The weirdest of many weird things on exhibition of the works o£ Sava Botzaris, the Serbo-Greck sculptor, is one representing Mr. Bernard Shaw.
"Shaw in plus fours or astride a charger is unthinkable. Ho wants a symbol, so I made him a totem pole," said Botzaris. The result is something akin to a pillar of a Maori hut, surmounted by carefully-parted hair, beetling eyebrows, and a few wisps of whiskers. A wag suggests that at first glance it looks like Lot's wife.
Bernard Sha'.v suspends judgment till' he has seen the caricature. "I think the totem pole a'good idea, because I appear to be a totem to a good many people. I only hope that Batzaris made it tolerably good," he said.
