from him. He has given us per-
mission, however, to mention
the broad idea behind it, which
he puts into approximately
these words:
What stymies authors of
original plays is that they must
think of every thought and
every word in terms of, will a
play producer buy that; in other
words, is it commercial? This
means trying to think of two
things at the same time, namely
what one is about to write and
what its effect is going to be.
In the case of adapting a
novel, one already has the evil
dence of its popularity to sug-
gest that its effect will be good.
1t then becomes largely a mat
ter of merely reshaping it; re-
modelling so to speak. Until
got into adapting The Mack
erel Plaza I wouldn't have
thought this would be much
fun. 1t turned out that it was.
LAS a matter of fact, I'm at
work on my next play. 1t is
another adaptation of an even
more popular original.
n y
The Theater Guild is already
busy casting and otherwise ar
ranging THE Mackerel Plaza. u
1t is due for production next
season. There is interest," too,
in the second adoption which
might be ready in time to give
Bill two plays in one season.
Has the ease and promise of
this settled his future?
No, it has not. Bill is going
right on being an editor and a
part time playwright. But.
when and if the adaptions are
successful enough to give him
a firm sense of security. there
is no certainty that he won't
try another originate see if
he can surmount that pleasant
but negative word, promising"

stranger would pick him out as
someone identified n some
way with smart writing. 1t is
a look that very few writer's
have, except possibly beatnik
poets who deliberately dress
to look like unsuccessful writ
ing types.
However, to get back to Bill
He has been in this corner be-
fore. Rather often. There was
a period, when everyone save
infants born today looked
younger, during which Bill was
a playwright. He wrote plays
that were near misses. These
were just good enough to make
the critics hate having to say
they were not good enough
And, in sorrow, to describe Bill
as promising.
Then one day several years
ago, Bill got tired of being
promising. He went back to
work as an editor of The Ladies
Home Journal. He seemed to
have broken the habit OF
writing plays. There were
those among his friends who
thought how sad this was, but
who admired Bill for his
strength of character.
We'll, the news of Bill today
is that he really didn't kick
the playwriting habit, not per-
Inanently. He is back in it, part
time when he isn't editing, but
he is attacking it this time
from another angle. This is
one so promising that critics
never again may have to refer
TO him as promising"

Z The new Dramatist McCleery
IS an adapter. Instead of being
an. original thinker-too origi-
nal, it often seemed-he is
working on the basic thoughts
Of other men. AS an editor, he
has a discriminating taste in
writer's worth adapting to the
stage.
4 This at least is implicit in
his first choice, Peter DeVries.
Mr.. DeVries is an amusing
chap, with quite a cultiSh fol-
lowing which keeps growing
from outlandish-ish novel to
novel. The one of these that
Bill has adapted is 1.-The Mack
erel Plaza" full of characters
less aSkew than Salinger's but
pretty aSkew nonetheless.
There is quite an advantage,
Bill says, in adapting somebody
else's writing into play form.
He is going to write a piece
about this some day and it
wouldn't be right to steal it
