A = ra:,
The story of the writing and
production of "Abie's Irish
Rose" and its growth to sur
passing records of the entire
globe, will never cease to be
news. The thing is a product
of countless circumstances which
happened to dovetail in that one
chance in millions. To the
pluck and courage of Anne
Nichols, the author who was
forced to become its producer,
there goes inn1easureable credit
as likewise goes to the whims
of fortune which nurtured this
willing rose back to life when
even the indomitable Anne had
practically given it up and
walked out on the first per-.
formance. .s
Producers galore had been Of
fered the piece, after its West
Coast run, but all declined. No
one would touch it. Believing
in her play and angered at the
aloofness of Broadway, Miss
Nichols mortgaged the only
property she had; a home in
Bayside, L. l., and went ahead
to produce on her own account.
The play opened and only two
critics out of twenty gave it a
chance for success. These were
Alan Dale of the American and
an initiated reviewer on the
New York Herald. The author
herself admitted the perform
ance was pretty bad.
Cut-rate ticket agencies man.
aged to barely keep the piece
alive. The actors accepted cuts
in salaries. The struggle seemed
hopeless. Miss Nichols was told
she was courting bankruptcy to
overcome the handicap Of
Broadway's judgment.
For a reason that only God
can give, business started to
slowly increase during the
eighth week, grew better the
week following, eventually grew
to capacity and has remained
so ever since.
Figuring concurrent perform
ances, "Abie's irish Rose" has
played a total of fifteen years.
It's total number of perform
ances up to May % (this, of
course, includes the road COM
panies) was 5,861 bettering by

"Charley's Aunt" "Our Boys"
and "Maid Of the Mountains,
all abroad.
Miss Nichols is reputed to be
receiving $4,000 weekly and, it
is estimated, that before the
piece has exhausted it's run, she
will have crossed $4,000, 900 for
herself.
One cannot dissect this masters
piece of low comedy and say:
Here is one reason and there
is another why this play is so
phenomenally successful"

ing since there has been a. thea.
ter. In it there is a vital some
thing which. if it could be
rninutely analyzed and tabulated,
would make seething hippodromes
out Of every theater in the land.
Any play which gets people
into the theater is a successful
play whether 1t approximates GER
tain ideals OF play construction or
not. 'Abie" has levied fully on
that definite quota Of regular
playgoers and 1t has taken untold
requisltion from the people who
rarely. II ever, enter a theater.
And 1t is this latter class whom
producers are constantly trying to
bait. An inconstant patron, once
he's attracted to play, reaches
enthusiams which send him back
again and again. usully with rein
forcements. He feels he has dis
covered something and the world
must know about It.
