
times referred to aa "Molli
kins" - show him struggling
in old age to keep a number
of women admirers at bay.
Details of the intense friend
ship with Mrs. Tompkins, 45
years his junior, and other
facets of his private life were
revealed in more than 125
letters Shaw wrote to the
actress from the time they
met in Europe in 1921 to 1949,
a year before his death.
Valued at about $25,000 in
the original, the letters have
been published in full by New
York publisher Clarkson Pot
ter in a volume entitled "To a
Young Actress."
Compiled by Son
They were compiled by the
actress' son, Peter Tompkins,
a Washington, DC, author
whom Shaw helped send
through school when the
mother and her sculptor hus
band Lawrence fell on hard
times.
They arc spiced throughout
with the type of bitter-sweet
comments on love, sex and
politics that made Shaw an
immortal in his time. Soma
of the language appeared in
his plays, but much of it is
entirely fresh.
The great G.B.S. was an
outspoken advocate of free
love in his plays. But in his
letters he described himself
in the last years of his life as
hounded by marriage offers
and outright propositions from
women admirers. All of .them
he either shunned, or as In
Mrs. Tompkins' case, kept on
a platonic basis for the sake
of his wife, Charlotte.
Mrs. Tompkins died earlier
this year, 10 years after Shaw.
"Before you were born I
have had to do with sirens as
seductive as you," Shaw wrote
to the actress. "What sort of
creature do you suppose I
should be if I had done noth
ing but exploit my celebrated
fascination all my life?"
Offered Advice
. His relations with her show
ed traces of his "Pygmalion"
the Shaw play on which the
musical hit "My Fair Lady"
was based. In the early cor
respondence particularly, he
offered stern advice on how
to perfect her stage technique,
get along with directors and
get rid of "Americanisms" -including
"that awful accent."
"You are a disgrace to me,"
he told her in language that
smacked of Professor Henry
Higgins scolding the cockney
flower girl Eliza Doolittle.
"Can't you muster up enough
dignity to feel that you must
not on any provocation what
ever say things that are meant
to be offensive and humili
ating?" Mrs. Tompkins' letters to
the playwright were lost,
leaving no firm Indication to
what his sometimes biting,
sometimes humorous, often
touching replies were di
rected. But on Oct. 30, 1945, when
he was 90, he wrote:
"I have just received your
letter with its proposal to
come across the ocean to live
with me. The same idea has
occurred to other women. Put
it out of your inconsiderate
head, once and forever, as
they have had to. No woman
shall ever live with me again
in that sense . . . the scandal
in the village, the degradation
to literature, the insult to
Charlotte's memory would be
such that I would be justified
in shooting you if there is no
other way of preventing you
from crashing my gates."
Making Young Friends
But earlier, and in a tender
er mood, he had told her:
"Love me as long as you can,
but make young friends."
I Other choice Shavian comments:
Wall Street Chatter
New York - IUPD - The odds
have swung strongly in favor
of a rising stock market
throughout most of 1961, ac
cording to Clark, Dodge &
Co.
Technical and credit factors
point clearly in this direction,
it says, and should be joined
by improving business before
the new year has lasted very
long. In fact, business may
start its upturn late in t h e
first quarter.
Roger E. Spear, president
of Spear & Staff, Inc., pre
dicts that 1961's low for the
Dow-Jones industrial average
will be in the 570-600 area
and will occur in the first
quarter. The high, he says,
may be 670-700 in the third
quarter.
Standard & Poor's lists the
following as candidates for
dividend increases: Central Il
linois Public Service, Com
mercial Credit, Glens Falls
Insurance, Long Island Light
ing, McGraw-Hill, Montana
Dakota Utilities, Pacific Gas
& Electric, Potomac Electric
Power, Revlon, and Southern
Co. It says that Interstate De
partment Stores may split the
stock. ,
Thomson & McKinnon lists
six aerospace stocks having
outstanding merit as growth
equities and "down-to-earth"
values: Boeing, Grumai), Mar
tin, McDonnell, Northrop and
United Aircraft. -
Son-in-law of Ashland
Couple in Television
Ashland - Don Mowat, son-in-law
of Mr. and Mrs. D. A.
Peterson, 750 South Walker
ave., Ashland, is appearing as
the prosecuting attorney in
the television series, "The
Verdict Is Yours." He also
plays a similar role in the
TV serial "A Day in Court."
The Los Angeles attorney
who lives in Canoga Park,
Calif., with his wife, Norma,
and 18-year-old daughter, Ali
cia, is a frequent valley vis
itor. Mrs. Mowat grew up in
Ashland where she attended
the public schools in the late
'20s and early '30s.
A clever young woman has
to choose between stupid and
vigorous young men and
clever and-shall I say goatish
old ones."
On love
"It does not last because it
does not belong to this earth;
and when you clasp the idol
it turns out to be a rag doll
like yourself."
On life
"Learning to live is like
learning to skate; you begin
by making a ridiculous spec
tacle of yourself."
On mankind
"The fear of God may be
the beginning of wisdom, but
the fear of man is the begin
ning of murder."
On himself
"Saint Joan is finished (ex
cept for the polishing): A
magnificent play ... I am
certainly a wonderful man."
