Eugene Walter, the playwright, whose
fine dramatic conceptions, "The Eas-
lest Way" and paid in Full" brought
fame and fortune as it were in night,
finds that the dramatization CT novel
is as hard or harder, than writing an
original play. In fact, Mr.. Walter ad-
mits that the making of play from a
book is not satisfactory to a man of
creative and original power, he is re-
stricted in his work which is more a
matter of knowing what not to do than
of knowing what to do, for that which
you know what to do comes natural,
being in you and according to Mr..
Walter, a sort of instinct that is felt
but cannot be defined
To an intimate friend, MIR. Walter
confided the secret of how he came to
dramatic John Fox, Jr's. widely read
novel, 1.-The Trail of the Lonesome
Pine" He took a fancy to the charac-
ter of June and conceived the great
possibilities that lay in the character
of this primitive girl. 1t was sort of
play that he liked, and, being clean
beautiful and permeated with whole
some sentiment, he felt it was such a
play which he could carry to the Peo-
pie of the Southland. So, he realized
that there was a possibility that Mr.
Fox's delightful story could be trans
ferred to the stage.
MIR. Walter, taking his secretary and
couple of copies of Mr. Fox's book,
went into the wilderness of the Cum
berland mountains. Here he met the
people,-the wild mountain folk; he
traversed the mountain trails; he fish
er in the mountain brooks; he was
looked upon with suspicion as a gov
eminent watchdog seeming out Illicit
stills but in spite of all obstacles,
Walter admits that he found the peo-
pie delightful and that their real
characteristics; their fearless honesty,
primitiveness and clannish hate were
simply concomitant with the spirit
that created the everlasting hills. He
realized that alone in the mountains
in the primeval forest, in the cabin of
the mountaineers and up on the ridge
of Lonesome Gap, beneath the lone
some pine he was in the presence at
all times of lifes most joyous secrets
"a faith which these people possess
in the good of everything, and an
adherence of everything that is
sham.
For six weeks Mr.. Walter fished
through the mountains by day, and at
night lay on pine boughs trying to
fathom the story of Junes love and to
secure a dramatic foothold to start his
story in which there could be clearly
outlined real motif to carry the ac-
ton of the play. Nine weeks passed.
He was getting insistent letters from
New York, brought by the mountain
mail carrier, asking how the play was
progressing, but he had not started a
single line. The letters became mon
otonous and annoying, but he pursued
the even tenor of his way, waiting for
that psychological moment which
comes to poets and to painters alike
after the mind has clearly defined the

translation of the intuitive thought, in
concrete form. Suddenly one morning
while he was dallying over his corn
pone and mountain coffee, the long
wished for thought came to him, and
looking over at his detected secretary
who also had been nagging him, he
struck the table and said, Come on,
young man, I'm ready for you now,
you've had nine weeks of ease which
you do not seem to have enjoyed. l will
now give you nine hours of the hard
est work that you ever had" The sec
rotary set his typewriting machine in
the doorway of the tent, while Walter
walking to and fro on carpet of
pine needles began the dictation of
the play. For hours he kept up a
steady flow of dictation and managed
that day to get through the first and
second acts and the beginning of the
third. The following days he spent
revising the dictation, sent it on to
New York, and started on a second
spell of rest and relaxation.
Mr.. Walter realized as the play
grew upon him that the real cause OF
the feud was June's love for the en-
gineer, who was classed by the noun
taineers in Mr.. Fox's story as fur
riner" Walter realized more than
anyone else the mountain folk were
afraid of the well-dressed, smooth tom
gued people who came from the out
side world prying into their affairs
and he felt it was only natural that
the feudists should attribute a wrong
motive to Hale's love for June and the
interest he had taken in her having her
sent to school to be educated.
So for three weeks longer he slept
on his bed of pine boughs by night and
reveled in the delights of the noun
ta!ns by day. He was there to finish a
task and finish he intended before he
left the environment of the hills. And
so for several days the song of the
typewriter was all that was heard at
the top of Lonesome Cove and the
mountain folk who had never seen a
'contraphshun" that spelled and wrote
words before, looked on in amazement
at the perspiring secretary and author.
the one hammering on the keys like a
virtuoso on a piano, the other spout
ing out long sentences, then when it
was all finished, Mr. Walter permitted
the secretary to take the manuscript
and the machine on to New York,
while he went further into the hills to
rest after the task.
q returned to New York." Mr.
Walter told his friend "and arranged
for the production. Everyone told me
they were delighted with the play, but
it is my last dramatization of a
book"
