Saturdays, with Leslie Howard in
the chief role. was accepted by
Ames on the first reading. Thus
il falls into the rare class OF
manuscripts that are not rejected
bv a dozen managers before they
are produced.
The fact that so famous an
author as John Galsworthy wrote
1t is not responsible for the quick
acceptance of Escape" because
Ames. who had produced other
Galsworthy plays, Strife, THE
Pigeon" and "Old English. also
had declined to present several
dramas GalsworrIly submitted to
him.
Galsworthy wrote Escape"
while he was wintering in Palm
Springs. Cal Despite this fact,
there is no visible American influ.
ence in the play. except for
brief reference to moral turpi-
tude," a phrase that attained great
publicity at .he time through
the Lady Cathca:t case. When
Galsworthy returned 10 New York
on his way to England. he handed
Escape" to Ames, two days be-
fore his sailing. Ames read it
and signed a contract to pro-
duce it.
Galesworthy wanted the Ameri-
ran performance to he its world
premiere, but as Ames could not
secure Leslie Howard at that time
its New York productions had to
be postponed until after 1t had
been given in London.
In London Nicholas Hannen
acted the role Howard plays here
Escape" ran for u season there.
1t ran five months in New York
and might still be playing there,
but for the fact that, since How
