Max
Marcin, Author of "The House o( Glass," at
the Gamete Next Week, Describes
His Woes
r" A scholar with a book on one end of ft
teg. and a teacher on tlio other constltuto
a university, as a savant ones observed,
then a student of the drama seated In a
Itallerjr chair and a band of players across
tlio footlights con
stltuto a rival to
Kngllsh 47. th
Harvard course
In playwrftlng
which produced
Edward Sheldon
and other nota
ble dramatists.
At least that Is
Max Marcln's be
lief, and the fact
that within two
years he has had
three plays pro
duced and has a
fourth on the flro
entitles him to a
hearing.
For years Mar
cin worked on
New York and
Philadelphia newspapers and following
the custom of his craft, contributed to
Various magazines. The longer ho kept
at it the moro certain he be:ame that
the only big money In the writing ramo,
unless one had the genius and luck to
write a best seller, was as a drama
tist. Subconsciously ha had always told
himself that eorao day ho would write a
plky (that Is one of the universal weak
nesses of newspaper men), but the urge did
not assume concrete form until about four
years ago.
It found Marcin, as It does all except the
Bhakcspeares, without any definite knowl
edge of the techniques of the medium he
was about to employ and he decided that
the chief study of plays Is plays. So -Marcin
began to haunt the show shops. He esti
mates that during the tlmo he was study
ing the rudiments of dramatic construction
he saw "Seven Keys to Baldpate" fifteen
times, "Get-nich-QuIck Walllnford" eight
times, and "Ofllcer 6C6" ten times.
Of all of these he made an exhaustive
study. His first Impression upon seeing
one of these clever examples of the dra
matist's art was always that there was no
such person as the man who could conceive
one of these. And then with each suc
cessive review the wonder would be further
dissipated as the means by which the dra
matist achieved his effects became ap
parent. Once the wheels behind the veneer
of dialogue had been detected It was im
possible not to see them and to watch them
move to the dictates of iho author. After
numerous visits, the most Intricate drama
resolved Itself Into a series of easily dis
tinguishable elements.
Marsln decided that not only could he
write a play, but that any newspaper man
who would take the trouble to study the
technique could. He set to work, and In a
few weeks had written and sold "See My
Lawyer," a farce that languished briefly
last season. It has been his observation
that any one can placo a play with a man
ager, that the difficulty lies In getting the
manager to produce the plfce once he has
acquired the rights, and that after the first
produotlon, whether the piece Is a success
or failure, tho author can get a hearing In
any office. v
At least his own personal experience led
Marcin to come to that conclusion. One of
his stories, when ho was still earning his liv
ing as a magazine writer, camo to the notice
of Georgo M. Cohan, who thought ho saw
a play In It, The story was called "Are
You My Wife?" and as a play It Is now Im
' pending, though Mr. Cohan never got
around to dramatizing It. But the incident
Introduced him to tho Cohan and Harris of
fice, and when "See My Lawyer" was fin
ished, that firm accepted It
, The, script remained pigeon-holed for
'some months, during which time Marcin
busied himself writing 'Tho House of
Glass." When It was ready ho passed
copies around freely among tho producing
offices. Including the C. & II. office, but
being still an untried dramatist the manu
scripts did not consume much of the time
of the readers. Marcln's etory of how he
finally landed the piece with Sam Harris
Is amusing.
"Harris kept putting me off," Marcin
relates, "promising to read the script the
next day and never doing It. In despera
tion I made the rounds In a vain endeavor
to get some one at least to read my play.
Finally H. II. Frazeo did and offered to
take It. I thought I would make one last
effort to get a hearing In the Cohan &
JIarrts office, so I made an appointment
with Sam that afternoon. When I reached
the office he said he was just starting home,
and if I would motor up with him wo could
pun over It there.
"Outside In the car were Willie Collier,
Wallle Eddlnger and Mortimer Shea. I

Throwing Bones to the Philadelphia Dog
THE "profession" calls Philadelphia "a bum theater town."
Well, who's to blame? The playgoer or the "profession"?
The answer ought to be plain enough after the atrocity com
mitted at the Broad Monday in the name of "The Two Janes."
"The Two Janes" was literally the poorest production, from
every point of view, offered to Philadelphia in years. How did
it get into town?
Of course, no manager can be expected to know a success
from a failure by reading a manuscript, or even from seeing it
in production. Otherwise, managers would all be millionaires,
play-going would become an almost perfect dissipation and there
wouldn't be the slightest necessity for giving doubtfuls like "Sport
of Law" and "Ruggles of Red Gap" a chance.
But there couldn't be the slightest doubt about "The Two
Janes." One reading of its book must have shown its absolute
nudity of humor. One glance at its score must have been enough
to lay bare its banality. Add to that the fact that this amateurish
piece was given a poor cast and an entirely inadequate production
for its premiere in Long Branch. Then what excuse remained
for putting it into a first-class theater in a metropolitan city?
There is one very obvious excuse, perhaps. The manager of
a theater has next to nothing to say about what his show shop
tries to sell the public. He has handed his property over to a
wholesale booking syndicate. But that only "passes the buck" to
the booking powers. What do they get out of such a blunder as
this? What do they get out of the many blunders, only less
vicious, by which Philadelphia has become a metropolitan dog
town, and, what's worse, a try-out for failures, almost never for
successes?
All they get is one more city that has learned to distrust
its theaters. It is bad enough to expect play-goers to remain a
loyal clientele to a theater presenting the many different sorts and
degrees of plays and players drama, comedy and musical show,
good, bad and indifferent which the wholesale producing and
touring system of America makes inevitable. It is madness to
expect anything but "a bum theater town" where things like
"The Two Janes" are foisted on the patrons of a first-class house.
