INVITED TO GIVE ADDRESS BUT BATHES INSTEAD DIVING EXHIBITION LONDON, Saturday. The versatility and virility of Mr. Bernard Shaw, the well-known author, were demonstrated at the Independent Labour Party’s summer school at Malvern Link, Worcestershire. By an oversight, the invitation to Mr. Shaw to address the delegates was overlooked. In response to a lastminute request by telephone, Mr. Shaw arrived from London. Officials asked the author the nature of his address, whereupon he replied that he would not speak, but would not mind a bathe. Then he borrowed a bathing costume, and to the unbounded delight of a crowd of spectators, proceeded to give an exhibition of diving, life-saving, and floating. Having another engagement, Mr. Shaw declined an invitation to luncheon. hurriedly dressed, and departed.
