Plays Are Not Written
But Rewritten, Says the
Author of Over 200

"Plays arc not written--they are re-
written" This Is tho motto which
usually adorns the walls Of q mana
gerial Office in the opinion Of Owen
Davis, author Of "Opportunity," which
is having successful run at tho
Forty-eighth Street Theater. He has
written more than 200 plays and has
often seen his own creation decorated
and also distorted by helpful out
them
II have on occasion, at my own ex-
pense," says Mr.. Davis, "ofcred to
replace tho managerial motto with an
other, Some plays arc born rotten,
others have rottenness thrust upon
them.
"In an experience Of twenty years
have known of several bad plays
saved by the skill of some hastilv sum-
moned phys cian, but plays, being after
all rather human things, are unfor-
tunately prone to the human weakness
Of obstinacy, and the physician is but
too often closely followed by the
undertaken when the patient has been
ever SO skillfully treated for Group
and unreasonably insists upon dying
Of heart disease.
Rather serious thinking on the SUBJ
1ect results IN my belief that 1t As
the easiest thing in the world not to
write play-and the safest. OF
course, nobody can write a good one,
and if they could, they would never
in the world bo able to prove it. So
those of us who write from ncces-
sity, or vice, have reluctantly arrived
at the conclusion that the only opti-
mistic thing for us to do is to always
believe that ours are good, since even
l have never been able to write a play
about which there were not two
opinions-even if occasionally it was
only mine and the rest Of the world S. y

Don't " eaken,' a w orth
While Farce, Shown at
The Criterion Theater

Like the final act in the vaudeville
program, the comedy reel in the large
Broadway motion picture houses gem
orally finds itself walked out on" By
the time the poor little fun-maker is
thrown upon the screen the audience
has stretched, said: "Well. let's 20
home" and started meandcring down
the dark aisle toward the exit This
is not as it should be because more
often than not the comedy reel is well
worth seeing.
AT the Criterion Theater during the
run Of George Fitzmaurices beautiful,
picture, "The Right to Love-" the public
is not accepting the added little comedy
in the "also" spirit 1t is taking no
tice of something not only riotously
funny, but finished as big features are
tinished-and with q story thrown in.
1t is a Paramount Sennett crea-
ton entitled Don't Weaken"
Hugo Resenfeld, who seldom praises
farce "a ray Of light in a dark comedy
woi d. lie sees about twenty of the
things each week in his effort to find
two for his theater, and he ought to
know the situation.
The plot-for the farce really has a
plot-revolves around a dancing mas
ter's effort TO win the hand of a newly
rich eX-saloonkeeper's daughter Ford
Sterling is the graceful teacher, Har-
riet Hammond the daughter, and
Charlie Murray the parvenu. Sterling
docs most of the dancing, and he
dances nearly all through the two reels
in way that keeps the audience hys-
terical. But ii is when he is CHALLENGED
to a real boxing match by his pros
pectiYe pa-in-law and accepts, that the
laughter reaches its climax. In the
1lng he presents Il burlesque on prize
lighting that gets over" not only to the
average person, but even to the student
OF boxing. 1t is Chaplinesque n it's
simplicity, little jab or slight turn
on the heel that shows the absurdity
of the boxers motion.

Ian Hay Talks of His
First Night With New
Play, sHappy-Co-Lucky'

be fearful every moment that one has
said too much. During the var I was
interviewed many times on the milf
tary situation on tho Western front
and allied subjects, and II was neither
pleasant nor an easy task to say just
the right things. Oh, 1t Is 50 much
pleasanter and nicer"
Happy Go Lucky" can almost be
called the British novelist's frst ven
ture as a playwright, but, contrary to
the general impression, tho play was
written first and then tho novel fol-
lowed. In the period Of tho war he
wrote Getting Together" recruits
ing play, with J. Hartley Manners, in
which Blanche Bates and Holbrook
Blinn played here, making q neat sum
of money for the allied charities
which benefited from the perform
ances.
Happy Co Lucky was written frst
as play and then as a novel, both
before the war;" Major Beth said.
"Of course, when war came. every
thing else had to be dropped and tho
play was hung up until the war was
over, and last year it was produced in
London as 'Tilly of Bloomsbury When
Mr.. Woods was in London he bought
tho play before It was produced, SIM
ply on glancing through tho manu-
script. He thought that It would be
q good nlay for America and bought It,
a very sporting thing, should say.
promised Mr.. Woods that I would
cross the Atlantic whenever he decided
to produce the play and see It through
for him.
~ was determined to have a flrss
night. even IT, I had to como 5000
miles for 1t. The first difficulty / en-
countered was in condensing the play.
In London they will sit three hours
through a play and think nothing of
it, but here they don't want more than
two hours and half. Plays start later
here than in London, and that perhaps
is the reason. Of course, l was delight
ed at the reception which was given
to the play. 1t was very English and I
was gratficd at the way the American
audience took it."
