UNION CLUB MEETING 
MEMBERS OF MANCHESTER WOMAN'S 
CLUB AND ARBELLA CLUB HEAR 
““PyGMALION.” 
An audience composed of members 
of both the Manchester Woman’s 
club and the Arbella club more than 
half filled Town hall, Manchester, on 
Tuesday afternoon when Mrs. Chris- 
tobel Kidder, Boston, gave a reading 
of Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion.” Ow- 
ing to the length of the play, which 
is in five acts, routine business was 
dispensed with. Mrs. E. S. Knight 
president of the Woman’s club, intro- 
duced Mrs. Kidder, whose reading 
was keenly enjoyed. 
Never having seen or heard of 
“Pygmalion” one would know the 
author because of the characteristic 
lines of the play. It is written in the 
satirical vein of which Shaw is mas- 
ter. Shaw has Professor Higgins, a 
cynical bachelor, take under his tute- 
lage a flower girl from the streets of 
London. Higgins teaches the girl, 
who speaks the so-called “Cockney,” 
to correctly enunciate her words and 
to carry herself “in the manner of a 
duchess.” He does this on a wager 
with his friend, Colonel Pickering, 
another student of “phonetics,” and 
succeeds in passing off the girl as a 
real duchess at a dinner party within 
six months. The bet won, he appar- 
ently loses interest in his experiment, 
and being, as he believes, a confirmed | 
woman hater he continues to treat his 
“duchess”? as a common flower girl. — 
When she leaves him he comes to 
realize that she has been filling a place 
in his life that he did not realize be- 
fore. He refuses to admit that the 
experiment has been an injustice to 
the girl, who has been converted from 
the manners of the street to a higher 
degree of breeding without sufficient 
income to live in the manner she has 
grown into. A legacy which falls to 
her father solves that part of the 
difficulty, however, and Higgins 
proves that, after all, he is human. 
Mrs. Kidder in her reading brought 
out the individual characters of the 
play with real dramatic skill and 
drove home effectively the thought 
which the author was trying to con- 
vey. Her interpretation of the part 
of the flower girl, her development in 
manner and dialect was realistic. The 
variety of voice shading which she 
brought into use in the play was in 
itself a proof of the author’s conten- 
tion that in the spoken word was re- 
vealed the soul of the speaker, for it 
clearly revealed the character of each 
individual she portrayed.
