Description of the Archibald Henderson Collection of George Bernard Shaw
Archibald Henderson’s George Bernard Shaw: His Life and Works
When Mrs. Saslav and I arrived in Chapel Hill to perform in 2007 the staff of the Rare Book Collection of the Wilson Library of the University of North Carolina were very welcoming. They knew of my interest in Shaw and had laid out a display for us of several rare items in the Henderson collection. Then they took us down into the vaults and showed us other interesting items. I was asked to pull open a lower drawer in a metal case. There they said are the 75 Henderson scrapbooks on Shaw. When I asked to inspect something in particular they told me that that was not possible. No one knew what was in those scrapbooks because they had never been catalogued!
Impossible, I said to myself. Such a treasure trove of Shaviana completely unknown to the scholarly world. I said to them all, “I will do it. I will catalog this collection.” and since 2007 I have been traveling periodically to North Carolina to accomplish this task. Besides describing the individual items in the scrapbooks I have to check out the catalog and reprint status of each item against a couple dozen standard Shaw reference books. The results of these searches are also included in my catalog.– Isidor Saslav

The play was adapted from a German translation by a certain Dr. Mori. Noguchi explains how foreign plays have to be slipped in to avoid censure from the militaristic Japanese government. Such plays can say things that Japanese are not allowed to. Noguchi admits that imported plays such as Ibsen’s John Gabriel Borkman and Shaw’s Blanco Posnet Are not their respective authors’ better-known plays but that these could be better acted by Japanese actors.] Similar pasting in format to #52 above.

Described as “an entirely new kind of book.” As to criticism “{Henderson} has been his own earnest, simple, superficial, conventional, commonplace, and thoroughly self-satisfied self.” Henderson is the typical journalist type to the highest degree, of whom Shaw has been poking fun at all these years. The critic finds ludicrous Henderson’s tying the death of Heine to the birth of Shaw in the same year, 1856. Henderson’s “occasional attempts to assert a mental independence are pitiful enough to melt a heart of stone.” Nevertheless the book collects a mountain of facts which may someday be used as the basis of a real biography of Shaw. The critic does praise Henderson for collecting much material about Shaw’s early life. Nevertheless he prefers Chesterton’s book to Henderson’s.

Shaw describes his old plays as making the audience laugh so much in the first two acts they became exhausted and couldn’t laugh any more and arose from their seats at the end of the play having suffered. Then they felt they had gotten their moneysworth! Shaw admits to following Ibsen’s lead in the Doll’s House by putting the discussion at the end in JBOI and MB. But then he put it at the beginning as in the DDil. Finally he spread it out over the whole play {My comment: as in GM. But Shaw’s speech puts GM in the class of plays with the DDil.} Only a subsidized national theater could be a proper home for this kind of play.] Newspaper article, pasted in as 2 full length columns.
