Golden Speaks

IN regard 10 MS national prize play
contest Mr.. Golden said: II have
organized this plan primarily as a
means Of expressing my gratitude
for the good fortune which has come
to me as a result of my policy Of
presenting clean, humorous Ameri-
can plays exclusively. For several
years, have realized that a great
number Of worthy plays may be 60
ing unread and unproduced. I hope
this contest will bring new blood
into the theater. 1t has been worked
out so that it is open to all and fair
TO all. Its best feature lies in the
fact that no one can have any no
ton OF which judges or what plays
will be in at the finish.
I'm fairness to the judges in this
contest it should be added that no
producer, player, author or critic can
select a play that IS certain TO sue
coed. This is only an experiment
We all have agreed that 1t should he
tried and we can only hope that it
Will be successful.
Il know that people generally are
interested in the romance of play
writing because Of the financial re-
wards. Il is no secret that Winchell
Smith, Avery Hopwood Austin
Strong Frank Craven. Roi Cooper
Megrue and a score Of other Ameri-
can playwrights have made great
fortunes with a pencil and a pad Of
white paper" Mr.. Golden states.

r. EE great American indoor
II sport-writing plays-will re-
N ceive new impetus on
Sept. /.
That date has been selected by
John Golden, the New York produc-
err of plays, forathe Inauguration of
the John Colder national prize play
contest.
Aside from the fact that this is
the first Nationwide free-for-all play
contest ever held, a salient feature
is that there has been deposited in
the East River National Bank of
New York the sum of 100000 to be
used for productions, prizes and in
the exploitation Of this project.
Cash sums of $4,000, $1,000 and
$500, as advances on royalties, are
to be paid to the first. second and
third prize winners and their plays
are guaranteed production.
OF equal interest is the fact that
Mr.. Golden has agreed that he will
produce these plays unread, regard
less Of his own opinion as to their
artistic. literary or box office merits.
The judging of the plays and the
entire conduct of the contest, with
the exception Of mechanical details,
are in the hands of a group of Amer
lean dramatic critics and dramatic
editors, located in more than $50
cities throughout the United States.
Mr.. Golden's chief object in ar
ranging this competition has been
to devise a plan whereby a greater
number Of plays now written or in
process of composition may reach
the hands of persons with some
knowledge Of the drama who may
be expected to pass fairly
reliable judgment upon the manu-
scripts.
