Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-01-16

Me-" which comes to Washington
for week on January 81, is some
thing to anticipate with excitement
His Battle of Angels" a curious
failure of his earlier days, also is
fascinating reading. But the piece
Of WILLIAMSBURG that we long to
read is the one mentioned-that
flop which made his bosses so flu
riouS.
1t is recorded nowhere that even
a fragment of the script in question
remains in the files of Williams OF
those who ordered it. Such care
lessness should not be.
The locale of Williams at the time
of writing this lost manuscript was
Hollywood. He was working for
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer. He was get
ting $3.50 a week as a writer in a
job that had come to him amazingly
while he was working as a movie
theater usher at =. $18 weekly. He
had written a great deal even for
a writer, much less a busy usher,
and he was just enough off the COM
mercial beam of dramatic writing
that his possibilities seemed wonder
full. Like Saroyan, say, who was
and iS-a bit off the commercial
beam.
At any rate, M-G-M had hired

him. At that salary, of course, h,
was merely little writer, but hi
promise was such that he was asked
to write script for Lana Turner
No one in authority thought thai
Williams. a creative fellow whose
imagination is as wide as the uni.
verse, should be cramped by beinf
limited suddenly to Miss Turner. Tht
studio had found her pictures quite
stimulating to the imaginations O.
The movie public and could see NJ
reason why she should not be equally
stimulating to $250-a-week author
Don't jump to the conclusion thai
Williams turned temperamental anc
began screaming about the relation
of his art to the art of Lana Turner
He did nothing of the kind.
On the contrary, he simply sal
down and wrote Tennessee Williams
idea of what would make a good
vehicle for Miss Turner on the
screen. 1t took him six weeks
which is break-neck speed for a
Hollywood writer. Finished, he
turned it in and waited for further
word.
No word came, the first week, MOI
the second. Still Williams waited
Leaving word where he was, hi
went daily to the beach for a swim
Weeks turned into months, until
the months began to number six
which was the time limit of Will
liams' contract.
Before they reached it, it was hi
who was forced to break the silence
that had greeted his script. He goi
in touch with his agent and asked
the latter to call the studio for per-
mission to go back East to see one
of his plays which was about to be
produced - experimentally, so tc
speak.
The studios answer had a dra-
matte finality about it. 1t said:
Yes, he can go on one condi-
ton"
The agent asked what that was
That he never come back" the
studio said
1t is the sort of thing that makes
one mighty curious to know just
what was in the script-the LOST
Williams work which we hope some
day will be found.
AS to going back to Hollywood
by the way, Williams felt exactly
as the studio did. He wouldn't be
dragged back.

Aside to Mrs. D. H. K: Sorry
you are wrong about Kay Francis
We shall be as happy to see her in
Windy Hill'' as any one else in the
audience. We shall be no more pref
udiced against the play because she
is in it than we shall be in its favor
because it was written by the wife
of a writer Of whose friendship we
are proud. Patsy Ruth Miller, you
know, is Mrs. John Lee Mahin.
