Over in England, on his 40th visit to Mr. Bernard Shaw, is Professor ed Trebitsch, It is 45 years since he first came to discuss vith the then comparatively unknown Irish dramatist the translating of his work into German. Beginning with "The Devils Disciple," he has translated all the plays. Only the last war, when Trebitsch served as on Austrian cavalry officer, interrupted the annual visits.
The present war will not prevent the two from meeting, for the 70- ear-old native of Vienna is now a ranchman. When the Nazis seized his home he fled to Czechoslovakia then later to France, where a few months ago the Government granted him naturalization in recognition of his services to French literature. He has translated French poetry into German, probably an even more difficult feat than giving Shavian wit a Teutonic rendering.
