HOW TO WRITE A
FAILURE

There have been so many rules given for
writing successful plays that perhaps the
public would be interested in knowing how
to obtain n failure. Here are the rules for
calamity, vouched for by Fred Nlblo, star
OF George M Cohan's "Hit-the-Trau Holt
day" company, as the correct lines to follow
to write Olivier"
HOW TO WRITE A FAILURE
Select n subject that your audience will
understand and appreciate
Get your atmosphere from direct assoc
citation.
Take your characters from life, trans
plant into your play. and see that they
receive plenty of dramatic rain and sun
shine In order that they may continue to
grow.
Write your play along the best-known
and up-to-date lines of dramatic construc-
ton.
Direct your best efforts to appeal TO the
emotions OF your audience, and make your
characters act as the majority OF your audi
ence think they would act under the exist
ing conditions
THEN
Take your play to a manager and sign n
contract giving hun the right 10 use your
material as he thinks best,
Let him engage actors totally unsultCd
