New-York tribune., 1920-09-26

Selwyn g. Go. with tho nonchalanc.
assumed by capitalists and placed thu
$4,000 before Mr.. Selwyn's eyes.
So Edgar Selwyn, to satisfy his sense
of poetry, betook himself to the Orient
on the money for which he had sole
Crosby Gaige half of his interest ir
the firm. There he imbibed the at.
mosphere for his play, "The Arab,
which he afterward wrote and in which
he personally appeared with notable
success. Doubtless he would have
been dreaming the dreams Of the East
until this day had he not been urged
by his brother Archie and Mr.. Gaige to
come home. They had gotten hold OF
the manuscript Of within the Law,
and they were so enthusiastic over Il
that they couldn't keep still.
When the last chapter was closed In
the history Of that play, and Edgar
Selwyn saw half of the money that
might have been his share Of the
profits rolling into the Golfers OF
Crosby Gaige, did he care7
Had his ambition been that II his
brother Archie, that is, to become the
family millionaire. Edgar might have
been considerably exasperated with
himself. Instead, he began writing
plays. OF these there have been nine
successful ones, If one may include
"The Mirage" which is said to offer
the most serious message Edgar Selwvn
has ever given the world through the
medium Of the drama. Of Mr. Selwyn's
own plays the Selwyns themselves have
produced four--"Rolling Stones," 1.-THE
Naughty Wife" written in collobora-
tion with Fred Jackson), "The Crowded
Hour" (written with Charming Pol.
lock) and "The Mirage" with which
Florence Reed will open the Selwyns
new Times Square Theatre on Thurs
day night. Other Selwyn productions
which have scored great success are
"Within the Law "Twin Beds "Fair Pa,
Show Shop" "Lilac Time" "Buddies,'
through" Just ahead are are "The 'elrs' Tore
of which Leo GARLIC will be the star,
and Sonny" new play, by George
V. Hobart, in which Emma Dunn will
have the opportunity to create a singu-
larly appealing character.
Beyond the production Of "Ths
Toreador" and "sonny," the selwyns
have accepted eight or ten plays which
they anticipate Offering the public q
chance to see in the current season, q
fact which makes one wonder where
the theaters are to be had for their
housing, for the experience OF the
Selwyns but reflects the general pros
perity Of theatrical producers at the
present moment. Even with the great
number of new playhouses now in the
course Of erection in New York it
would seem impossible to fulfill all the
plans which have been announced in
New-York tribune., 1920-09-26
The Selwyns, Struggling
For Livelihood Eight Years
AGO, Win Fame and Fortune

lieved in "Within the Law" to such an
extent that they asked Brady to sell
it back to them.
For $4,000" replied Mr. Brady.
Noy between them the Selwyns
didn't have $4,000. Nor was it easy
to borrow it. Finally they did manage
to scrape it together and with it bought
within the Law" from Mr.. Brady
Having thus obtained control Of it,
there was no alternative except TO pro-
duce it. Thus, quite by force Of cir
cumstances, the Selwyns became the
atrical producers. 1t would be better,
ducing field in self-defense However,
the fact remains that they did enter
it, and enter it with such brilliant sue
cess that their future as producers was
assured by their very first venture
With Jane Cowl as the star, the Sell
wyns produced within the Law" in
New York, and before it closed they
had made 100000 out of it.
1t was shortly before this that
Crosby Gaige became member of the
firm in circumstances which are as
humorous as they are interesting. Mr..
Gaige (w4fo is a Columbia man, class of
1903), took unto himself q wife when
he first became associated with the
ASA"y @Ao "oC ASNelFkHS q SdlaIy VI
s25 week. AS bridal present Henry
Arthur Jones, the famous English
playwright, gave the Crosby Gaiges a
trip to England. The young couple
had delightful time abroad, and when
they came back talked 80 much abaat it
that Edgar Selwyn contracted violent
attack of wanderlust- He craved trip
to the Orient.
Tell you what I'll do," he told
Crosby Gaige.
"Yes?" answered Gaige, with rising
infection.
"I1l sell you half Of my interest in
the firm for $5,000," he offered.
Mr.. Gaigs didn't have moro than
enough money to set up housekeeping
with his brine, and $4,000 looked
mighty big to him In those days,
but he believed in the future of the
young firm which was employing him,
so he searched for the father of a
college chum and asked she loan Of the
money. 1t happened that the man in
question not only had plenty Of money,
but q sporting vein ran through his
blood as we'll. So it came about that
young Gaige walked into the Office of

