By Marx Barron,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

NEW YORK.
Comedy, for long his delightful
forte, was quietly exiled upon the
shelves along with many other nor
NAL facets of civilized life when
Robert Emmet Sherwood read Hit
ler's "Mein Kampf" 10 years ago.
He was convinced then that the
erstwhile World War corporal meant
to attempt to carry out his plan
to dominate all Europe and perhaps
all the world.
That was decision that turned
Sherwood's pen away from a path
OF treating history with tongue in
cheek and persuaded him to look
with some apprehension upon the
future for democratic standards. 1t
also induced him to write a pair
OF Pulitzer winning dramas,
one denouncing aggression and the
other upholding democracy-"Idiot S
Delight" in 1896 and ABE Lincoln
in Illinois" in 1899.
Since Eugene O'Neill retreated
Into an extended period of silence
in 1884 Sherwood's works unques-
tionably have made him the Ameri-
can theater's No. playwright. In
addition he is one of the leaders
of the Dramatists' Guild and
founder and co-producer of the
Playwrights' Producing Co.
Il read 'Mein Kampf' just afte,

After Mein Kampf' He Deserts Comedy
Robert Sherwood Believed Hitler Decade Ago Turned

6 feet inches half way across his
office in Rockefeller Center.
No Capacity to Believe.
And that was the end for me
OF all romantic comedies, at least
until this constant threat of death
to all freedom and democracy in
the world is no longer hanging
over us. I'm one who took Hitler
seriously from the very beginning.
THE Allied leaders knew what
Hitler was planning, but they just
didn't have the capacity to believe
it. They believed just what they
wanted to believe and dismissed the
rest so that's why I'm not
writing new play now. Instead,
I'm writing advertisements.
Sherwood was referring to the
advertisements he is writing for the
Committee to Defend America by
Aiding the Allies, of which William
Allen White is national chairman.
In these he is, ironically, borrow
ing literally of Hitler's own quotes
to make his points. Such a one
is Hitler's boast: ''It will be a
simple matter for me to produce
unrest and revolts in the United
States so that these gentry will
have their hands full with their
own affairs We shall soon
have storm troopers in America"
In Sherwood's current drama,
There Shall Be No Night" he tells
the story of the overrunning of
peaceful Finland by an aggressive
force. Now one of Broadway s
top hits. it is crossing rich royalties
for Sherwood and he is donating
them all to the Red Cross and q

Prior to putting their comedies
before the cameras. the Marxes
several years ago boiled the script
down to a one-hour show and took
1t out on the road. They played
the stage version of "Go West" at
103 performances in Midwest cities
during May and June. They re-
ceived some shocking surprises, as
they always do on such tours.

fleeing Harpo and Chico by selling
them a beaver cap, bear trap, gold

and dozens of other things as they
left New York to 60 gold hunting

hearsals and I thought 1t crazy

we changed the idea around COM

the show. In. the revised version I
need $40, 80 I will have $40 for =
ticket West. I try to fleece the
other two boys, selling them articles
at 81 each. For each sale, I am
handed a $40 bill and asked for 50
change. Every transaction lands the
$40 bill and the 50 change back in
Harpo's pocket. Every time I make
a sale 1 lose 50 and wind up by
being the goat. Silly stun, but audi
ences ate it up. 1t will 60 into the
movie"
It's Not Universal.
Not that he's kicking, but Groucho
reminds the world that comedians
never win academy awards, although
they actually work much harder for
characterizations than do dramatic
actors.
"A dramatic actor can make four
or even six good pictures q year,
where a comedian Is safest at one
and never tries going beyond two."
he declares. That's because dra-
matte stories are plentiful and the
story itself gives the actor variety"
What makes comedy 50 scarce and
difficult to provide in job lots?
Groucho has a logical explanation.
Comedy isn't a universal expert
ence," he says. Not every one has
lived through one-hundredths of the
things happening in comedy film.
Exaggerated comedy rarely happens
to Mr.. Fan. Tragedy and drama
do. We're all touched by the vii
lain foreclosing a mortgage because
all of us worry about meeting our
bills before the credit company takes
back the auto or the ice box. That's
universal, as are disappointments,
failures, successes and love affairs
But how many persons have sud-
denly found q rabbit climbing out
of their coat sleeve? Sure, it could
happen, but 1t doesn't.
If people had frequent comedy
adventures, the newspapers would
be full of them, and writing q hit
film would take no more. trouble
than clipping items out of the paper
and enacting them on the screen"
Now, you see what Hollywood is
up against. Maybe the producers
should chip In and run Grouchos
ad after all.

There Shall Be No night" Sher.
wood believes, is the most uncon-
ventional drama he has ever written,
although he almost always keeps
to orthodox forms and never re-
sorts to such experimental dramatic
devices as O'Neill used with his
aside speeches in Strange Inter-
lude" or his masks in THE Great
God Brown"
Writes in Longhand.
Il envy the ability of some play
wrights to make such experiments, I"
Sherwood said. but I just haven't
the ability along that line. I have
a matter of fact, routine mind and
so I stick to the furrow I know. I
sometimes get those ideas, but just
don't bother with them because I
don't believe that I could carry them
through to satisfactory finish.
"At that, the only things really
unconventional about There Shall
Be No Night is that there are two
star parts, instead of one, and in
the whole act these two star char
acters never meet"

work in his studio on Long Island
