London Comment
By VICTOR M. BIENSTOCK
Won/Tight. 1130 J. T. A.)
EPSTEIN AND HIS CRITICS
Even the thickest skin can be
pierced by ridicule despite years of
toughening up. Ask Jacob Epstein,
the sculptor. I can't think of any-
one in recent years who has had to
"take it" to the extent this taci-
turn grim-visaged artist has in re-
cent years. What with "Genesis "
"Rema," "Ecce Homo" and his
other controversial works, he's had
to stand for a lot. But he showed
last week that even his endurance
has a limit.
The week began with a remark,
in passing, by Sir Herbert Samuel,
that it would be an act of kindness
if creepers were allowed to grow
over "Rema," now standing in one
of London's parks. Epstein re-
torted with a comment on Sir Her-
bert's mental stature and qualifi-
cations as a critic. And then, the
biggest surprise of all; Epstein
haled into court a news photograph
agency that had distributed a
photograph showing a derby hat
ensconced on the noble reaches of
the brow of Epstein's bronze of

representatives. The building, since

"Stop Press," now delighting Lon-
don audiences. One skit shows the
Epstein studio with the artist chis-
eling, hammering, kicking and bit-
ing away at an amorphous mass.
G. B. Shaw, the bearded vegetar-
ian and star of the news-reels,
walks in and inspects a monstros-
ity in one corner of the studio.
"What will this be when •it's
finished?" he asks Epstein.
"That," replies the artist with a
suspicious scowl," is finished."
In the course of the pair's arid
discussions of critics in general,
Mr. Shaw ("Uncle George" of the
children's radio hour) advises Mr.
Epstein that the pigeons have been
the severest critics of his "Rema."
The fuss, however, over "Ecce
Homo," the most' recent Epsteinian
cause of furor, has more or less
died down now, being confined to
the Fascist papers which point to
it as a Jew's brazen insult to
Christianity, and to the .ranks of
insignificant clerics in the prov-
inces.
UNCLE GEORGE AND HITLER
And Mr. Shaw, who more than
anything else, detests the absence
of the spotlight, going to any
lengths to keep it directed towards
himself, has assumed the role of the
only Englishman not disturbed by
the warlike gestures of Nazi Ger-
many.
The German announcement of
universal conscription profoundly
shocked England as it hadn't been
in a decade, to the danger of a,
new war hovering over the British
Isles. The militarization of Ger-
many as a threat to England's
safety, was forcefully brought home
to all Englishmen by the Hitler-
Goering-Goebbels pronunciamento.
But not George. You can still go
to the cinema and hear him in a
news-reel interview explain this
away as just another move for the
best in this best of all possible
worlds.
Is it because G. B. S. and Hitler
are both vegetarians?
