Krutch, Joseph Wood | March 19, 1930 issue

A few years ago critics were commenting with glee upon the conversion of Bernard Shaw. His "Saint Joan" not only moved forward in a fashion more conventionally theatrical than it was his wont to permit, but for once the feeling was so much more important than the thought that the play was hailed as the first work in a new manner, and England's oldest bad boy was said to have seen the error of his dramaturgical ways. Once more, however, the critics have been confounded, for "The Apple Cart" reveals only an impenitent Shaw, who is writing as he always wrote, and who has learned nothing except how to be more unreservedly himself.
