From the Notebook
Of a Playwright
By Zoe Akins

In a,asaoer to a request for an
article on her plays, Miss Zoe
Aki,as has fauored The Tribune
aoith the following extracts from
her notebook.
U DO NOT think am ambitious. In
4 fact, ! am curiously Indifferent to

one have ever known. love independ-
ence--and there is a measure of inde-
pendence that only money ana recogni-

curb my moods and humors for the

There was g five-act tragedy in

I wrote one, and Harrison Grey Fiske
almost took it for Bertha Kalish.

was seventeen-with another play
called ''The End Of the Strike" (I was
an anarchist then, politically, and very
much on the side Of the under dog) and
q dozen other projects that had got
themselves down, or partly down, on
paper. These masterpieces were in a
trunk which insured, at some ones

on them. valued them at fifty thou
sand dollars-and then proceeded to

ways about to buy play from chat
But "The Magical City," play in
free verse, was not written to please
manager, star, nor public. !.
Neither was "Papa''--and incidentally
it didn't; not as play, although as
book it travelled far. Karl Vollmoel-
Ter, perhaps the greatest dramatist /
have ever known, took it, and one
act play called "Such Charming
Young Man" to Germany with him. to
translate, and still in London and Paris
"Papa" pops at me from strange cor
ners. 1t will be very amusing if some
of the people who talk so much about
it really do it, over there.
But Lengyel has the rights to make
the translation and arrange the pro-
duction of "Declassee" in Germany,
and think Greatness must wait q

He saw what was trying to
do--reveal unusual characters placed
in odd juxtaposition in spirit of COM
edy. Underneath float the deep things
of their lives--a dozen stories-all
thrilling-move beneath the slightly
stirred surface of this comedy. /. !.
Perhaps it's too slightly stirred. :.
The characters seem SO real to me that
they are much more stationary than
characters In a play have way of
being. They're like people standing
there-not people passing on the stage.
Well, when we get them on a
stage-we shall see. Mrs. Pat
rick Compbell said she'd black her face
and put on pants if necessary to play
my Texas Niohtingale-but that was
before she read it--when we were being
very comic one day at lunch at the
Carlton and she heard that my latest
play had some one from Texas as it's
chief character. Afterward she
was very serious and charming about it

hadn't already disposed of the London
rights. She liked the character of

One day said TO I.rs. Pat, after par
ticularly embarrassing exhibition of
"good acting that it was my own opin-
ion that actors could not underact.

me, "but it's not always understood.

However, when it comes to under
acting, find that as a playwright,
am often ali at sea about the pitch OF
performance. Trying out" plays is,
to me, ridiculous custom. But the
actors want 80 play TO a role, usually,
before opening in New York, and
suppose there's something to be said
for them; but the success of many
plays-in spite of dull spots--left just
as written by the authors and played
by the Theater Guild, for instance,
seems significant to me. / believe that
"try-outs" have hurt as many pla.s as
they've improved. More. The players
grow insensitive; before indiscreet au-
diences, to "pitch," particularly. /. !.

Tonight I started to write some

amuses me to prove to myself how lit

when wrote "Declassee" l wrote it
with no belief that it would be pro-
duced. AT least had lost hope before

thought my last act, and Lady Helen'g
Spartan death scene, in which she sat
up and smoked and drank champagne
and talked just as she was in the habit
of talking every day, until the mo-
ment when Death really came, would be
particularly unlikely to "go' in the
theater. ~. Incidentally the off
stage music was supposed to be very
gay music. I've always thought my
description of that music should have
been observed. Then we wouldn't
have come IN, perhaps, for the "slow
music, off stage" criticism
