By GIadacin Hill,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

NEW YORK.
If you don't think there's any,
thing to our just-departed Halo
ween, consider the case of Eric
Hatch, who was born on Halloween
and holds it responsible for keeping
him rather pixillated ever since.
Hatch, short, dapper and puckish-
faced at 80, is the man who wrote
the classic screwball movie MY
Man Godfrey" and the dizzy Top
per" ghost pictures. Through them,
and II giddy novels and innumerable
short stories, he has gained place
as one of the leading ambassadors
to and from the realm of wacky.
He lives half the year on boat,
drinks ginger ale and engages in
such diversions as making phono-
graph-record dramatizationS OF
bizarre news items.
Hatch looks deceptively conven-
tional, resembling, in his college
cut suit, white shirt and neat bow
tie, brokers' customer's-ma This
is reasonable, because he embarked
on a writing career from the un-
likely take-off point of his fathers
Wall Street investment house.
With characteristic perversity,
Hatch was unable, even in the
boom days preceding 1929, to make
money in Wall street, so he tried
writing on the side-about horse
racing, for the pulp" magazines.
He discovered he could bat out
5000 word pieces between dinner
and bedtime. and soon developed
fine system. On his way home
from Wall Street he would stop OF

at the publishers and discuss a
story idea, write the story that
evening, leave it at the publishers
on the way downtown the next
morning, and on the way home that
night pick up a check for s100.
Finally he was making more
money writing than in Wall Street
and gave up finance, beating the
crash to the draw.
He became aware of his more
or less chronic state of piXillation
when he went to Hollywood, and the
first five producers he went to work
under promptly were fired.
He Has Routine.
There was even one classic occa-
sion where Hatch sat blandly day
after day pounding out story he
and everybody else knew couldn't
possibly end up anywhere except in
the waste basket. The studio had
decided to get rid of a director, by
the simple process of rejecting
everything he did. Hatch just hap
pened to have the story in question,
and had to keep on writing and re-
writing until the director got dis
guSted and walked out.
Finally, with some items like MY
Man Godfrey" Hatch got settled
down writing for the movies on one
hand and the publishers on the
other.
He and his wife now spend half
their time in Hollywood and half
aboard a 45-foot cruiser househoat
with crew of two, off Port Wash
ington, Long Island.
Hatch starts writing about II
every morning, accomplishes moth
ing, knocks OF for lunch, and re-
