"© BILL NYE'S FARCE,
Collaborating With Fan] Potter — Playwrit.
ing In Prisons
Bill Nye is going to try again fio util
fue his humor in a farce. His fret at
tempt waa an utter failure. He talked
other day abont the second, which
taken the form of **A Stag Party’
is in rehearsal for early production.
It is a collaboration with Paul Potter
“Sometimes 1 fancy,” said Mr. Nye,
+ that Potter looks npon homor si a sart
of literary varnish that can be applied
with a brush whenever and wherever it
may be deemed necessary. I know he
has a pleasant habit of handing me the
manuscript of a scenes and saying,
“Here, old man, just pus a little repar
toe in that, will you?
“Sometimes I bave fancied from his
manner that be espected me todo Rt
while he waited, just as if be wera hay
ing bis hat blocked. 1 have fund ont
already that there is a great deal of dif-
ference between a joke that is intended
or the stage apd one that is intended
for publication in a magazine or Dews
to roll a good bit of humor ander yonr
tongue, or to hear ft over again, where
as if you come across something funuy
in a book yom can go back and read it
over again and stedy its subtletion and
enjoy it at your leisure Dr. Holmes,
whise humor, by the way, was of the
kind that will boar the closest sort of
stady, said that a Jecture was never
thormghly seocessfal until it bad been
delivered about 100 times and had been
shorn of all the things that the man
who wrote the isctore and delivered it
considered clever and enriched with all
the cheap and obvious jokes that be
could pick op in the course of his trav
els
“Well, I have consoientionsly tried to
put rome original jokes into my work,
although it has been a sore temptation
to got even with the farce comedies and
eomio operas which have been using my
stuff for the last 10 or 15 years. Potter
and 1 have worked together very har.
