OF course. there was some think.
ing on the outside with both of US
about getting a type of character
and working out situa ations that were
difficult. Thus we finally hit upon
the idea of using Il prizetighter. be-
cause the public knows so little
about him. although really he has
a universal appeal
My own idea of characters came
to me almost exclusively through my
experience on the stage. For many
years | acted in stock and learned
somehow or other. by using my own
methods and those of others, what
was wrong in the development or
presentation of the character. One
particular matter has always inter-
ested me, and that is the motivation
of a characters entrance and exit.
So. when l began writing with Mr..
Taber [ resolved that when our
characters went on or off the stage
they should have a purpose. for so
doing.
My acting experience taught me
how to do dialogue. What laughs l
have. | believe, come from my own
natural tendencies as a comedian. /
am Il very strong believer In the
fact that comedy can never be
taught: that it must be within the
person, and once he has it, he knows
how to time his speech. how to play
