New York, Nov. 11.-Portrait of
New Yorker: He is forty-three, and
seven years ago he wrote play which
was hit on Broadway It ran for
many months and what with the
movie rights and other income it pro-
duced about sixty thousand dollars
for him.
He went abroad at once, dizzy with
fame and riches. He intended to take
a short rest, play around some and
then return-to write another hit.
Hollywood had called, but he turned
the siren down.
The other day I saw him again. I
had wondered what had happened to
him., for no other work of his had
reached the stage. It developed that
he didn't know what had happened
to him either. He simply hadn't been
able to- do any more writing.
First he figured it out this way:
six months of rest, then another play,
which, assuming it was only a mod
crate success, would certainly bring
him ten or fifteen thousand. But he
kept putting off the actual compost
ion of the play. A year, two years.
Finally he got first act finished.
He returned to the States and sub
mitted his first act around. One pro-
Queer said he might be interested if
the play were completed. 1t has not
been completed yet, probably never
will he. He kept getting other and
better ideas. He, has finished the first
scene of four other plays, synopsyzed
one through the second act and has
notes on characters for five addi-
tional plays. He just doesn't seem able
to finish anything.
There are probably half a dozen,
maybe more, playwrights like him
scattered aobut the country, with one
hit or one moderate success chalked
sup4Nand then the long sterility. What
is the answer? Probably that his sue
cess came too quickly and too luxuri-
antly, as it comes in the theater if it
comes at all.
The failure of playwrights to keep
producing has frequently been charg-
ed off to Hollywood, when the blame
lies in some deep frailty Of human
nature, A successful play means a
fortune and the old impetus Ito keep
driving and working is removed. SO
the play WI1SuI, WIIIlOuI ASdl1y AACdIl-
ing to, quits. = :
:. There's something else. that has
often struck me about playwrights
and it may have some bearing on the
number of one-play authors who drop
from the limelight with soft thud.
That is the small amount of per-
sonal fame that they achieve, in re-
lation to the success of the enterprise.
There are several successful plays
running on Broadway at the moment.
Everybody knows, of course, that
George S. Kaufman was concerned in
the ..confection of I'D Rather Be
Right" perhaps sixty per cent of
those who know this also know that
Moss Hart was Mr.. Kaufman's col
la,torator. But after this spectacle is
disposed of. how many know the au-
thors Of the other successful plays
on the Street?
Who wrote, for example, eyes, My
Darling: Daughter? Orswho is respon-
sible for the Lunts "Amphitryon
38%? Who 4authored Brother Rat"
and the book of "Babes in Arms?

you tell me offhand the author of
"Three Men on a Horse and even
Tobacco Road? Any novelist who
had turned out work comparable,
from the standpoint of success, to
any of these, would be known widely
and well. All who knew his book, or
almost all, would be able to name him.
And tell you, very likely, that he keeps
cats or collected stamps or grew lilacs
in his spare time.
The playwright maintains a sur
prising comparative anonymity. And
thus another flip to continued hard

CHAPTER 30

GARRETT lost no time. He
never had met anyone like Marcia
before, and he resolved to waste
no precious days of her friend
ship. With a somewhat shame
faced grin, he stopped in the club
florists on the way to his Office.
"You have mother banquet,
maybe SOP" queried Nobu. the lit
tie Japanese girl who helped him
on the infrequent occasions when
he came to buy flowers.
mo. Something for a lady," he
answered rather quickly to cover
his embarrassment, then began to
search busily among the bright
flowers on display.
lis she orchid lady, or maybe
gardenia ?" she asked tentatively.
mo. This girl is different,
Nobu. Sort Of crinoline
Genuine ?" the tiny clerk said
slowly, trying to catch the UNI
familiar term.
That's it. That's it-genuine!"
Garrett was immensely pleased
over the little incident. Convinced
that Nobu had second sight or I'M
common intuition, he urged, "NoW
you help me find something for
herr"
With a quick nod the girl van
ished into the cool dark interior OF
the shop, and soon returned with
some tiny pink rose buds, with
lilies Of the valley.
{ = 'You like? she smiled expan-
sively, sure of his approval. When
he nodded in relief, she bobbed a
quick curtsy and then brought him
a card. With a great show of in
difference, Garrett went to the
desk, and devoted himself to the
junaccustomed task Of penning a
romantic note to a lady. :
Suddenly, it seemed that he
never had had such an important
Tor such a difficult note to write.
IF Nobu had been an American,
she would have smiled at his in
tense concentration. Being an
impassive Oriental, she merely
waited patiently till he handed her
tine folded card and hastily left the
shop.
He was back in a moment, full
of embarrassment.
II forgot to tell you," he apollo
gized. "Send the flowers to Miss
Marcia Madden, 827 South Multern
drive. And rush them"
Marcia was just leaving her
apartment in mid-morning when
the messenger called. Soft color
flooded her cheeks when the boy
handed her the elaborate box, and
she thought tenderly of Sandy
How sweet Of him to remember
her on q busy Monday!
She unwrapped the box quickly
then lifted the, card from the
quaint little bouquet. Disappoint-
ment, then surprised pleasure were
reflected on her face as she read
CARROTS 1aborious note: ITO the
Crinoline Lady Hoops for you
and whoops for me now that I've
met you. May I see you tonight

After the first disappointment
that the flowers were not from
