SHAW, George Bernard (1856-1950). Autograph letter signed to an unidentified correspondent ('Dear David'), 4 Whitehall Court, 25 April 1932, enclosing a photograph [not present] with an inscription to Block 'in prismatic scarlet', and asking him to enquire about the possibility of a play, not yet published, being translated and performed 'in a real Communist theatre' in Russia, and mentioning Lunacharsky, signed 'frapaternally (pardon my years) G. Bernard Shaw', one page, 8°.
Evidently addressed to a young man, the card is probably to David Astor, then aged 20, who had accompanied Shaw and Lord and Lady Astor on their visit to Moscow in July 1931. The play, first performed at Malvern in July 1932, was Too True to be Good. Anatoly Lunacharsky, the Soviet Commissar for the Fine Arts, had acted as host to Shaw and his friends in Moscow.
