B00]: Notes
John Galsworthy’s play, "The For-
est," one of the current London pro-
ductions. has just been brought out
in book form by Charis Scribner's
Sons. It has been described as a
“hitterlv satirical attack on British
lmpari ism in darkest Africa at the
time of the Boer war." An unusual
feature of the play is its division in-
to two parts with tvro groups of
characters. the first and fourth acts
being set in the oflice of a. London
financier. while the second and
third acts are concerned with the
human. lives which he is juggling in
the African forest. As in George
Bernard Shaw's "St. Joan.” there is
only one woman in the cast.
I O O ..
Liam O'Flaherty is a. very unpop-
ular person around the ‘Arsm Is-
lands just now. The islands have so
meagre a population that everyone,
is intimately acquainted with every-
one else. and the recognition of
their own and their Jellow islanders'
portraits in THY NEIGHBORS
WIFE (Real 8-. Liveright) is creat-
ing quite a furore. Though the
characters are not eactly drawn
from life. a number of them have
certain of the inhabitants.
