The dialogue may be funay or serious. The construction of one sen- tence in a play might be Galied play- writing, and on that one sentence may depend a word of gesture.” That's just the way to do it, play- wrights. Now hunt the missing word. Both Mrs, Furness and Mra Young had explained what each had done in turning out “The Lottery Man” My, Brady said in his opinion the work of Mrs, Furness, with a single exception, was that of @ good stage director and not @ playwright. ‘The witness was bodily from another play, “Yes,” was the reply. “It ts the cus- tom ‘of stage directors to steal from any old play you Itke in order to get a suo- cessful production.
