NEW YORK. Julyy 31.—Thcrc
seems little left that is sacred in
the hands of our twentieth century
iconoclasts. George Bernard Shaw
writes a lengthy play and preface on
The Maid of Orleans calls it "Saint
Joan." and then with a. prologue
ridicules it. and now St. John l-Irvins
has written a. sequel to Shake-
speare's "Merchant of Venice."
showing what. happens when the
young bloods of this Italian ro-
ninncc become fat and forty. and
calls it "The Lady of Belmont"

‘ In “The Lady of Belmont." Bus—
sanio has developed into a mean
spirited profligatc. wearied of Por-
tia and casting amorous eyes at the
pretty Jessica. Antonio. now a
querelous bachelor. lives on the
glory of a departed day when a cer-
tain Shylock sought to take his life
in the public courts. and continually
reminds Bassanio and others of the
risk he ran for friendship's sake.
Shylock, who by the terms of An-
tonio's making, became a, Christian.
is now a. man of parts. wealthy. re-
spected, and safe in the streets of
Venice. Surely it satire consists of
{uprooting all the things which con-
vention have made sacred. then St.
John Ervlne is a. satirist. of the ilrst
water and a. worthy contemporary
of Shaw.
It will be interesting in the future
to note what effect "The Lady of
Belmont” will have on the produc-
tions of "The Merchant." How
much of the pathos of the court-
broken and pitiful figure of a man.
will be lost when one remembers
that in a few years he will have be-
come a. protege of the Duke. and
living with all the material com-
forts surrounded by his daughter
and grandchildren. scant sympathy
will be wasted on Basaanio. and An-
tonio. Surely though. if the old
idols must go. one can hardly com-
plain if they are replaced by better
and much brighter ones.

Day After Gregory
Trial Opened
NEW YORK. July 31.—-Cnder a !
biltercross-cxamination conducted
by “'tiliam J. Fallon, criminal law-
yer, who is charged with having brib
ed him, Charles \V. Rendigs, the
Government‘s star witness. declared
that Fallon had never seen. or spok-
en to him after the DurrelI-Gregory
trial in the Federal court in which
licndlgs was a juror. had never told
him to commit perjury and had new.
or suggested that he commit per-
Jury.
The cross-examination of the wit-
ness was frequently interrupted by
objections by Assistant United States.
District Attorney William J. Millard
and tilts with Judge George W“
McClintic of \Vest Virginia. before
whom Fallon is on trial on the Unit-
ed States District Court.
Fallon was in a lighting mood.
more so than he has been at any
time since his trial began.
Question Overruled.
"Did you deliberately and design-
cdly commit perjury '2" inquired Fal-
ion.
This was overruled.
liendigs was asked whether ht
talked with anybody else during the
l-‘uller trial and said he had not.
Rendigs was the first witness call—
ed when the trial was resumed be-
lore Judge McClintic and a. jury yes-
terday. Under the questioning of
Assistant United States Attorney
Millard he had told of receiving a
telephone call from Fallon on Oo—
tober 6, 1922, the day after the
Durrcll—Gregory trial started and.
the attorney asked him to meet him
at the Woodmansten Inn. in Wil-
liamsbrldge road. the Bronx. that
night at 8 o'clock.
. The witness said he met Fallon u

uttcrward saying: "there'll be more
money in this case, and whatever I
get I'll divide with you. I will get
in touch jvith you from time to
time."
Fallon's cross-examination of Ben
digs was conducted with a display of
the vigor and fluency of tongue that
have been characteristic of him in
so many cases in the Federal courts
when lie represented defendants
other than himself.
The spectators frequently could
not refrain tram audible comments
as he clashed in a. battle of words
with the prosecuting atorncy of the
court.
