...simple; when they make a break, "All that you do is say, 'Why, that's not a mistake!' "Let them say 'It is me' to replace 'It is I'; "At 'Who are you looking for?' don't bat an eye; " 'Try and get well' let them write, and 'Walk slow'; "Surely let them get by with 'If that wasn't so-' "Let us write a nice list of mistakes they can use, "And publish a broadside 'gainst those who enthuse "About writing...

There are few continental plays that escape the eagle eye of American producers intent on box office receipts, but there are many manuscripts on the market containing good drama that is more suited to amateur production.