helped considerably in the consumma-
tion Of their plans when their second
new theater Is completed next month.
This is the Apollo, which joins their
new Times Square Theater. and will be
the larger Of the two when 1t is ready
for occupancy. Like the Times Square,
its opening will be in Forty-second
Street, although the auditorium will
run hack to Forty-third Street. This
will give the Selwyns three theaters in
Forty-second Street (the third being
the Selwyn Theater) under their direct
control.
Outside Of New York, theaters owned
and controlled by this young firm ara
Selwyns' Park Square Theater, Bos-
ton; the Seiwyn and Chicago theaters,
now in course of construction, in Chi
cago; the new Hanna Theater in Cleve-
land, which opens its doors this fall;
new theater In Philadelphia and an
other In Detroit, both Of which will be
ready for occupancy next year.

WORKERS ARE PAYING
INCOME TAKES NOW
(By Associated Press,-

b.
New York, Feb. 5.-Plumbers who
pay income taxes are no longer the
"aristocrats of labor, according to
William H. Edwards, United States In
ternal Revenue Collector for the Sc
cond and Third Districts of New York,
in whose districts this year more than
81 500 100000 will be gathered up for
Uncle, Sam.
High wages and profitable overtime
says Mr.. Edwards, have raised to the
income tax paying list such workers as
longshoreman, garment makers,
paper hangers, railroad brakeman,
chauffuers, sailors, truck drivers and
piano movers. "And don't forget the
chorus girls, the movie stars, and the
hotel walters, declared the collector,
adding that some of the latter are
making more than $4,000 a year in
tips alone.
Street car conductors and motor
men in Brooklyn, for instance, he said,
have made as much as $50 week and
if their yearly income exceeds $1,000
for a single man or $4,000 for the
head of family, they will be requir-
ed to contribute their share toward the
cost of running the government. Mr..
Edward cited few instances with
out, of course, mentioning any names,
of bootblacks, milkwagon drivers and
bellboys who in 1919 earned in excess
of heir. exemption and who will be re.
quired to file returns.
Payments of the income tax began
on January ! and will continue until
midnight of March Is at which time
all returns must be in to escape the
possibility of a maximum of 81 900
fine for delinquency. While Collector
Edwards was opening his mail the
other day out fell check for $685.
$3.50, representing the payment of a
corporation tax with penalty and in
terest The next letter he opened
was from Mpntclair, N. j., which is
also in his district. 1t had been
registered to pay an income tax of
$1.37.
A recent caller at the Collectors
office was woman whose net income
was 65 cents. Her tax amounted to
four cents. She wanted to know if
she would be permitted to make the
payments Quarterly. When told she
could she smiled and said she guessed
she would pay it all at once handed
over four Shining penniesrsan took
her receipt. Another patriotic citi-
zen-,foreign born-flled a careful re-
turn showing that he had no income
which was subject to taxation. At the
bottom of his return was the follow
ing imitation: "No tax due but would
like to pay some tax and enclose
check for $100".
Collector Edwards said that, I'M
der the law he was not permitted to
accept the check but that he, for.
warded it to Commissioner Roper in
Washington to dispose of as he saw
fit. This year the income tax rate is
less than last, Mr.. Edwards said, the
normal rate being a percent on the
first $4,000 of net income above the
exemption and percent on the re-
manning net income of and IL per-
cent as in 1913.
