WHEN [ WAS
TWENTY-ONE
BY JOSEPH KAYE

At twenty-one: John Howard Law
son was creating more crooks to make
his play fit for Broadway.
6 a T TWENTY-ONE I sold my first
\ play. Cohan and Harris were
the buyers. When the production
date for it came around it became
evident that something had to be
done to it to make 1t presentable for
Broadway. For long time we
worked over it, putting in more
crooks, more detectives, more heroes,
more shots until the stage was
reached when the opinion became
unanimous that to leave the play
alone would be the best policy. 1t has
been left alone ever since.-JOHN
HOWARD LAWSON"
TO-DAY: Mr.. Lawson is one of the
most discussed dramatists in this
country. A few seasons ago his first
play to reach Broadway, Roger
Bloomer," was produced and at once
caused furry of agitated criticism,
due to its total unconventionality
Roger Bloomer" ran ten days on
Broadway, then a band of intellectu-
ais took it over to Greenwich village
where it played ten weeks before it
went into seclusion. Later it was
published In book form.
Mr.. Lawson's second play to be
produced was professional" This
work was given its debut by the
Theatre guild and never was there
SO sharply divided or more violent
criticism known in New York than
that which greeted professional
Half the leading metropolitan critics
said Mr.. Lawson was geniuss the
other half said something was wrong.
One even questioned Mr.. Lawson's
reason. The audiences, too. were
equally divided, but the outstanding
fact was that those who liked "Pro-
cessional" idealized 1t and lifted 1t
to the highest pinnacle of art; while
those who didn't like 1t hated 1t most
decisively.
Professional" was a play that told
a story of the life of miners In West
Virginia, but was set in framework
of jazz, thus striving to weld the in
ner drama OF American life with the
reckless fiippancy and gaiety of the
jazz years.

That's one of my reasons, anyway.
Another is that it is expected Of me

If it were not that I am so busy and

"But I'll tell you, Billie Brownie,
the book itself wasn't anything much.
1t gave my mother an idea, though, to
start a library for me while 1 was

when I grew up, and while growing

"And now 1 must bid you a polite
