By PERCY HAMMOND.
N'«w York, March 11.
THE 1S1 dramatic revlewera who
have been acoutlng for play* on
behalf of John Golden, have
leeched the second stage of their
teconmtisance. thousands of manu
scripts have been investigated by
these astute Inquisitors, and from
them a hundred or more have been
selected as better than the others.
This lucky number will now be ex
amined by a smaller committee of 60,
each member of which will decide
between two plays. Eventually the
wlnnowere will be reduced to a su
preme jury of five, and upon the Judg
ment of that quintet will depend the
tealizatlon of Mr. Golden’s pet dream.
I have suspected Mr. Golden of a
prankish purpose In starling his tour
nament. On the surface he Is most
cordial to dramatic criticism, snd even
when it Is inclement lie turns tip his
fur collar and smiles enjoyably. But
fit heart, I think, he shivers a little
at our Icy blssts. Here, said he to
himself. Is a chance to retaliate.
Though It will he expensive, It may
be worth the cost to make the critics
work. If 191 of them choose a play
and It proves to be tinamuslng, a
vengeful satisfaction Is at hand. Tn
the remote possibility that It turns
out to be an entertainment the reve
w uue therefrom will mitigate the pangs
of disappointment. Either heada or
tails, he figured, he would be the win
ner. And, while 191 of us were
breathlessly heating the .hushes In
search of clues, Mr. Golden, with a
sardonic twinkle In his eye, played
golf or fished for tarpon.
It will probably distress Mr. Golden
to learn that I and others had a good
time reading plays for him. I found
myself hurrying homeward from work
every morn, eager to pursue my In
vestigations. Each package of drama
that was mailed to me was pregnant,
with possibilities. As In the earlv
hours I tore the wrappings off I felt
as a prospector feels when upon The
edge of a golconds. I experienced all
the picturesque delights of explora
tion ,1f not of discovery. The titles
of the plays were alluring, their casts
of characters llkewlss. In all of them
there were eymptoms of plot, situa
tion. drama and life. I read 142 of
them from the first scene to the final
curtain, without suffering a tedious
moment. If this one, thought I, were
touched tip a. bit it would be snnther
‘ Rain;’* or If that one were to l>e
changed a trifle It would be a* good
»» "Pigs'’ or "The Wild Duck."
Most of the works I assayed were
rich In everything except manner.
They contained good stories, propa
gsnda. characterization snd Ideas,
but they lacked the persuasive style.
Their authors. It seemed, were either
too familiar with the theater, or not
familiar enough. Few of them knew]
mtf anything about showmanship—the
most essential quality In prosperous
play-writing.

Will it be all right for m« to tell
tlie 142 amateur author* who entrust
ed me with their brain children that,
without exception, they were patient
mid understanding? I haven’t had a
protesting not# from any candidate.
Their faith in th# sincerity of my
judgment cause* my eyes to dampen.
They do not seem to know that a
reviewer is almost as fallible as a
Broadway producer or a professional
New York plav reader.
Mr. Golden's conteat has at least
one considerable flaw In Its method
of operation. Myself, being a kindly
reviewer in Broadway, the most fer
tile of the play bells, naturally re
ceived mor# dramas than some other
members of what Mr. Golden whimsi
cally refers to as the "coterie." Those
who sent their wares to me or Mr.
Mantle, of “The News,” were htirk
a*»rs in tha big market, place, had
only on* oha.nce in many, whereas
those who consigned their product to
better Judge# in tha outskirts of the
theater had advantageous odds. . . .

strength that he holds up en auto

mountains and Into the city In order
to deliver Rally Morgan at the rail
road station. Much to his chagrin
and fear he discovers that Hally has
run sway from her dance, s twogun
sheriff, end has used him for her
pawn. Henry's efforts to extricate
himself from the tolls of this sheriff
and the feminine wiles of the girl Is
the basis upon which the plot of the
piece le founded.
Otto Kruger has never before l>een
ween In a play which fitted him belter
and hie undoubted talent* to *ueh per

Edward Arnold's "Hheriff” has

"I AA'ant My Man,” the new pic
ture In which Milton Sill* and Doris
Kenyon will Co-star, has already
started a lot of talk. It is the story
of a man blinded for eight years ami
opening his eyes upon litis modern
iazs age. From then on his heart
Is fair prey and ihe hunters are the
types of girls he used to know In
JP10 and a 1935 flapper model.
The film Is a screen version of
Struthers Burt's novel, "Interpreter's
House.” It has been reviewed by
eastern critics as tth* outstanding
society drama of the year and will
be the feature attraction at the Rialto
theater for a week starting next

against new and more daring man
hunters. May Allison. Phyllis Haver
and Alyce McCormick, an Omaha
girl, are In the supporting east.
