II repeat that 1 do not know why
the play has been declared unfit to
exist. 1t is a very simple and even
crude melodrama, with absolutely no
sexual interest whatever. 1t represents
a little community of violent, cruel
sensual, ignorant, blasphemous, blood
thirsty backswoodsmen, whose concep-
ton of manliness is mere brute pug
nacity and whose favorite sport is
lynching. Into this welter of crude
newspaperiZed savagery there sudden
ly comes a force-not mentioned in
The Merry Widow'-to which they
give the name of God, the slightest
regard for which they make it point
of honor to despise as mere weakness
of character. That force, nevertheless,
at the crisis which is the subject of
the drama makes them do its will, and
not their own, in a manner very amaz-
ing to themselves, and, l should hope,
not altogether unedifying to the spec
tators.

SOME SAVAGE DoNTs
FOR A PLAY NOVICE

In reply to an embryo playwright,
whose third manuscript he had just re-
ceived, Henry w Savage sent the fol-
lowing list of "don'ts," which might be
digested with profit by many a drama
tist whose arrival is already mat
ter of ancient history:
Don't write about smugglers, pirates
or bandits.
Write a clean love story-the kind
that, when you were boy, made you
curl up in a corner and continue read
ing while the folks went to dinner
write something new, even if you
never saw it~on the stage before. 1t
might go.
Don't select as subject any current
news topic.
Don't attempt to write about any
thing with which you are not familiar.
MAKE your characters natural To
be so. they must do only what men and
women do in real life, and not what the
story book says they do.
Make your characters speak good
English.
Don't use stilted words.
Don't say, 4 have found the papers
with the old mans will socreted,' etc.
Don't give the villain whiskers nor
make the hero clean shaven. Try 1t
the other way for a change.
Don't make your hero black sheep
returning from Goldtield with the
wealth of a Havemeyer; make him a
smart chan disinherited for marrying a
chorus girl.
"Don't make the injured husband
seize the heroine by the wrist and fling
the lady from him with curse on his
lips.
Don't preach. The public can secure
free seats in a church.
Don't forget the public reads news
papers and has real human intelligence.
Don't use soliloquies. Monologues
are for vaudeville and minstrel shows
Don't put too much in your play.
Don't have one scene on an island,
another at Herald square and third in
Chicago
Don't begin the first act in a cheer
less garret in the winter of 1866 and
then jump to the summer of 1909. Those
forty-three years contain enough ma
terial for a thousand good plays.
MAKE the action of your play take
place all in one day if possible.
Don't think all managers are vam-
pires. Brains are a common article. A
dozen people may have thought your
thought before you thought 1t.
Don't expect a manager to produce
your play this season. The Merry
Widow was in my office nearly
eighteen months.
Don't submit your first manuscript
until you have written second one.
Then go back and rewrite the first.
Before submitting manuscript go
out behind the barn and read 1t aloud;
then ask yourself If you would pay 81
for a seat in the first row to see it
acted"
