Mr. Walters: Just to give us your opinion: do you think yours was good or bad?
Witness: I don’t know. I am naturally impressed in its favour, but several people—some people to whom I submitted it—they rather doubt it.
Mr. Walters: They don’t think there is any “Magic” in it?
Witness: No.
Mr. Walters: I don’t want you to think for a moment that all dramatists are bad people. I only mean that you may possibly have written a bad drama.
Witness: There are several dramatists on the Jury, and they can take their impression.
Mr. Walters: You would not give a reason why it has not come out?
Witness: I don’t think it is up to me. If I am asked for a reason, one is I have had very little time to push its merits.
Mr. Walters: I suppose though, that even bad plays are produced sometimes?
Witness: No doubt.
