NEW YORK, June 23 Up
Michael Arlen, whose novel THE
Green Hat" was a sensational
best seller of the roaring 20s,
died tonight at his Park avenue
home after a long illness. He
was 81.
Mr.. Arlen was said to be one of
the few men to become a mil
lionaire by his writings.
He adapted The Green Hat"
as a play, with Katherine Cor
nell in the leading role of Iris
March. 1t also was made into a
movie starring Greta Carlo.
Although he wrote and pub
lliShed books and short stories
before and after his 1924 hit, he
never was able to match the
success of THE Green Hat"
Wrote Little Recently
He lived quietly and wrote
little in recent years. His repu-
tation as a wit and sophisticate
remained undimmed through the
years.
Invitations to regular lunch
cons given by Mr.. Arlen were
coveted because of the brilliance
of the conversation. He chose
his guests with care to produce
"a sparkling performance.
Born Dirkran Kuyumjiarf at
RuStchuk. Bulgaria, Mr.. Arlen
went to England at an early age
and took the pen-name Michael
Arlen when he published his first
book at the age Of 10. He became
a British subject in 1922, later
lived on the French Riviera I'M
til the outbreak of World War
II, and then moved to New York.
Mr.. Arlen's work was some
thing less than a critical success,
and except for THE Green Hat, 4"
it made no special splash in the
lively literary renaissance of the
1920s.
One critic called his writing
a combination of sexual farce
and melodrama."
