SHIPMAN TALKS ABOUT WRITING

We have been asked time and
again" says Samuel Shipman. CO.
author of The Woman in Room
13," which will be seen at Polls
Theater next week. under the di-
rection of A. H. Woods. how. in
association with my collaborators,
have managed TO strike of such
bits as The Woman in Room 1s' and
Friendly Enemies Let me attempt
TO give you my recipe for a popular
hit.
The nrst requisite for writing a
popular success is to master drama
turgy. Dramatic technique is very
difficult. very subtle, very elusive; /;
it takes years of experience and ex-
perimenting to master the princi-
pies OF il. Ask any hodcarrier
whether he is about to write a play
and he will invariably tell you he is
about to finish one. Everybody is
writing plays, but nobody seems to
think that playwriting is as diffi-
cult an art as painting. Any man
with an idea sits down to cast IL in
dramatic form. but no one with an
idea for painting. unless he has
given years OF work to the art OF
painting. would dare attempt to
project il on canvas. Yet the aver
age man who quarrels with his wife
at once proceeds to write a play
about IL, never having seen as much
as a theater dressing room. My
advice, therefore to those ambitious
to write for the theater, is to make
up their minds that they must mas
ter the elements Of bodybuilding
before they waste their time.
Having mastered dramaturgy, get
an idea-a novel one. Old shoes do
not sell. nor old ideas To write a
popular play. choose an idea that is
not only novel. but acceptable.
The idea must contain q truth ac-
ceptable to the masses The under
lying idea Of The Woman In Room
Thirteen" is that, IL husband pays
too much attention to other women,
sooner or later some man will steal
his own wife. Here is an idea that
is acceptable; the masses agree with
It On the other hand, there are
ideas that are acceptable only to ad-
vanced thinkers - the chosen few.
These are for dramas intended for
posterity. Don't choose those II you
wish to write q popular success
which means writing for the present
and for the average intelligence
