the youngster wrote a play, Louder
Please" which he tried to sell the
studio, without success. So he did
the next best thing, sent it to George
Abbott. who knocked the lad for a
loop by producing it on Broadway.

written a play while he was supposed
to be working for them, they dis
pensed with the services of their pub
licity chief-the central character in
the play-for not buying 1t for the
studio. Krasna was then 20 years
old-and very ambitious.
"One Of these days I'll have Rolls
Royce, IA suits of clothes, change them
twice a day, and spend whole week
at Palm Springs" he boasted. The
