DIRECT ME.

A laugh is a first impression. An audience can't analyse what has been said, decide it is funny and then laugh about it. What ever the point is, it must hit them right between the eyes.

They must laugh first and think after- warts, and if in thinking of it afterwards they

again, so much the botter for the you have done. But first of all the audience must laugh, for laughter is the life of Life farce. The dificulty is to retain your first impression.

You hit on what seems an excruciatingly funny situation, and you think it is funny through several sicges of rewriting. Then comes a day when you say to yourself: "! funny after all?" This wonder if this is

impression was good; stick to that.

But having written u farce, the worst is to come; if you are lucky it is to be produced, and then-the first night. think there can Le o keener torture in the world than to have written something you 'feel to be truly funny until that psychologica! moment when the curtain rises on the open- ing performance.

Your spirits cun in exact opposition tụ the curtain, with the same degree of speed. You wonder why you did it; you wish you hadn't. You wonder how long the curtain will stay up; how long the audience will stand it.

If they had known of this form of agony A the time of the Spanish lnquisitions, they would have used it na their pet performance. Then when you have stood the atmin just as long as you can, the audience kindly laughs. You cr ch your broath and come back. As the play progresses, they laugh some more, and you realise they are laugh ing at the samo things you laughed at in the first place. So far your judgment has

When the certain goes down you feel as if you had lived a thousand years, and you know that what you have done must now stand un its merits. Your part in it is over. The rest is on the knees of the gods.
