"ARMS AND THE MAN."
REPERTORY THEATRE SOCIETY'S NEXT PRODUCTION. Of all modern comedies, Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man" is easily the most remarkable for holding its freshness. Far from being killed by the Great War, it survived with greater interest than ever; for if the satire now seems less perverse in audacity than when it first shocked and amused London, it has gained enormously in effective ness. Everything else written about war for the pre-war stage ie now quite unpresentable. Shaw s comedy is now even more triumphantly successful than ever; and the Canterbury Repertory Theatre Society has done well to choose it. The dates of the production in the Radiant Hall are Saturday, November 29th and December Ist and 2nd. Plans onen at The Bristol on the 27th.
